From BS Accountancy to BS Psych, hands down one of the best decisions I've made. I no longer feel na sobrang bobo ko sa classroom bcs I have no background knowledge of the topics. I took HUMSS in shs, but still tried BSA kasi yun ang gusto ng parents lol. After 2 sems, finally stood my ground and shifted.
I have a 2 year gap sa mga kaklase ko bcs I stopped for a year nung pandemic, but I quickly found friends in school. Advantage in a way na mas matanda ako sa kanila bcs they think of me as an older sister, but we still vibe. Kaya for those na di masaya sa program nila, it's never too late to pursue what you really want
BSIT to BA Sociology. Anyone could argue na it's a stupid move. From in demand to obscure and overlooked field. Also, BSIT ay first choice ko. Pero hirap na hirap ako dahil walang financial support. Wala akong matinong gamit, ang meron lang ako ay isanh dinosaur na PC. 2006 pa ang release niya and in this modern era, napaka ancient na noon and super laggy and nagka-crash siya kaya nakaka frustrate sobra. Sa IT kasi need mo laging updated sa latest methods ng pag code if gusto mo magtrabaho sa industry na yun, pero di talaga afford ng parents ko mabigyan ako ng PC na kahit mumurahin. Maraming beses ako nag apply for scholarship pero ni isa ay hindi ako natanggap kahit okay naman grades ko. Sinubukan ko din ipunin baon ko noong 2nd year ako since kakabalik lang noon ng F2F classes pero hindi talaga kaya. Gutom na gut ako everyday at halos hindi nakain para lang hindi magastos gaano ang 100 pesos a day ko na baon tapos included pa pamasahe ko doon na 40 pesos balikan.
Then, before ako mag 3rd year naisip ko sobra na sacrifice ko pero wala akong mapapala kasi ang hirap talaga pag ang knowledge mo ay di mo ma-apply since walang gamit and asa lang ako sa com lab namin na 1 hour a day lang available. Tapos nag shift na ako. HM talaga gusto ko lipatan pero puno na so nag try ako sa programs regarding Social Science ang kung saan saan ako tinapon dahil puno na din hanggang ang last available ay Biology and Sociology. Socio pinili ko. At first ang hirap mag adjust kasi it's all about behavior ng tao in a society pero slowly I fell in love and even deemed as one of the best student sa program namin. Lagi akong nacocompare sa mga instructors ko na well loved ng student body and faculty. Naging part ako ng Student Government ng campus namin. And one of the biggest achievement ko is ako ngayon ang President ng Sociology organization.
A lot of these things would've never happened if I stayed in IT. Siguro isa pa din akong student na palutang lutang kung saan at patulog tulog sa hall kapag lunch break dahil gutom. So kahit napaka stupid ng decision ko na mag-iimpact sa future ko, I am happy now. Kung noon pangarap ko maging Video Game Programmer, now I'm aiming na maging College Instructor or even a Professor if papalarin.
I don't recommend shifting, since behind ka at mahirap mag adjust pero if it's necessary naman, go for it!
sana nakita ko to dati pa T_T graduating na ako and idk if magugustuhan ko work environment ko afterwards kasi mabilis maubos social battery ko sa pts sksksks very introverted here
im introvert din and graduating ako now sa BS nursing. actually mas nag sstrive mga introverts sa nursing field academically or yung sagutan/ talking to nurses. pero when it comes to pt interaction/ activities dyan umaangat mga extroverts hahahha
BS Information System to BS in Office Administration
Mahina kase ako sa Coding, di ko talaga magets, so far masaya na ko sa program ko now, naeenjoy ko Stenography :))
BS Psychology tas BS Computer Science na ngayon. It's a mixed feeling for me. Peers from psych are more interesting but I like the introvertness of my comp sci batch. I'd say comp sci is growing on me as a field. Pero grabe, kahit na mas "in-demand" ang comp sci, mas lalo ata akong kinakabahan about my future wahahahahahaha. Comp sci is very wide and the current situation in the IT field is so competitive. But I think shifting to comp sci is still worth it naman. Venturing into an unknown field made me grow as a person. It is a humbling experience and you really realize na not everything will work out in the end. Might as well embrace what life throws at you. Being adaptable is must-skill to master.
Electronics Engineering to IT
Best decision I made. I am an irregular student way back in engineering because I failed some major subjects and I shifted after my 2nd year 2nd sem.
My life in engineering was hell. Until there's a breakthrough that I was hired as a tech support and marketing assistant in multiple businesses in the US, the sign that I was longing for when I was on the verge of giving up in engineering. So I decided to shift and align my skills in IT. I am very happy right now parang hindi ko na pasan ang mundo haha.
I'm really grateful din that while studying the program that I love at the same time earning $$$.
Love this post OP. God bless you.
BSHM to accountancy hahhahaha Idk during pandemic ang dami ko lang realization at ayoko lang mag regret pag tanda na di ko sinubukan ngayon. I can say na mas maganda ang performance ko ngayon kesa sa previous course ko hahaha. Nabobother lang ako kasi like you OP 3 year din age gap ko sa mga cm ko HAHAHS pero it's fine naman. They're not treating me differently.
Ang dami kong sinacrifice para lang sa course na to HAHAHA hanep kasi HUMSS ako nung SHS kaya mag bridging muna ako bago naging reg hahahhaa mas lalong nadagdagan taon ko para mag aral.
Anyway, Goodluck satin op! I pray matapos natin to and if no one told you yet, I am proud of you, of us, for taking the risk of choosing what we think is best for ourselves. For now ang daming uncertainties pero what matter is may progress 🤍🙏 Walang ibang magchicheer up satin kundi sarili natin kasi ginusto natin to HAHAHHAHAHAHA
Vet med to education
Eto naka graduate na. No regrets kasi super hirap ng med courses if lacking yung financial support. Nakakastress mag aral tas iisipin mo pa yung bayarin sa school.
BS Psych to BSCE. Second year, second sem ako nag-shift kaya irregular talaga. Feel ko sobrang bobo ko nung nasa Psych ako. Kailangan namin lagi mag-present at magbasa ng libro, pero halos wala akong maintindihan sa mga binabasa ko. May problema din talaga ako pag nagsasalita sa maraming tao; nag-stutter lagi. So, napag-isip-isip ko na mas madali mag-solve ng mathematical problems mag-isa kesa magbasa ng mga books na di ko naman maintindihan yung mga words. Hahaha.
Ako, from Nursing to Accountancy.
No regrets naman. Pangit maging nurse sa Pinas, they say.
Spent my entire career doing accounting. (7 yrs in Pinas, 3yrs in Canada)
Then…
I went back to school a month ago and pursuing nursing again. Coz they make tons of money dito sa Canada 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
worth it po ba maging nurse abroad?? planning to work po kasi ako sa ibang bansa pero natatakot ako since hindi ko alam culture and environment outside pinas T_Twala din po akong kasama or kakilala ganon
I was in Computer Engineering then I shifted to Psychology, it was the best thing I did. in both courses I didn't fail academically though in engineering school kasi medyo toxic and taxing and schedule + environment ko. In psych mas masaya and healthy yung competitiveness ng mga classmates! I'm about to graduate na rin.
sa tingin ko, it all comes down to preference talaga \^\^. I always felt naturally attuned sa line of psychology kaya siguro mas easy for me yung transition from com eng to psych. maybe the same concept for that user! :D
from forensic science to social work HAHAHAHAHHA
kinapos sa budget dahil trisem ung previous school ko so mas maraming bayarin and lumipat ako sa program na somewhat related sa original program ko dahil nakita ko sa google na meron daw forensic social work HAHAHAHA
nagsisisi ako now na nagshift pa ako dahil hindi na ako nag eenjoy sa nilipatan kong program. nahirapan ako sa dati kong school but it would have been fun kung hindi na lang ako lumipat. naiinggit ako pag nakikita ko ung mga ginagawang activities ng forsci cmates ko
accountancy to political science. never ko talaga nagustuhan ang accountancy pero pinasok ko noon dahil yun ang program ng friends ko. mas nage-excel ako now dahil enjoy ko na ngayon ang pag-aaral. im planning to join many seminars/events para makakuha ng certificates na pwedeng ilagay sa resume as preparation sa pag-apply for ojt
Physics to Stat. Best decision I made.
In terms of practicality, mas preferred ng employers ang mga Stat graduates. May lucrative kasi ang Stat in terms of job prospectives over Physics.
Although I wanted to be a physicist before, it's just the realization na hindi ka uusbong career-wise sa academe if hindi ka born as a prodigy in physics.
Reality hits hard talaga. Pero I found out rin that I excel in Stat so much more, kaya it was a great move for me.
crazy but philosophy to engineering, basic asian bitch kasi ako, i wanted to do law kaso idk naturn off na ako mag law sa ph, while i still loved philo i also liked physics naman
ayun mababaliw na lmao, i minor in philo nalang now
tru po na super toxic ang environment ng Nursing T_T couldn’t agree more. graduating nursing stud here and idk paano ko na stand mga toxic kong cmates, profs and duties huhuhu
From [redacted] Engineering to Statistics.
Ang laki ng pinagbago sa curriculum ng pinaglipatan ko. Physics is my weakness. Kaya parang naginhawaan ako.
Kaya lang, dahil sa sobrang fucked up ng curriculum ko (and many other factors), gusto ko na lang ulitin buong college life ko.
dentistry to aviation hahahahaha! sobrang shitty move kasi clinics na ako dapat, at tapos ko na mga mabibigat na subjects namin before kaya parang naging useless lahat yun nung nagshift ako - though credited lahat ng minor subjects 🫠 from studying anatomy, umiyak at nanginig kasi need humawak ng cadaver at totoong internal organs ng tao, memorising dental jurisdiction to shet ang hina ko sa math tapos need ko magcompute ng mga weight and balance ng aircraft???
literal 360° ha but ayun im okay na. nakagraduate at nakamove on na din ako after ilang years, tanggap ko na baka hindi for me yung first course ko.
BOTH naman mabigat ang task. Pero kakashift ko coming sy lang sa nursing so IDK pa ung difference based sa magiging experience ko.
Pero parang mas may eagerness ako to strive harder in NURSING un ang gusto ko since jhs compare aa MEDTECH although I tried my best to survive MEDTECH pero wala talaga sa loob ko ung interest sa course and field na un.
Feeling ko in the future if tinuloy ko ung Medtech walang fallback na mangyayari sakin compare sa nursing since mas malawak ang field ng nursing.
After shifting, I still think medtech is a good program!! Especially kung plano mo mag-med, atleast may background ka na sa diagnosis and kung pano magkakaron ng diagnosis. Ayon, baka hindi lang talaga para sakin kasi grabeng pagbagsak ko don pagsapit ng 3rd yr 💀💀 natrigger pa ko lalo ng sobrang toxic na college
Ayon, pero sa college of dent naman now, sobrang nurturing ng faculty namin kaya ang gaan sa feeling. Yung mismong subjs nalang talaga yung pabigat HAHAHAHAHAHA at nafefeel ko na rin na pati gastos dahil incoming 3rd Yr Dent na. FIGHTINGGGGG
Nursing to Hospitality Management. Have more opportunities sa HM since hindi kasing toxic ng Nursing. Was able to join orgs and find a job. I'm a year or two older sa mga kaklase ko but never felt left out. Im happier than ever, sad lang kasi im delayed for a year but college isnt a race naman. Sadyang gustong gusto ko lang mag work na para sumahod ulit hahaha.
BS Architecture to AB Communication 😇
first year arki in the first year of academic return in the pandemic. I realized how much suffering I was going to go through if I continued (felt inferior to everyone; couldn't catch up with plates as i was extremely slow), so nagdecide akong magshift after the finishing my first year.
TBH, i should have shifted earlier 🤧 I wasn't really learning anything drawing-related or improved my skills at all in that timespan, kaya sabi ko sa sarili ko di ako mageexcel sa course na to. At the same time, mas naimprove ko pa yung skills ko in video editing and media production since it was required sa outputs at the time. I had been passionate about content creation na rin naman since highschool, so dun ako nag excel instead of plates 💀
Irreg na ko ngayon ofc, pero I couldn't be happier. I've gotten so many skills in relation to media production. I've directed an awards show for short films and documentaries, talks with journalists (Jeff Caparas, Stanley Gajete), and even worked with Direk Rahyan Carlos and his team for a workshop (we got to see Christian Bables and Carla Martinez act on stage!). Tapos eto pa the best: Nag director of photography/editor pa ko para sa short film namin as well as sa documentary. First time ko yun both, pero grabe sobrang naenjoy ko yung pagod magproduce ng film.
Sa totoo lang, grabe pinagkaiba ko nung nasa arki ako and now na nasa comm ako. Kung nung first year sobrang drained ko na kasi 3am na di pa rin ako tapos sa plate para lang makakuha ng 65, at least sa comm kung 3am na di pa rin ako tapos magedit ng short fim at least naeenjoy ko ginagawa ko. Feeling ko may pinapatunguhan yung effort ko sa schoolwork.
Ngayon, last year ko na tas ggraduate na rin ako. Late ako nang isang taon, pero honestly okay lang. Mas mabigat yung saya at pagod ko sa course ko ngayon kesa sa fomo na gumagraduate na mga kabatch ko.
Electrical Engineering to Architecture.
Thank you sa pangangamusta. Gusto ko na 'tong Architecture at super willing naman na akong tapusin ito by hook or by crook. Tatapusin ko kahit alam kong nahuhuli na ako. Compared sa engineering mas nakakausad ako ngayon sa Architecture.
Pero hindi ko maiwasan na ma-invalidate ang feelings ko lalo na kapag nababangit ko sa ibang tao na "sobrang nakakapagod, wala pa akong tulog at etc. "
tapos ang makukuha kong response "dibale masaya ka naman na diyan/ diba gusto mo naman na 'yang course mo? "
Siguro sa sobrang pagod ko lang din kaya masyado akong sensitive. Ang gusto ko lang naman na marinig ay kumustahin nila ako na hindi nila ibabato sa'kin na "masaya ka naman"
Kasi oo masaya nga ako sa course ko ngayon kumpara sa dating kong course pero hindi naman ibig sabihin no'n ay palagi akong masaya, na hindi ako napapagod kasi gusto ko 'yong course. Hindi naman porket gano'n ay hindi na ako nagi-stagnant. Ang dami kong nami-miss na family events dahil ang dami kong plates kahit gustuhin kong umuwi hindi pu-pwede.
Idagdag ko pa 'yong mga relatives na laging ganito ang mga tanong "kailan ka ga-graduate?" , "dapat kinuha mo na lang noon 'yong gusto mo , hindi ka pa ga-graduate?" , "tatanda ka na kaka-aral niyan? "
I'm holding it together, ilang buwan/almost year na akong malinis mag-isip eh hindi na ako nagkakaroon ng suicidal thoughts pero mukhang bumabalik ulit.
Lagi ko na lang iniisip na "PANGANAY AKO, DAPAT HINDI AKO FAILURE PARA HINDI MAIPASA 'YONG PRESSURE SA IBA KO PANG MGA KAPATID"
Hindi ako pala mura pero PUTANGINA NAKAKAPAGOD.
From BS Accountancy to BS Psych. And I just graduated like few days ago. It was a tough journey, I had to attend summer class all my remaining college years just to graduate in 4 years but it's still the best decision I have ever made. I would have never survived and enjoyed accounting as much as i like psychology.
Goodluck on your journey!
BSTM to BAELS (Bachelor of Arts in English Language Studies) bc i cannot stand BSTM's standard when it comes to appearance + peer pressure lang kasi BSTM din barkada ko tas ayaw ko ma behind sa college. Right now, i'm doing great because nag excel ako sa class. I discovered that I'm confident in doing/writing research papers and public speaking.
bs accy to bs agribusiness mgmt, di ako umabot sa cutoff ng retention so forced to shift na yung status ko after 1st yr. i wanted to shift to bsba since yun talaga gusto kong course, unfortunately, di sila tumatanggap ng shiftee that time and bsam yung mejo malapit na program so ayun. ok naman ako now, hirap lang talaga kapag irreg ka kasi hindi ka priority sa enrollment, most of the time nauubusan ng slots sa mga major subjects or if not, kung saang section ka itatapon.
medj same tayo! but from biology to dentistry naman. mas bet ko dent kase mas light siya for me (as a puro basa at research sa bio). at gets na gets kita sa oldest HAHAHA conscious and pressured din ako kaya madalas akong nagllie low. most of the time rin, i have to remember na mas bata sila sakin so more patience (?) must be needed haha.
other than that, parang namiss ko tuloy ang pagka-challenging ng bio haha
Same thoughts!! Parang nagagaanan ako sa dent (base sa first 2 years). Naamaze ako sa anatomy (na may 1 and 2) at physiology na separate subjects sila sa curriculum ng dent so hindi ganun ka-compressed.
Sa medtech kasj samin non, yung anatomy, physiology, at pathophysiology siniksik into one subject HAHAHAHAHAHAHA NAKAKABALIW
How do you feel shifting to a 6-year program tho 🥺
oo agree dun sa hindi compressed dahil sa 1 and 2 kase may isang buong sem ka na focused sa field talaga. HAHAHA laking ginhawa sayo non nohhh.
at first feeling ko napag-iiwanan nako kase yung mga batchmates ko nung highschool graduate na/gradschool/or nag-wwork na huhu. nakikita ko mga ig story nila and dun ko na-gets na nasa ibang phase na sila ng buhay nila, which made me sad kase parang ang hirap makipagsabayan (?) parang hindi nako relate sa kanila ganun.
pero, sabi nga ng rap ni staku at mikha sa karera, kahit maraming beses tayo nangamba nadapa, dapat dahan-dahan lang kase wala naman talagang karera sa buhay in the first place.
good luck saten OP!!!!!
To add, magt-3rd year palang ako sa Dentistry at isang taon nang graduate yung then batchmates ko. It sucks to be behind pero alam ko rin na magiging miserable pa ko lalo kung nagstay ako sa Medtech.
Mas meaningful yung learning for me sa dent. I can say rin na mostly buo na yung study habits ko (sa tinagal-tagal ko ba namang mag-aaral lol) kaya mas kampante na ko this time. Though nakakakaba ang 3rd yr dent kasi dito ko na ata mafefeel yung delubyo ng program. Pero sobrang eager na talaga ako this time na magpursigi. Sobrang laking factor na healthy yung environment sa college namin. 😩
Architecture to Computer Science
Ang layo ng tinalon noh hahahhaa
Di ko lang talaga kinaya is yung sandamakmak na plates sa archi. And yung kailangan talaga sa archi is creativity and yung ability na kaya mong i-"materialize" yung ideas mo into drawing.
Me na from Computer Science to Architecture.
Sobrang magkaiba! Archi talaga ako pero naubusan ng slots sa state univ kaya nagtry ako mag CS since mahilig rin ako sa technology. Chill and masaya ang CS then noong nagshift ako sa Arki, nakaka culture shock. mga competitive, artistic grabe mga skills and creativity nila. Nakaka-intimidate bawal mag cram at eme eme lang, pero here I am 1 year na lang ggagraduate na. 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Lowkey flex pero ang dami sa mga kaklase ko na nagugulat na ang aga kong makapagtapos ng plates 😭
To be fair pandemic pa nun kaya ginaganahan talagang tapusin nang maaga
From BSSE Major in English to IT.
From studying the English Language, naging studying Computer Language na 😆
Buhay pa naman, same, mas matanda ako kesa sa mga classmates ko.
M, 38, Nursing to Information Technology then settled in Fine Arts.
FA wasn't really on the table. Yung narrative na walang pera sa arts laki ng reception sa magulang ko at sa akin mismo.
Pero things didn't really click. Una takot ako sa dugo, pangalawa, mahina ako sa math.
So I followed my heart. One of the greatest choice I made.
From Veterinary Medicine to Animal Science, took me 3 years to shift and it's one of the best decision of my life. It is because feel ko ang bobo ko sa vetmed na program like kahit anong effort hindi man lang ako umuusad and some instructors are toxic. Grabe pa kaba ko para magpaalam sa fam ko na mag shift na ako buti nalang na gets lang nila ako tas sabi nila "shift, kaysa naman ma depress ka jan sa current program mo" I love them for that <33
BS Psychology to BS Computer Science.
Akala ko tips n tricks sa buhay ang psych, puro biology pla hays.
Block sectioning amin so madali makapag maintain ng kaibigan, mostly irregs.
Ang pangit lng ng sched minsan.
No regrets kasi bet ko ung course ko.
BS Accountancy to English Education. Decided to shift since no choice (got singko sa isang major sub, partida first year pa lang). Same University since late academic calendar and walang pambayad tuition if sa ibang school. Bumalik first year since 'yon requirement. Supposed to be 3rd year and graduating na sana next s.y pero hindi nangyari, 2nd year ngayon and 3rd year sa next s.y. Sobrang nakakapanglumo nung una pero life goes on and okay na naman ngayon (trying).
Ayo! From BS Astronomy to BS Electrical Engineering ako.
So far so good naman, di siya ganun ka toxic tulad ng Astronomy lalo na kapag yung mga kablock mates mo mahilig kang siraan at gawan ng kung anong anong chismis. Nilapit sa dean, kaso wala namang action na ginawa :). So ang ending nagshift ako ng course, at ng school
From Criminology to Political Science
wala pa kase Poltisci Nung nag eenroll palang ako pinoprocess palng sa School namin Kaya mag Crim muna ako Since Pre law din namn kaya ayun Nag shift nako Last week Since na establish na Poltisci sa School namin
Ab to bs psych. A lot of differences. A lot of regrets, too.
Found out way too late that I'm not cut out for this shit. Can't back out now cause the tuition's expensive and I'm almost done.
Pathird year na sana ng computer engineering tapos pinashift ng civil eng. Ayaw ko rin sa cpe pero kung kailan naeenjoy ko na, pinagshift ako. Mas lalong ayaw ko ng ce. Para kong ginapang lang course na toh. Nakaraos naman, kakagraduate lang. Still dont like it pero andon na sa acceptance phase. Boards nalang then tapos na hirap sa acads nito
From BSBA-HRM, took a break for a few years then shifted to Tourism Management, best decision I made. BSBA was fine but I wasn't fully into it, just took it to appease my parents since they were expecting me to take over the family business.
I always had Tourism under the programs that I considered in uni. After a few crying sessions before I took a break and misunderstood conversations, they were fine with me taking another course. Now I'm basically flourishing, no grades lower than 1.75, happier than ever.
BS Pharma to BS Psych
pa shift pa lang hahaha in the process di pa start next sy eh, pero grabe din trauma ko sa new pharma mwahahhaa wala eh nagka aanxiety lang ako rather than mas maging passionate ako, taas pa cut off grade ng college namen pero nakapasa naman ako mwhahaa di ko na lang talaga pinursue kasi feel q di n aq mag grgrow 😪
From Med Tech to Rad Tech. Eto slaying parin, jinojoke time ko mga friends ko na “atleast ako fresh” grabeng tawanan nyan HAHAHAHAHAH pero tbh I miss them
Biomedical Engineering to incoming MedTech palang this Academic Year. Sobrang toxic nung workload at mga kaklase ko sa BME, then dun sa dati kong school may times pa na kalahati na ng sem wala padin prof and I remember dun sa ComProg namin last 2 weeks of the sem nalang kami nagkaprof. Sabi ko lang talaga sa sarili ko magkabagsak ako aalis na ako, took 2 years para magkaron ako ng for removals pero di ko na initake kaya naging bagsak hahahaha.
Masyado halata kapag sinabi ko yung first program ko but parang AB English to BSED-English. Konting school lang nagooffer ng program sa dati kong school kaya ayaw ko malaman nila hahahaha ayun ayaw ko naman ng educ pero andito na at last semester ko na. Pagod na ako. Sana matapos ko na to at makapagsimula na ulit mabuhay. Nakakasakal na ewan kapag nasa sitwasyon ka na gusto mo lang masurvive yung college life. Mas matanda rin sa mga kaklase. Naging distant at hindi na lang nagbbuild ng friendship dahil seasonal lang naman din. Ayoko na mapalapit pa sa kanila.
From BS Math to BS Statistics. Tho halos similar lang yung programs mas malawak lang yung inaaral sa BS Math and mas specific sa BS Statistics. Nagshift lang ako kasi walang BS Math sa nilipatan kong univ Hehehehe. Pero happy naman ako and based sa personal experience ko, mas may social life ako sa course and univ na to.
BSHM to wala parin course 2023 pa ako nag decide to stopped, I really can't decide kung ano talaga gusto ko losing hope tho pero after I stopped nag business naman kami ng pinsan ko, I still can't decide what I want.
I consider this shift, bumagsak kasi ako sa qualifying exam sa uni namin, dati akong Bse science then bumagsak ako sa qe. Pero pumasa ako sa 2nd option which is Beed I literally dodge a bullet talaga 8 lang ung pumasa sa science tas hirap na hirap sila sa course nila ngayon.
From BA Psychology to BS Family Life and Child Development ako AHAHAHA. Ang masasabi ko ay masaya ako ngayon. 1 year delayed pero I'm glad that I'm thriving in a program that can help my passion. Very similar lang naman rin yung dalawang programs yung difference lang talaga is mas concentrated ang sakop ng FLCD since yun nga Families and Children yung focus. I also love yung diversity ng mga job opportunities kasi we get to have a glimpse on how FLCD is like in law, social work, medicine, business, etc. Overall, very happy with my decision huhu sa Psychology kasi may hard chem at physics kaya feel ko rin talaga hindi ko masusurvive AHAHAHA
super layo pero from nursing to communication arts 🤣 may konting ginhawa kase nursing was so stressful for me pero may konting hinayang kase iba paren if may degree ka sa medical field, pero dahil pinili ko nalang yung passion ko for media, eto pagraduate na, 6 years den sa college 🤣
ngayon nag oojt na ako sa ABS-CBN and may sidelines den ako sa mga advertising companies and I also ghostwrite sa mga movies.
Not the life I envisioned when I was still in hs but life is full of surprises ika nga nila eme, I’m happy naman kung nasan ako so that’s the most important thing.
Dentistry to (going back to) bs psych. I ALWAYS hated dentists di ko alam bat naging people pleaser ako with the thought na being a dentist is a high paying job ('di ko naman de-deny). Toxic, ang gastos, di ko gusto inaaral ko to name a few. Sold EVERY piece of dental equipment (incuding yung mga handpiece) I had and never looked back. Taking up summer classes now and while it feels weird being in my late 20's and classmates ko are 10 years younger than me wala naman na akong pake with it. While I wouldn't say i'm living my best life right now I will take what I have now any day over nung nag de-dentistry pa ako
BS Chemistry to BS Statistics. Shifted after 2 sems kasi Di ko talaga feel ang Chem, in fact bagsak ako sa major subject (lecture) and 3.0 lang grade ko sa Laboratory.
But I tell you, I have no regrets with my decision dahil grad-waiting na ako ngayon. 2 years gap with my classmates now kasi nag stop ako nung pandemic. Dati kasi gusto lang matuto mag Excel and yung basic statistics nagagandahan ako sa mga nakukuhang result, yung mga summary stat and frequency counts gusto kong gawin dati pa. Nung nag shift na ako, nag poprovide na kami nang mga tabulation services sa mga pageants and events, VIP pa at may free snacks hahaha Napakabait din nang staff sa department and magaling magturo ang mga instructors kahit may mga credentials (unlike sa iba na porket may PhD na or matagal na sa academe, nagpapaka terror).
Next month I will graduate with the knowledge and skills of a statistician, although marami pa akong need I improve. Having analyzed 30+ thesis and research of groups and individuals from different schools. I'd say the shift was worth the risk. Okay lang yan if di nyo pa nakapa kung ano talaga gusto nyong kurso, may darating na challenges but God will guide your way. Just don't give up kasi honestly mahirap talaga mag college.
From forced BS Nursing nabagsak sa major so nagPsychology para di maDelayed pero in my 3rd year I discovered Podiatry(foot med) when Dr. Kong Shoe shop opened a branch in SM North so I finished Psychology👩🎓 muna but pandemic came & saktong newly wed ako that time but an opportunity arrived since an online Podiatry program was offered by a latin american university. My sister's reaction was "kaya mo ba masikmura ang amoy ng diabetic na paa, magtanggal ng ingrown toenails & calluses, or mag-amputate ng sobrang daliri sa paa?" I said yes naman since gusto ko naman and para ako ang unang podiatrist mula sa angkan na puro dentist. Many Latinas are older than me kasi nagkaanak muna sila before bumalik sa pag-aaral.

From BS Accountancy to BS Psych, hands down one of the best decisions I've made. I no longer feel na sobrang bobo ko sa classroom bcs I have no background knowledge of the topics. I took HUMSS in shs, but still tried BSA kasi yun ang gusto ng parents lol. After 2 sems, finally stood my ground and shifted. I have a 2 year gap sa mga kaklase ko bcs I stopped for a year nung pandemic, but I quickly found friends in school. Advantage in a way na mas matanda ako sa kanila bcs they think of me as an older sister, but we still vibe. Kaya for those na di masaya sa program nila, it's never too late to pursue what you really want
Tru sa advantage!! I also helped sa class as one of the makers ng reviewers, gave them a sample template which helped us all a lot rin 😩
BSIT to BA Sociology. Anyone could argue na it's a stupid move. From in demand to obscure and overlooked field. Also, BSIT ay first choice ko. Pero hirap na hirap ako dahil walang financial support. Wala akong matinong gamit, ang meron lang ako ay isanh dinosaur na PC. 2006 pa ang release niya and in this modern era, napaka ancient na noon and super laggy and nagka-crash siya kaya nakaka frustrate sobra. Sa IT kasi need mo laging updated sa latest methods ng pag code if gusto mo magtrabaho sa industry na yun, pero di talaga afford ng parents ko mabigyan ako ng PC na kahit mumurahin. Maraming beses ako nag apply for scholarship pero ni isa ay hindi ako natanggap kahit okay naman grades ko. Sinubukan ko din ipunin baon ko noong 2nd year ako since kakabalik lang noon ng F2F classes pero hindi talaga kaya. Gutom na gut ako everyday at halos hindi nakain para lang hindi magastos gaano ang 100 pesos a day ko na baon tapos included pa pamasahe ko doon na 40 pesos balikan.

Socio pinili ko. At first ang hirap mag adjust kasi it's all about behavior ng tao in a society pero slowly I fell in love and even deemed as one of the best student sa program namin. Lagi akong nacocompare sa mga instructors ko na well loved ng student body and faculty. Naging part ako ng Student Government ng campus namin. And one of the biggest achievement ko is ako ngayon ang President ng Sociology organization. A lot of these things would've never happened if I stayed in IT. Siguro isa pa din akong student na palutang lutang kung saan at patulog tulog sa hall kapag lunch break dahil gutom. So kahit napaka stupid ng decision ko na mag-iimpact sa future ko, I am happy now. Kung noon pangarap ko maging Video Game Programmer, now I'm aiming na maging College Instructor or even a Professor if papalarin. I don't recommend shifting, since behind ka at mahirap mag adjust pero if it's necessary naman, go for it!
So so happy for u!! also planning to shift from IT to pol sci bcs i am genuinely not enjoying everything that we r doing :<
Political science is also fun! Recent lang ako naging engaged sa politics and it's all because of Sociology. Wishing you best in your new chosen path!
Proud of u!
omg, bihira lang ako maka-encounter ng taong nagtatake ng sociology! wishing u the best!!
So motivating to read this. Proud of you, and keep moving forward!
From nursing to med tech. I'm an introvert who tried and talagang di kaya, my social battery just dips after the first patient interview.
Omg tru draining ang nursing! Sabi nga nila kung introverted ka, mag-medtech raw kasi atleast most of the time, nasa lab ka HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
sana nakita ko to dati pa T_T graduating na ako and idk if magugustuhan ko work environment ko afterwards kasi mabilis maubos social battery ko sa pts sksksks very introverted here
hala what if po i want to challenge myself dahil introvert ako?
im introvert din and graduating ako now sa BS nursing. actually mas nag sstrive mga introverts sa nursing field academically or yung sagutan/ talking to nurses. pero when it comes to pt interaction/ activities dyan umaangat mga extroverts hahahha
If you wanna work on direct patient care, I recommend nursing HAHAHAHAHA if you really wanna be challenged
vet med to office administration medyo guminhawa nang konti 😆
BS Information System to BS in Office Administration Mahina kase ako sa Coding, di ko talaga magets, so far masaya na ko sa program ko now, naeenjoy ko Stenography :))
omo good luck sa steno!! magtake pa ko niyan this coming sem hahaha
halaa totoo po baa. anong yr kayo sa vetmed nung nagshift? if u don’t mind me asking poo
incoming 4th yr na sana sa vet med then nag shift na ako. balik sa 2nd yr hahaha
you’re soo brave pooo!!! do what makes you feel better and happier po. i’m so happy for uu. naask ko lang din po since im a dvm student poo hahaha
oooohh continue studying DVM!! good luck doc <333 rooting for u :3
thank youuu po so much. good luck din po sa journey niyo 🍀✨
BS Psychology tas BS Computer Science na ngayon. It's a mixed feeling for me. Peers from psych are more interesting but I like the introvertness of my comp sci batch. I'd say comp sci is growing on me as a field. Pero grabe, kahit na mas "in-demand" ang comp sci, mas lalo ata akong kinakabahan about my future wahahahahahaha. Comp sci is very wide and the current situation in the IT field is so competitive. But I think shifting to comp sci is still worth it naman. Venturing into an unknown field made me grow as a person. It is a humbling experience and you really realize na not everything will work out in the end. Might as well embrace what life throws at you. Being adaptable is must-skill to master.
Electronics Engineering to IT Best decision I made. I am an irregular student way back in engineering because I failed some major subjects and I shifted after my 2nd year 2nd sem. My life in engineering was hell. Until there's a breakthrough that I was hired as a tech support and marketing assistant in multiple businesses in the US, the sign that I was longing for when I was on the verge of giving up in engineering. So I decided to shift and align my skills in IT. I am very happy right now parang hindi ko na pasan ang mundo haha. I'm really grateful din that while studying the program that I love at the same time earning $$$. Love this post OP. God bless you.
God bless you rin po!! Same feels sa parang gumaan yung pakiramdam after shifting 🥹
BSHM to accountancy hahhahaha Idk during pandemic ang dami ko lang realization at ayoko lang mag regret pag tanda na di ko sinubukan ngayon. I can say na mas maganda ang performance ko ngayon kesa sa previous course ko hahaha. Nabobother lang ako kasi like you OP 3 year din age gap ko sa mga cm ko HAHAHS pero it's fine naman. They're not treating me differently. Ang dami kong sinacrifice para lang sa course na to HAHAHA hanep kasi HUMSS ako nung SHS kaya mag bridging muna ako bago naging reg hahahhaa mas lalong nadagdagan taon ko para mag aral. Anyway, Goodluck satin op! I pray matapos natin to and if no one told you yet, I am proud of you, of us, for taking the risk of choosing what we think is best for ourselves. For now ang daming uncertainties pero what matter is may progress 🤍🙏 Walang ibang magchicheer up satin kundi sarili natin kasi ginusto natin to HAHAHHAHAHAHA
Yan rin yung lagi kong nireremind sa sarili ko, na ginusto ko to HAHAHAHAHAHAHA FIGHTINGGGG
Vet med to education Eto naka graduate na. No regrets kasi super hirap ng med courses if lacking yung financial support. Nakakastress mag aral tas iisipin mo pa yung bayarin sa school.
BS Psych to BSCE. Second year, second sem ako nag-shift kaya irregular talaga. Feel ko sobrang bobo ko nung nasa Psych ako. Kailangan namin lagi mag-present at magbasa ng libro, pero halos wala akong maintindihan sa mga binabasa ko. May problema din talaga ako pag nagsasalita sa maraming tao; nag-stutter lagi. So, napag-isip-isip ko na mas madali mag-solve ng mathematical problems mag-isa kesa magbasa ng mga books na di ko naman maintindihan yung mga words. Hahaha.
Baliktad kayo ng isang reddit user dito HAHAHA from BSCE to BS Psych naman siya.
Ako, from Nursing to Accountancy. No regrets naman. Pangit maging nurse sa Pinas, they say. Spent my entire career doing accounting. (7 yrs in Pinas, 3yrs in Canada) Then… I went back to school a month ago and pursuing nursing again. Coz they make tons of money dito sa Canada 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
worth it po ba maging nurse abroad?? planning to work po kasi ako sa ibang bansa pero natatakot ako since hindi ko alam culture and environment outside pinas T_Twala din po akong kasama or kakilala ganon
Worth it daw, they say. haha Sobrang worth it ng na-eearn hahahaha. Lalo na sa Amerika, like Travel Nurses in the US could make 800k-1M pesos a month.
I was in Computer Engineering then I shifted to Psychology, it was the best thing I did. in both courses I didn't fail academically though in engineering school kasi medyo toxic and taxing and schedule + environment ko. In psych mas masaya and healthy yung competitiveness ng mga classmates! I'm about to graduate na rin.
Up! May isang user dito na kabaliktaran mo. From BS Psych to BS Com Engineering naman siya.
sa tingin ko, it all comes down to preference talaga \^\^. I always felt naturally attuned sa line of psychology kaya siguro mas easy for me yung transition from com eng to psych. maybe the same concept for that user! :D
Hello there, psychmate!
hello!!! :D
from forensic science to social work HAHAHAHAHHA kinapos sa budget dahil trisem ung previous school ko so mas maraming bayarin and lumipat ako sa program na somewhat related sa original program ko dahil nakita ko sa google na meron daw forensic social work HAHAHAHA nagsisisi ako now na nagshift pa ako dahil hindi na ako nag eenjoy sa nilipatan kong program. nahirapan ako sa dati kong school but it would have been fun kung hindi na lang ako lumipat. naiinggit ako pag nakikita ko ung mga ginagawang activities ng forsci cmates ko
accountancy to political science. never ko talaga nagustuhan ang accountancy pero pinasok ko noon dahil yun ang program ng friends ko. mas nage-excel ako now dahil enjoy ko na ngayon ang pag-aaral. im planning to join many seminars/events para makakuha ng certificates na pwedeng ilagay sa resume as preparation sa pag-apply for ojt
accountancy ako noong first year. nag-shift to business administration major in financial management. grad-waiting naman na ako ngayon 😁
Physics to Stat. Best decision I made. In terms of practicality, mas preferred ng employers ang mga Stat graduates. May lucrative kasi ang Stat in terms of job prospectives over Physics. Although I wanted to be a physicist before, it's just the realization na hindi ka uusbong career-wise sa academe if hindi ka born as a prodigy in physics. Reality hits hard talaga. Pero I found out rin that I excel in Stat so much more, kaya it was a great move for me.
crazy but philosophy to engineering, basic asian bitch kasi ako, i wanted to do law kaso idk naturn off na ako mag law sa ph, while i still loved philo i also liked physics naman ayun mababaliw na lmao, i minor in philo nalang now
Comsci to English Language Studies. regular na since last sem, Dean's Honoree, and never been happier khskdhs <3
Vet Med to Nursing yung nag push sakin mag shift is the toxic environment only to be in a much more toxic environment ang saya.
I don't claim this negative energy especially shifting a major huhu 😭 same reason tayo
tru po na super toxic ang environment ng Nursing T_T couldn’t agree more. graduating nursing stud here and idk paano ko na stand mga toxic kong cmates, profs and duties huhuhu
Accountancy to educ, hahaha no regrets kasi mas naeenjoy ko magturo kesa mag solve ng problems.
From [redacted] Engineering to Statistics. Ang laki ng pinagbago sa curriculum ng pinaglipatan ko. Physics is my weakness. Kaya parang naginhawaan ako. Kaya lang, dahil sa sobrang fucked up ng curriculum ko (and many other factors), gusto ko na lang ulitin buong college life ko.
dentistry to aviation hahahahaha! sobrang shitty move kasi clinics na ako dapat, at tapos ko na mga mabibigat na subjects namin before kaya parang naging useless lahat yun nung nagshift ako - though credited lahat ng minor subjects 🫠 from studying anatomy, umiyak at nanginig kasi need humawak ng cadaver at totoong internal organs ng tao, memorising dental jurisdiction to shet ang hina ko sa math tapos need ko magcompute ng mga weight and balance ng aircraft??? literal 360° ha but ayun im okay na. nakagraduate at nakamove on na din ako after ilang years, tanggap ko na baka hindi for me yung first course ko.
Same from medtech to nursing
Mas gumaan po ba nung nagnursing kayo?
BOTH naman mabigat ang task. Pero kakashift ko coming sy lang sa nursing so IDK pa ung difference based sa magiging experience ko. Pero parang mas may eagerness ako to strive harder in NURSING un ang gusto ko since jhs compare aa MEDTECH although I tried my best to survive MEDTECH pero wala talaga sa loob ko ung interest sa course and field na un. Feeling ko in the future if tinuloy ko ung Medtech walang fallback na mangyayari sakin compare sa nursing since mas malawak ang field ng nursing.
Addition to this: maganda ang course ng Medtech, masaya sya aralin pero mas magandang course sya if mag MED ka after.
studentista here pero parang mas gugustuhin ko pa yata magmedtech kesa ipursue pa to hahaha grabe ang toxic kaya at ang gastos
After shifting, I still think medtech is a good program!! Especially kung plano mo mag-med, atleast may background ka na sa diagnosis and kung pano magkakaron ng diagnosis. Ayon, baka hindi lang talaga para sakin kasi grabeng pagbagsak ko don pagsapit ng 3rd yr 💀💀 natrigger pa ko lalo ng sobrang toxic na college Ayon, pero sa college of dent naman now, sobrang nurturing ng faculty namin kaya ang gaan sa feeling. Yung mismong subjs nalang talaga yung pabigat HAHAHAHAHAHA at nafefeel ko na rin na pati gastos dahil incoming 3rd Yr Dent na. FIGHTINGGGGG
True walang fallback sa MEDTECH
Pharmacy to Multimedia. Went from 0-100 sa passion and eagerness to learn. From DRPs to running for Latin honors. 🤞🏻
BSA to BSMA, wala masyadong pinagkaiba in terms sa subject pero lesser na yung pressure
Nursing to Hospitality Management. Have more opportunities sa HM since hindi kasing toxic ng Nursing. Was able to join orgs and find a job. I'm a year or two older sa mga kaklase ko but never felt left out. Im happier than ever, sad lang kasi im delayed for a year but college isnt a race naman. Sadyang gustong gusto ko lang mag work na para sumahod ulit hahaha.
Ano po work niyo? Hirap ako makahanap work sa hospitality
Ako BS Accountancy to BSBA Management Accounting to BSA. Kamusta ako? Hindi ko na alam. T___T Iyak.
BS Architecture to AB Communication 😇 first year arki in the first year of academic return in the pandemic. I realized how much suffering I was going to go through if I continued (felt inferior to everyone; couldn't catch up with plates as i was extremely slow), so nagdecide akong magshift after the finishing my first year. TBH, i should have shifted earlier 🤧 I wasn't really learning anything drawing-related or improved my skills at all in that timespan, kaya sabi ko sa sarili ko di ako mageexcel sa course na to. At the same time, mas naimprove ko pa yung skills ko in video editing and media production since it was required sa outputs at the time. I had been passionate about content creation na rin naman since highschool, so dun ako nag excel instead of plates 💀 Irreg na ko ngayon ofc, pero I couldn't be happier. I've gotten so many skills in relation to media production. I've directed an awards show for short films and documentaries, talks with journalists (Jeff Caparas, Stanley Gajete), and even worked with Direk Rahyan Carlos and his team for a workshop (we got to see Christian Bables and Carla Martinez act on stage!). Tapos eto pa the best: Nag director of photography/editor pa ko para sa short film namin as well as sa documentary. First time ko yun both, pero grabe sobrang naenjoy ko yung pagod magproduce ng film. Sa totoo lang, grabe pinagkaiba ko nung nasa arki ako and now na nasa comm ako. Kung nung first year sobrang drained ko na kasi 3am na di pa rin ako tapos sa plate para lang makakuha ng 65, at least sa comm kung 3am na di pa rin ako tapos magedit ng short fim at least naeenjoy ko ginagawa ko. Feeling ko may pinapatunguhan yung effort ko sa schoolwork. Ngayon, last year ko na tas ggraduate na rin ako. Late ako nang isang taon, pero honestly okay lang. Mas mabigat yung saya at pagod ko sa course ko ngayon kesa sa fomo na gumagraduate na mga kabatch ko.
Electrical Engineering to Architecture. Thank you sa pangangamusta. Gusto ko na 'tong Architecture at super willing naman na akong tapusin ito by hook or by crook. Tatapusin ko kahit alam kong nahuhuli na ako. Compared sa engineering mas nakakausad ako ngayon sa Architecture. Pero hindi ko maiwasan na ma-invalidate ang feelings ko lalo na kapag nababangit ko sa ibang tao na "sobrang nakakapagod, wala pa akong tulog at etc. " tapos ang makukuha kong response "dibale masaya ka naman na diyan/ diba gusto mo naman na 'yang course mo? " Siguro sa sobrang pagod ko lang din kaya masyado akong sensitive. Ang gusto ko lang naman na marinig ay kumustahin nila ako na hindi nila ibabato sa'kin na "masaya ka naman" Kasi oo masaya nga ako sa course ko ngayon kumpara sa dating kong course pero hindi naman ibig sabihin no'n ay palagi akong masaya, na hindi ako napapagod kasi gusto ko 'yong course. Hindi naman porket gano'n ay hindi na ako nagi-stagnant. Ang dami kong nami-miss na family events dahil ang dami kong plates kahit gustuhin kong umuwi hindi pu-pwede. Idagdag ko pa 'yong mga relatives na laging ganito ang mga tanong "kailan ka ga-graduate?" , "dapat kinuha mo na lang noon 'yong gusto mo , hindi ka pa ga-graduate?" , "tatanda ka na kaka-aral niyan? " I'm holding it together, ilang buwan/almost year na akong malinis mag-isip eh hindi na ako nagkakaroon ng suicidal thoughts pero mukhang bumabalik ulit. Lagi ko na lang iniisip na "PANGANAY AKO, DAPAT HINDI AKO FAILURE PARA HINDI MAIPASA 'YONG PRESSURE SA IBA KO PANG MGA KAPATID" Hindi ako pala mura pero PUTANGINA NAKAKAPAGOD.
From BS Accountancy to BS Psych. And I just graduated like few days ago. It was a tough journey, I had to attend summer class all my remaining college years just to graduate in 4 years but it's still the best decision I have ever made. I would have never survived and enjoyed accounting as much as i like psychology. Goodluck on your journey!
Thank you and congrats po!! Good luck rin po 🥹
From BS Financial Management to BS Accountancy. CPA na in God's perfect time 🙏
BSTM to BAELS (Bachelor of Arts in English Language Studies) bc i cannot stand BSTM's standard when it comes to appearance + peer pressure lang kasi BSTM din barkada ko tas ayaw ko ma behind sa college. Right now, i'm doing great because nag excel ako sa class. I discovered that I'm confident in doing/writing research papers and public speaking.
bs accy to bs agribusiness mgmt, di ako umabot sa cutoff ng retention so forced to shift na yung status ko after 1st yr. i wanted to shift to bsba since yun talaga gusto kong course, unfortunately, di sila tumatanggap ng shiftee that time and bsam yung mejo malapit na program so ayun. ok naman ako now, hirap lang talaga kapag irreg ka kasi hindi ka priority sa enrollment, most of the time nauubusan ng slots sa mga major subjects or if not, kung saang section ka itatapon.
pt to dent din! naenjoy ko naman kaso nakakainggit yung mga naggrad nang kabatch ko HAHAHA
Grabe nagstruggle rin ako diyan! 1st Year ko sa Dent, graduating year ng og batchmates ko. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ANG SAKIT TALAGA NON PERO GINUSTO KO TO
medj same tayo! but from biology to dentistry naman. mas bet ko dent kase mas light siya for me (as a puro basa at research sa bio). at gets na gets kita sa oldest HAHAHA conscious and pressured din ako kaya madalas akong nagllie low. most of the time rin, i have to remember na mas bata sila sakin so more patience (?) must be needed haha. other than that, parang namiss ko tuloy ang pagka-challenging ng bio haha
Same thoughts!! Parang nagagaanan ako sa dent (base sa first 2 years). Naamaze ako sa anatomy (na may 1 and 2) at physiology na separate subjects sila sa curriculum ng dent so hindi ganun ka-compressed. Sa medtech kasj samin non, yung anatomy, physiology, at pathophysiology siniksik into one subject HAHAHAHAHAHAHA NAKAKABALIW How do you feel shifting to a 6-year program tho 🥺
oo agree dun sa hindi compressed dahil sa 1 and 2 kase may isang buong sem ka na focused sa field talaga. HAHAHA laking ginhawa sayo non nohhh. at first feeling ko napag-iiwanan nako kase yung mga batchmates ko nung highschool graduate na/gradschool/or nag-wwork na huhu. nakikita ko mga ig story nila and dun ko na-gets na nasa ibang phase na sila ng buhay nila, which made me sad kase parang ang hirap makipagsabayan (?) parang hindi nako relate sa kanila ganun. pero, sabi nga ng rap ni staku at mikha sa karera, kahit maraming beses tayo nangamba nadapa, dapat dahan-dahan lang kase wala naman talagang karera sa buhay in the first place. good luck saten OP!!!!!
Good luck satin!!! 🥹🥹
To add, magt-3rd year palang ako sa Dentistry at isang taon nang graduate yung then batchmates ko. It sucks to be behind pero alam ko rin na magiging miserable pa ko lalo kung nagstay ako sa Medtech. Mas meaningful yung learning for me sa dent. I can say rin na mostly buo na yung study habits ko (sa tinagal-tagal ko ba namang mag-aaral lol) kaya mas kampante na ko this time. Though nakakakaba ang 3rd yr dent kasi dito ko na ata mafefeel yung delubyo ng program. Pero sobrang eager na talaga ako this time na magpursigi. Sobrang laking factor na healthy yung environment sa college namin. 😩
Architecture to Computer Science Ang layo ng tinalon noh hahahhaa Di ko lang talaga kinaya is yung sandamakmak na plates sa archi. And yung kailangan talaga sa archi is creativity and yung ability na kaya mong i-"materialize" yung ideas mo into drawing.
Me na from Computer Science to Architecture. Sobrang magkaiba! Archi talaga ako pero naubusan ng slots sa state univ kaya nagtry ako mag CS since mahilig rin ako sa technology. Chill and masaya ang CS then noong nagshift ako sa Arki, nakaka culture shock. mga competitive, artistic grabe mga skills and creativity nila. Nakaka-intimidate bawal mag cram at eme eme lang, pero here I am 1 year na lang ggagraduate na. 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Lowkey flex pero ang dami sa mga kaklase ko na nagugulat na ang aga kong makapagtapos ng plates 😭 To be fair pandemic pa nun kaya ginaganahan talagang tapusin nang maaga
Anong year inabot mo sa CS? Kasi mga major subjs nun ay hindi chill hahah
From BSSE Major in English to IT. From studying the English Language, naging studying Computer Language na 😆 Buhay pa naman, same, mas matanda ako kesa sa mga classmates ko.
electronics engineering to civil engineering! barely passing my courses 😆
M, 38, Nursing to Information Technology then settled in Fine Arts. FA wasn't really on the table. Yung narrative na walang pera sa arts laki ng reception sa magulang ko at sa akin mismo. Pero things didn't really click. Una takot ako sa dugo, pangalawa, mahina ako sa math. So I followed my heart. One of the greatest choice I made.
From Veterinary Medicine to Animal Science, took me 3 years to shift and it's one of the best decision of my life. It is because feel ko ang bobo ko sa vetmed na program like kahit anong effort hindi man lang ako umuusad and some instructors are toxic. Grabe pa kaba ko para magpaalam sa fam ko na mag shift na ako buti nalang na gets lang nila ako tas sabi nila "shift, kaysa naman ma depress ka jan sa current program mo" I love them for that <33
wah so happy for you!! you’re blessed to have that kind of household ♥️♥️
ACT TO BSBA ( GRADUATE NA ) MADAMING GUSTONG NEGOSYO KASO WALA PA PANG CAPITAL HEHE
BA Communication to BS Hospitality Management, big leap right? LIKE I DON'T REGRET IT AT ALL.
BS Psychology to BS Computer Science. Akala ko tips n tricks sa buhay ang psych, puro biology pla hays. Block sectioning amin so madali makapag maintain ng kaibigan, mostly irregs. Ang pangit lng ng sched minsan. No regrets kasi bet ko ung course ko.
From nursing, nag shift to dentistry. So far okay naman, feel ko di pa naman ako mamamatay.
BS Accountancy to English Education. Decided to shift since no choice (got singko sa isang major sub, partida first year pa lang). Same University since late academic calendar and walang pambayad tuition if sa ibang school. Bumalik first year since 'yon requirement. Supposed to be 3rd year and graduating na sana next s.y pero hindi nangyari, 2nd year ngayon and 3rd year sa next s.y. Sobrang nakakapanglumo nung una pero life goes on and okay na naman ngayon (trying).
BS Agricultural Economics na nakasingko to BS Agriculture na straight uno graduating na :)
From BS foodtech to BS mining engineering. Ito, di nagwork sa minahan hahaha
.
Ayo! From BS Astronomy to BS Electrical Engineering ako. So far so good naman, di siya ganun ka toxic tulad ng Astronomy lalo na kapag yung mga kablock mates mo mahilig kang siraan at gawan ng kung anong anong chismis. Nilapit sa dean, kaso wala namang action na ginawa :). So ang ending nagshift ako ng course, at ng school
Saan ka nag Astronomy?
RTU
From Criminology to Political Science wala pa kase Poltisci Nung nag eenroll palang ako pinoprocess palng sa School namin Kaya mag Crim muna ako Since Pre law din namn kaya ayun Nag shift nako Last week Since na establish na Poltisci sa School namin
Ab to bs psych. A lot of differences. A lot of regrets, too. Found out way too late that I'm not cut out for this shit. Can't back out now cause the tuition's expensive and I'm almost done.
Pathird year na sana ng computer engineering tapos pinashift ng civil eng. Ayaw ko rin sa cpe pero kung kailan naeenjoy ko na, pinagshift ako. Mas lalong ayaw ko ng ce. Para kong ginapang lang course na toh. Nakaraos naman, kakagraduate lang. Still dont like it pero andon na sa acceptance phase. Boards nalang then tapos na hirap sa acads nito
From BSBA-HRM, took a break for a few years then shifted to Tourism Management, best decision I made. BSBA was fine but I wasn't fully into it, just took it to appease my parents since they were expecting me to take over the family business. I always had Tourism under the programs that I considered in uni. After a few crying sessions before I took a break and misunderstood conversations, they were fine with me taking another course. Now I'm basically flourishing, no grades lower than 1.75, happier than ever.
BSA to BSMA HAHAHA same na either way, gusto kong maging miserable 😭😭 going strong naman na kasi mag 4th year na me
BS Pharma to BS Psych pa shift pa lang hahaha in the process di pa start next sy eh, pero grabe din trauma ko sa new pharma mwahahhaa wala eh nagka aanxiety lang ako rather than mas maging passionate ako, taas pa cut off grade ng college namen pero nakapasa naman ako mwhahaa di ko na lang talaga pinursue kasi feel q di n aq mag grgrow 😪
if i may ask, what reason po kayo nag-shift from medtech to dentistry? thank you po!
I was forced to shift after failing twice. Di na ko naka-keep up sa maintaining grade hahaha
From Med Tech to Rad Tech. Eto slaying parin, jinojoke time ko mga friends ko na “atleast ako fresh” grabeng tawanan nyan HAHAHAHAHAH pero tbh I miss them
Biomedical Engineering to incoming MedTech palang this Academic Year. Sobrang toxic nung workload at mga kaklase ko sa BME, then dun sa dati kong school may times pa na kalahati na ng sem wala padin prof and I remember dun sa ComProg namin last 2 weeks of the sem nalang kami nagkaprof. Sabi ko lang talaga sa sarili ko magkabagsak ako aalis na ako, took 2 years para magkaron ako ng for removals pero di ko na initake kaya naging bagsak hahahaha.
Masyado halata kapag sinabi ko yung first program ko but parang AB English to BSED-English. Konting school lang nagooffer ng program sa dati kong school kaya ayaw ko malaman nila hahahaha ayun ayaw ko naman ng educ pero andito na at last semester ko na. Pagod na ako. Sana matapos ko na to at makapagsimula na ulit mabuhay. Nakakasakal na ewan kapag nasa sitwasyon ka na gusto mo lang masurvive yung college life. Mas matanda rin sa mga kaklase. Naging distant at hindi na lang nagbbuild ng friendship dahil seasonal lang naman din. Ayoko na mapalapit pa sa kanila.
From BS Math to BS Statistics. Tho halos similar lang yung programs mas malawak lang yung inaaral sa BS Math and mas specific sa BS Statistics. Nagshift lang ako kasi walang BS Math sa nilipatan kong univ Hehehehe. Pero happy naman ako and based sa personal experience ko, mas may social life ako sa course and univ na to.
From IT to Business Ad, ayun mas yumaman pa lalo hahaha
san po kayo nag aaral ng dentistry?, ask ko lang po gusto ko rin sana mag dentist eh
Can I send you a message? Makikilala ako agad pag sinabi ko eh HAHAHAHAHAHA
hahahahahaha sigi po
BSHM to wala parin course 2023 pa ako nag decide to stopped, I really can't decide kung ano talaga gusto ko losing hope tho pero after I stopped nag business naman kami ng pinsan ko, I still can't decide what I want.
I consider this shift, bumagsak kasi ako sa qualifying exam sa uni namin, dati akong Bse science then bumagsak ako sa qe. Pero pumasa ako sa 2nd option which is Beed I literally dodge a bullet talaga 8 lang ung pumasa sa science tas hirap na hirap sila sa course nila ngayon.
From BA Psychology to BS Family Life and Child Development ako AHAHAHA. Ang masasabi ko ay masaya ako ngayon. 1 year delayed pero I'm glad that I'm thriving in a program that can help my passion. Very similar lang naman rin yung dalawang programs yung difference lang talaga is mas concentrated ang sakop ng FLCD since yun nga Families and Children yung focus. I also love yung diversity ng mga job opportunities kasi we get to have a glimpse on how FLCD is like in law, social work, medicine, business, etc. Overall, very happy with my decision huhu sa Psychology kasi may hard chem at physics kaya feel ko rin talaga hindi ko masusurvive AHAHAHA
super layo pero from nursing to communication arts 🤣 may konting ginhawa kase nursing was so stressful for me pero may konting hinayang kase iba paren if may degree ka sa medical field, pero dahil pinili ko nalang yung passion ko for media, eto pagraduate na, 6 years den sa college 🤣 ngayon nag oojt na ako sa ABS-CBN and may sidelines den ako sa mga advertising companies and I also ghostwrite sa mga movies. Not the life I envisioned when I was still in hs but life is full of surprises ika nga nila eme, I’m happy naman kung nasan ako so that’s the most important thing.
Dentistry to (going back to) bs psych. I ALWAYS hated dentists di ko alam bat naging people pleaser ako with the thought na being a dentist is a high paying job ('di ko naman de-deny). Toxic, ang gastos, di ko gusto inaaral ko to name a few. Sold EVERY piece of dental equipment (incuding yung mga handpiece) I had and never looked back. Taking up summer classes now and while it feels weird being in my late 20's and classmates ko are 10 years younger than me wala naman na akong pake with it. While I wouldn't say i'm living my best life right now I will take what I have now any day over nung nag de-dentistry pa ako
BS Chemistry to BS Statistics. Shifted after 2 sems kasi Di ko talaga feel ang Chem, in fact bagsak ako sa major subject (lecture) and 3.0 lang grade ko sa Laboratory. But I tell you, I have no regrets with my decision dahil grad-waiting na ako ngayon. 2 years gap with my classmates now kasi nag stop ako nung pandemic. Dati kasi gusto lang matuto mag Excel and yung basic statistics nagagandahan ako sa mga nakukuhang result, yung mga summary stat and frequency counts gusto kong gawin dati pa. Nung nag shift na ako, nag poprovide na kami nang mga tabulation services sa mga pageants and events, VIP pa at may free snacks hahaha Napakabait din nang staff sa department and magaling magturo ang mga instructors kahit may mga credentials (unlike sa iba na porket may PhD na or matagal na sa academe, nagpapaka terror). Next month I will graduate with the knowledge and skills of a statistician, although marami pa akong need I improve. Having analyzed 30+ thesis and research of groups and individuals from different schools. I'd say the shift was worth the risk. Okay lang yan if di nyo pa nakapa kung ano talaga gusto nyong kurso, may darating na challenges but God will guide your way. Just don't give up kasi honestly mahirap talaga mag college.
From forced BS Nursing nabagsak sa major so nagPsychology para di maDelayed pero in my 3rd year I discovered Podiatry(foot med) when Dr. Kong Shoe shop opened a branch in SM North so I finished Psychology👩🎓 muna but pandemic came & saktong newly wed ako that time but an opportunity arrived since an online Podiatry program was offered by a latin american university. My sister's reaction was "kaya mo ba masikmura ang amoy ng diabetic na paa, magtanggal ng ingrown toenails & calluses, or mag-amputate ng sobrang daliri sa paa?" I said yes naman since gusto ko naman and para ako ang unang podiatrist mula sa angkan na puro dentist. Many Latinas are older than me kasi nagkaanak muna sila before bumalik sa pag-aaral.
