How has your life changed since starting college?

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.

From my daily arguments with dad to missing him.

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.

What are you struggling with in your life? What would you like to have instead?

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 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.

I found amazing mentors in my professors.
