How has your life changed since starting college?

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.

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.

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.

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

My roommate soon understood this and stopped hanging out with them before it was too late.Now I have a trio: myself, my roommate, and one of the five girls-who faced the same situation as us.Our vibes matched.

Many people used to believe that I would not be able to do so, but I did.

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.
