Are most people really better than me?

Okay, so my parents sent me to Kindergarten a year late. My birthday's on the 3rd of October, and I should have gone in 1999, when I was almost 5, but instead I went in 2000, when I was almost 6. By the time I realized what they had done, it was too late of course. I was doomed to 13 years of being a year behind. As high school was coming to an end, I was getting excited. I was going to go to a 4-year-college to get a Bachelor's Degree. My parents always brag about how smart they are, and say it's because they went to college. I thought that if I went to university and got a Bachelor's Degree, I would finally accomplish something that most people didn't. In 2012, most kids my age had their high school diploma, while I still had another year to go. But I was thinking "In 5 years, I'll have a Bachelor's Degree and they won't".

I'm now in my sophomore year of college, and I've been checking on all my friends from high school. The vast majority of them are doing exactly what I'm doing. Not only are they getting a Bachelor's Degrees, they're getting it 4 years after they graduated high schooll. The people who got their high school diplomas a year before me are also getting their Bachelor's Degrees a year before me. No one seems on the verge of having to drop out or take an extra year. I ask my current college friends if it's a different story with their former high school friends and it's not. What's going on? Statistics say most people don't have a Bachelor's Degree.
