There are many students who can’t go home frequently because of issues like long distance, travelling issues etc..I can feel their pain.
Many people used to believe that I would not be able to do so, but I did.
I felt frustrated, occasionally venting at my family and used to have panic attacks.

From watching news at breakfast- to sharing news on calls
The fact that groups break up after the first year is correct.
From fighting with sister on small things to fighting on calls/texting.
From being at home 24*7 to going home for a few days in 2–3 months.
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.

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.
What is your biggest mistake or regret?
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 found amazing mentors in my professors.

Thanks for reading my 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 met a lot of fake people and learned how to deal with them.
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 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.

Note- You can skip to the main part.
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.
Let’s come to the answer.
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.
