So long story short, I essentially spend the last 1.5 years rotting at home in bed oscillating from mild to heavy depression, though abt 7months of them was intense studies before I burned out. But anyway I went to a college today, a decent one not amazing, just whatever I got, just to get a look. It starts next week. And to find places to live in a different city (though its only about 100kms apart from my home).
And yeah I am kinda scared now idk. I do not really have any meaningful friends or something or a mentor to ask advice, so well I would like to hear your stories! Or any tips? I am kinda introverted, well not kinda quite a bit. But I wont say I am under-confident, I do not have trouble talking to people or something, mostly I just find hard to relate with them. Even today I tried striking some casual convos but seniors have some attitude towards freshers i guess, and freshers were too busy completing their docs maybe.
It helped me so much after I realized this. It’s a really good way to learn discipline. I have worked 35 hours before for 2 years, so it wasn’t too hard to get used to it.
I know so many people that started out with a super relaxed life style, smoking pot, partying and enjoying their student life, only to realize after 3 years they fucked up. Many of them are still studying, while I have graduated 6 years ago now.
I still had to job for financing my student life, so 8 hours a day was no realistic, but I gave my best.
