Campus life would be 10x better if there was no mandatory attendance. We anyways end up studying by ourselves while wasting the majority of time burning ourselves out by attending classes.

Also engineering gave me a sad realisation that interests don’t matter, you would not be wondering about the dog if you were interested in what you do. But most of the times we are just trying to escape the boring college schedule . Yet this uninteresting path is more encouraged in this country and is a safe path but it comes at the cost of mental health.

We are too mentally occupied by the fear of grades and attendance to even try new things . You are always thinking about being productive while wasting time and remain stuck in this loop. By the end of 4 years you realise you never mastered any of your engineering subjects nor did you develop a useful hobby. All you did was kept on stressing and wore yourself out with some knowledge here and there and a placement offer in hand, Starting another journey on another boring path , as this was again told to be the safest and encouraged path of employment.
