How has your life changed since starting college?

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

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

From watching news at breakfast- to sharing news on calls

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

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’ve realized the real value of money.

When do you feel most peaceful ever?

From my daily arguments with dad to missing him.

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.

Thanks for reading my answer.

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.

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

Why do narcissists and especially covert narcissists always play the victim?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

I found amazing mentors in my professors.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Do intellectuals who peddle pseudoscientific tripe like simulation theory ever stop and think they are just dumb NPCs for Illuminati bot wars?

I’ve become more responsible.

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.
