This amount of pressure is not worth it.

I had to take a half day because of panic attacks at work. Seeing my awful performance broke something inside me. I have been staying on my own since 11th std. In these 9-10 yrs I never went home except for Covid. But today all I wanted to do was to run into my mom’s arms and just sleep. Many of us on this sub are living alone away from family and friends. It feels like this city will devour me.

Don’t let this exam ruin you. It was my first attempt and had I done 3-4 more questions correct in Quants, I would have been through. I tried to sleep but woke up panting thinking it’s the next day and I have to get back to work.

Sit back. Let it all play out. No one’s coming to save you. Save yourself. Wapas se lagg jaao.

The folks who make it to these colleges are among us. I accept some are extraordinary but not everyone is.
