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 found amazing mentors in my professors.
Backstory-
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.

Let’s come to the answer.
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.
I felt frustrated, occasionally venting at my family and used to have panic attacks.
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.

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.
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.
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.

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

Now, I am living 300km away from my family.I miss them.
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.
Thanks for reading my answer.
I’ve realized the real value of money.
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 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 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.
