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.

    Avoid frats if you can help it based on the horror stories associated with them.

      I read a while ago someone who said Frats are for people who think they’ll make social connections for future business.

      While people who actually make connections for future business is joining business related clubs and extracuriculars.

        …Social connections for future business.

        • What business would want to associate with groups who spend most of their time getting shitfaced, destroying property, (they typically don’t own their frat houses), and in the worst case whose hazing rituals have resulted in deaths?
