If you could go back in time and say one thing to your fresher self, what would it be?
"You'll soon get crazy good at the things you struggle with right now."
"If I were a fresher, I would be tell myself to be more confident and take decisions of my own and pick only few selected friends and trustable ones. And focus on academics, and live everyday of life at fullest, which I did though..."
"Be aware not unaware."
"We made it buddy!"
"Drink more alcohol."
"Take acads very seriously during initial semesters, as that sets the precedent for the CPI you will be having throughout. Figure out what you want to do by the end of 2nd year at max,not just by crowd pull, the thing which you actually like, and start preparing for it seriously in summers of 2nd year. Apart from it, enjoy every moment of the campus life, these are actually the golden years which will not come again!! "
"Everything will be OK in the end, if its not OK...it is not THE END."
"Explore more, be strong, trust yourself, love yourself. Conquer your fears. Academics is equally important as skills."
"Open up and speak up without anxiety, reach out for guidance and mentoring, and talk to people early so you can take action and plan ahead—rest, all good."
"Take part in clubs and PORs. Tech guys like me are locked within wings and are mostly amivert. But broo tech teams are there, AIC, Quant Community etc are good options. Even web dev teams of other clubs are good. My ISMP didn't emphasised on this tbh. One of the biggest regrets of mine is not been able to take part in any of those clubs. Though I was co-ordinator in Mood Indigo Services and executed 2-3 deals worth few lakhs each. That time was great, new connections made, new learnings and different experience. I recommend everyone to be part of any institute club/team/community for once atleast. "
"Work harder and keep faith on Hanumanji."
"Run for the hills mf."
"If u are thinking of calling ur friend just call and talk to them. Don't ever leave any friend just because they went a different path, your friends are your responsibility too."
"Talk to everyone you know because making connections is the only way a human can live. Also don’t lose that girl."
"You would do well and you actually did just study a bit more and cut down on ciggies To quote Rio Ferdinand, "just enjoy it man"
"It works out, but you have to make it. You have to want to change, give yourself grace and give yourself discipline too. You are so amazing, don't forget it. Things work out, work on things you have now and trust the process. Love yourself and give yourself the chances to grow. You are enough. You are loved. You aren't behind or wrong. Life works out. You'll love it. "
