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.

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.

Confidence is the key.

I’ve become more responsible.

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

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.

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.

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

I found amazing mentors in my professors.

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.

Let’s come to the answer.

What are you wearing under your clothes today?

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

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.
