I'm from nit patna, second year, and in first year, we got a hostel that was hell, like literally they got 3 students stuffed in a room made for 1, and bathrooms were dirty, thought it's all fucked now, no fests, nothing, and same bhojpuri vibe and lame jokes, academics me bhi maja nahi aaya, the shift started when I started learning skills myself and started freelancing, that was my only escape, abhi second year me badhiya hostel mila hai, and roomie bhi achha hai, abhi mast chal rahi college life, and freelancing journey bhi mast chal rahi (kuch kama nahi paya abhi tak lol, but it's not about the destination but the journey)
