How has your life changed since starting college?

From eating freshly cooked, hot and healthy food prepared by mom with love and care to eating pg’s carelessly made tasteless food.

In PG, I met 5 other girls from my classroom, and from the start, I kept my expectations low and was sure that I did not fit in with them, so I kept my distance, and my only connection in college was my roommate at that time.She advised me multiple times to hang out with that group. I made it clear to her that it was not right for my well-being to spend time with people with whom I feel uncomfortable.

I found amazing mentors in my professors.

How do I stop having work crushes because I only keep getting disappointed almost every day as I keep seeing they don’t like me back and won’t ever ask me out?

How has your life changed since starting college?

I am happy I found them, but the scared half of me always reminds me to be ready for heartbreaks, and I don't expect much.

For example, many of my collegemates didn’t know what UGC was. The girl who was my senior and was sitting beside me didn’t know that Guide is written by R.K. Narayan. She was going to tick Chetan Bhagat as the answer before I stopped her.

What song are you listening to right now? What does it mean to you?

From fighting with sister on small things to fighting on calls/texting.

Confidence is the key.

My roommate soon understood this and stopped hanging out with them before it was too late.Now I have a trio: myself, my roommate, and one of the five girls-who faced the same situation as us.Our vibes matched.

From being at home 24*7 to going home for a few days in 2–3 months.

Backstory-

I’ve become more responsible.

Why don't people like Nickelback?

It will be a year since I started college, so I thought I should share my experience with you.

Going away from that place was my only wish at that time.I had no exposure to the outside world and I knew if I continued my further studies there, I would gain nothing.

I lacked friends in 12th class,I didn’t understand a single thing those teachers were teaching and used youtube and educational subscriptions for learning.

Why do some people refuse to explain their actions or behavior when asked? Why do they claim to not know the reason instead of providing an explanation?

From watching news at breakfast- to sharing news on calls

In 12th, I struggled to focus on my studies.I didn’t want to take the science stream but had to and wasn’t doing well. As if it wasn’t enough my father transferred to some other city and I was not happy with it.

If the world was flat, would it be possible to see Mount Everest if it was on the other side of the Earth on a clear sunny day?

The fact that groups break up after the first year is correct.

I witnessed people with no understanding becoming successful simply because they were confident enough to stand on stage and perform.They arrived, performed, and it was finished. Their performance was not that good; it could have been better, yet people applauded as if it were the best.

I have never stayed away from home before this but now I live in a pg with the worst management, manage my own chores, and travel alone.

What were some things that the ancient Greeks excelled at compared to the Romans?

All I meant to say is that if you are fully skilled, know everything, and still have no confidence, You will be considered nothing, but if you have confidence, people will see it as a plus, and this will provide a better opportunity for the future.

I felt frustrated, occasionally venting at my family and used to have panic attacks.

Now, I am living 300km away from my family.I miss them.

I've never read the book. What did Dorian Grey do that was so immoral and sinful?

I still have doubts about myself, have a lot to work on my personality and need to work hard. I will keep trying to see positivity around me and I wish you would do the same.

In college, I met many people who were faking behaviors in order to look cool, and they still do. This 'pick me' behavior irritates me the most.

Why am I sweating so much when I try to do anything?

Note- You can skip to the main part.

I met a lot of fake people and learned how to deal with them.

Thanks for reading my answer.

I have huge respect for their knowledge and dedication to teaching.I consider myself lucky to be able to learn from such experts in their respective fields.

I’ve realized the real value of money.

From bothering mom 24/7 to videocalling mom and describing how my day went.

There are many students who can’t go home frequently because of issues like long distance, travelling issues etc..I can feel their pain.

Let’s come to the answer.

Many people used to believe that I would not be able to do so, but I did.

From my daily arguments with dad to missing him.
