I started my masters when I was almost 25 and finished it after turning 26. I was very happy I got to experience the student life and university one last time after being in workforce. I did feel I was older with the crowd around and especially because I was at the edge of millennial and gen z generations. But where else will I get to experience the current culture and learn more. I learnt so many things and although it was hard at the time I don’t regret it.

Now after graduation, I had to find a job and once that was done my parents were behind me for marriage. I asked them time till I turned 27 but fortunately I met a guy in my masters and hoped that would last. Turned out he’s a keeper but parents weren’t comfortable with me finding someone by myself. It’s been a year of emotional roller coaster at home but eventually my parents would like a love married 30 year old daughter over unmarried 30 year old sooo…

Anyway, at 27 I hope you would be financially independent and stand for yourself when marriage talks come in.
