props to them for finally graduating! i'm guessing you haven't, or you wouldn't be surprised to hear it took 9 years to graduate. i started college over 9 yrs ago and still haven't graduated, and i know folks older than me who are still working on their degrees.
higher education ain't cheap, and it can have a lot of stops & starts as you get older and have to balance work, life, family, AND school. and that can be further complicated by mental or physical health issues. you might even need/want to get an entirely different degree when you're already several years into your current degree.
economic/political upheaval can also knock you off track as the effects ripple out. and like the AYRT mentioned: we're like 2.5 years into a pandemic that's disrupted fucking... everything. they might've just needed a fucking break.
the raffle isn't shady, but OP kinda is for their weirdly judgemental comment. let them "fish for compliments" lol they deserve it
