@gungunbansal_ Q.1 How was your college life so far?

Right now, I'm in my second year of college, and I have only one year to maybe enjoy doing internships, because in the third year of college, I only have to think about my future. So this particular year, the second year of your college life, is something that is very crucial for you because you are in the middle, so you cannot even enjoy completely, and you cannot even work completely. So there is a lot of dynamics that keeps on going, right?

Like, okay, but meanwhile, when you become this business in a regular activity, when you know, Monday to Saturday, you don't have anything else to do. So it's kind of being sucky at a certain point. But college life, I would suggest every adult should experience a college life. It's going to teach you a number of things. It's going to teach you how you should represent yourself in front of anyone. It's going to teach you how you can become independent

@gungunbansal_ Q.2 Did you have certain expectations from college life which completely changed after you started your college?

So, yeah, there are a lot of expectations. So can you just point out one or two expectations that you had in your college life which completely broke down das soon as you entered college?

College is nothing like Panani, but it's all about funding. You have to study regularly, you have to keep your assignments on time. You have to maintain the bar, academic bar. You need to set the bar for yourself. It's not like average passes. It works. No, it won't. And the second thing I was saying, I was really expecting that teachers, professors are going to be really helpful

@gungunbansal_ Q.3 How do you balance between enjoyment and academics?

Now that I came to the topic about fun and activities, I want to ask you, how can we manage between studying and having fun? I mean, definitely we require some balance, right? So how can we do that? It would be very great if you can add some points regarding balancing a college life between studying as well as having fun and

@Manalika

Unless until you didn't start having fun with what you do, you won't feel like doing those things. So you should make your things lovable. You should make your things funny so that you can do those things without feeling clinky or without feeling lazy and apart being balanced or apart having a balance, I would say, like, we can give importance to those things which are going to matter to us in the coming five years

@gungunbansal_ Q.4 How do we tackle peer pressure?

Making a timetable does not mean that adding the studying Rs every day, you can add like for 1 hour you're going to study and for the next hour, you're going to do some leisure activities like going out, watching a movie or doing something that really pampers. Just pamper yourself. Just make yourself happy. And after that, when your mind is fresh and you are kind of positive that now I am well prepared for it, like I'm relaxed and I'm refreshed

I'm in Alka. I love the very one element that you have added in my previous question that we should pemper ourselves in between. So I really love that thing. This is one of the best language of having a selflove or doing the selfcare to yourself. So it's pretty nice and lovely, I would say. And now it comes to the question how to take on the peer pressure. First of all, you need to consider that your competition is with yourself. You need to try harder

@gungunbansal_ Q.5 What’s the best advice that you could give to someone who is in/about to start their college life?

You have to be strong. It's okay. It's okay to feel sad. It's okay to have a fear of judgment, what would other things but it's completely normal considered it absolutely normal because everybody goes through this kind of phase where they are facing peer pressure and they don't know what to do. You just have to be strong and you have to think about yourself and not anybody else

@Manalika

Thank you Manalika. It's been an amazing experience to having a conversation with you regarding the college life and living the best you can do. So I would suggest a very minimum and very minimal advice. I would say do connect with your senior years. They will help you to do the reality check of your college, of your professor of the people of the crowd in a very quick vision. They do know what's going on and how you're supposed to tackle the college line

@gungunbansal_ Thank you so much.

Yes, Gong, I agree with whatever you have said. Making connections with your senior is really very important because they are the first person who would give you a reality check. When you enter college, you'll finally understand the perspective of your seniors and how they started the college life. And through their experiences, you'll learn what to do and what not to do. So when I first came to college, I met some amazing seniors. They told me how their college life started

So there can obviously be a lot of reasons, but I can assure you that you will definitely get a lot of freedom when you come to college because there would not be any way to spoon feed you. Nobody will tell you to do anything. They will just say one thing that you have to do this and after that it's your responsibility to complete your work. Nobody will tell you anything. So here's a tip
