Most of us spend our free time on social media such as Twitter, YouTube, and the ever-popular TikTok. At this point, we can probably pinpoint and name a few people we can consider our faves. Many of them have even resorted to becoming a full-time content creator on these platforms. But beyond their funny, relatable tweets and amusing TikToks, these internet personalities have aspired to acquire a hard-earned college diploma.Â
Macoy Dubs

Before committing to his new career path, he took up BS Pharmacy at Our Lady of Fatima - Quezon City and worked as a licensed pharmacist for Department of Health for five years.
Frankie Pangilinan
Frankie went to New York for college. While schools abroad most often won’t require you to declare a major immediately upon entering college, Frankie shares that she chose to major in Literature. ICYDK, she's also a writer and has a dedicated Twitter account for all her written works.
Rain Matienzo

Mimiyuuuh
Mimiyuuuh is known for popularizing the "It Really Hurts" TikTok challenge, among other iconic trends.

Inka Magnaye
Voice-over artist Inka Magnaye got real about ~not~ having a college diploma. "I had to work VERY hard to get to where I am in my own industry," she shares in a series of tweets. "School isn’t everything, yes. But if you have the means to finish school, then PLEASE STAY IN SCHOOL."
