College Chronicles

Drama happened, and it...didn't affect me. I willingly stepped away and stopped trying to "solve" it thinking that it'll be too toxic for me.

Have a friend and teammate fashionably running late by 45 minutes (broski stays 10 minutes away, couldnt wake up for a class at 10am), asked us to mark him present for attendance

Some incidents in my first month that have morphed me into college kid:

met a random professor who teaches immunology and geeked out about my passion in the subject, and chatted with her for 10 minutes (she asked for my name after, which i think is a plus point)

missed a deadline by 2 minutes and am now freaking out about tomorrow's class (pls don't fail me professor)

got into the good books of a professor known to be strict, who encouraged me to keep reading and writing no matter how much uni work "bogs you down"

I spent 6 months, 4000 words, 32 pages, and 1 interview in IB discussing the benefits of GM crops and how revolutionary a scientific technology it is to get stuck with an essay topic in college where I need to write why they should be illegal in India.

After the first week, I can say college gives you toxic lover vibes because when you’re introduced, it is all fun. Then, they dump you with assignments for 4 days straight, and now, somehow, I have a 3 day weekend for the first 3 weeks of every month…with only one submission remaining?

Big kid life is weird

A 24-hour deadline...2 assignments and a brand new group, too much socialising, too much work.
