I've been in college for too long, while my friends have graduated from college. Some people started to get the job they dreamed of, while I was still struggling with books and lecturers. do you believe that we live our own way? or am I really late than the other friends? does our failure occur because of the success of those who have graduated and graduated first?

But what is too long? I had a friend who took his time with college . . . we teased that he was a professional student . Seriously though, it's not about the time - it's more what you do with that knowledge thereafter.

@sharon6345 Thank you! From my experience, I rushed through college - and what for. I wish I had taken my time and let more knowledge sink in .

@sharon6345 Some things I do not rush anymore, but some things I still do . I just wish I knew back then what I know now.

You are right, the most important thing is what we have done with the knowledge we have, whether it can be useful for society at large or only for ourselves

how many years are we talking here? It does not guarantee that you graduated from college that you will be successful

I've been in college for more than 4 years and a lot of misfortune happened during college, related to grades, and I'm not a lazy person, maybe you're right for my time to lukus not now but later at the right time, hopefully at the right time I can be successful as well as others

You make your own success and failure. College is a choice. Not a requirement. You're welcome to study at your pace. No one should judge you for that.

here the view of society is too rigid, students like me who graduate late will definitely be labeled stupid and lazy, I have no problem with that, as you say, we determine our own success, because we are the judges, the jury of our lives

Of course, there is no word lazy in my dictionary, it seems that time will explain later

Doesn't college tuition fee really expensive? If your parents pay for it than maybe you can make bit as motivation to finish it as soon as possible.

of course the cost is expensive, but every time I remember it I become sad, I have tried to catch up with this graduation as soon as possible, but the grades given by the lecturer always prevented me so I did a lot of repeating courses every semester

Don't measure your life with others. Keep working on at your own pace.
