There are many days I hear my alarm waking me up for college, and I dread getting out of bed.

I had more than I need. I was being fed every day while I lived in a wonderful house with my support system-my family.



However, being in college at times feels pathetic. I mean, the boring classes are already churning out the energy from your whole body and soul and then cleaning the room and clothes is another big deal. Phew! That’s tiring op, I must say.

It is so easy to find stress in college. Things like stress and lack of interest in my classes are just some of the negatives that overpower the good. Yet, at the perspective of another, their opinion would be completely different. For some school student, who’s seen 3 idiots must be thinking of “Waah! Life Ho to Aisi” cool-college life but guys everyone who’s there in college is for “Roti, Kapda, Makaan” necessity and I don’t think there’s time to even satiate your recreational mood swings.

You might say that I am nerdy. Kind of, yes! I am one who strives to do my best but the pressure and anxiety is making me question why. Why am I putting so much pressure on myself that I struggle to go to college? Stress about the workload pressure on making good grades/ getting a top-notch job? It's a lot.

When I hear my alarm waking me up for college, I get ready for an entire day. I'm walking into day for those seven hours of boredom, frustration, and judgment. I've many classes that take so much energy to keep from falling sleep. However, I am still trying to find the positives and encourage others to do the same. Trying to acknowledge this part of my life and embracing the moment for giving me a chance to experience this tough reality and coming out with much more vigour and resilience.
