LifeStyle & Social

"Focus on acads in the first year, get a 9-ish; after that, getting it up is way too difficult. Choose a certain council/IB and stick with it. Choose NSS — gives a resume point and you meet people. Love is part of your life, not your entire life. Make new friends even if you already have a large group."

"Please do not try to explore everything. Rather, make a list of things in priority order and focus on what you can do given your limited time. Trust me, these 4 years fly away so fast once the semester begins and you're not prepared for the rush each one brings. Network as much as you can, build and value friendships, family, and relationships. Most important of all — please care for yourself throughout this journey mentally and physically."

"Work hard, you'll get everything you deserve. Keep your chin up — you are no less than anyone else. People will look intimidatingly more qualified than you. Do not let that deter you from trying out things, putting yourself out there, and treating yourself with love and respect. Explore — it's the best antidote to ignorance."

"Fill the resource constraint form and go to campus ASAP. You deserve it, and more importantly, you need it. Attend classes offline, and don't hesitate to ask questions from professors or engage in discussions. You are smarter than you think you are."

"Be brave and stay strong. Things will eventually get better. You will find a way to deal with your life and the mess it has become. Be more strategic. Don't fall for everything everyone says. Not every classmate is your friend. Have boundaries. You can do it."

"Everything will fall in place, continue being who you are. There is so much to do in life — don't stress yourself out on little things like assignments or coding tests when they go wrong. Enjoy every moment! I know you will, because you did :)"

"Do more, man. Put in more work in academics — you are really smart, just that you don't know it. And don't waste your first year not interacting with people. Become a madlad — work hard, party harder."

"Meet more people. Never say no to any social activity where you can meet others and make new friends."

"Be yourself. Don't lose yourself just because these profs want you to struggle. Do whatever you want, study whatever you love. Hn bs paper se phle wale night me syllabus pdh lena 😅"

"You may have the lowest lows here, but trust me, you will only miss the highest highs! Cherish every single bit of this roller coaster — you have no idea how much you'll miss this home :')"
