How has your life changed since starting college?

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

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

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.

How or where can I get any kind of books online for free?

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.

Confidence is the key.

Note- You can skip to the main part.

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

I found amazing mentors in my professors.

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

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

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.

Why do US military soldiers/officers have a chest full of medal ribbons when they probably haven't been in a combat situation? Are the medals for attendance, good behaviour, or long service perhaps?

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

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.

Let’s come to the 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.

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

From watching news at breakfast- to sharing news on calls
