Learnings of First week at College

UNIVERSITY MAIN GATE

◾ Stepping into college is no fuss

As it is exaggarated on social media.

It feels super normal and packed with a bit of nervousness as you have no friends. But its okay mostly and in an hour or two you will be normally adjusted.

◾ Fashion is not even a concept.

I personally cared about my dressing and appearance but when I stepped into the class everyone seemed quite chilled about it, and all were dressed normally.

I actually felt light headed after this.

FIRST DAY OUTFIT

◾ Work load comes very slowly.

I assumed that I will have to work since day one but it wasn't the case. First week went for introduction, making friends, getting known to the campus and canteen ofcourse.

◾ Making friends was not that easy.

It is actually very hard to say that first "Hi/Hello". I couldn't get over my anxiety and had to eat alone twice. I still find it funny. When I finally opened up and said a few things, I found a friend and actually "my type" friend. Take time to make friends don't just rush in.

◾Learn to sit alone and embrace that time-

There were many moments where I had to sit in library alone or go for a random walk. The crazy part was that I didn't feel alone at all or even bored, rather it was the most enjoyable time.

Learning to survive and sustain alone in a crowded world is one of the best things I have ever accomplished.

This must be a case!

◾ Confidence is the key-

I noticed that the confident students could easily make up a special place for themselves in the class.

The way you present,

The way you act,

Bodylanguage and vocabulary you use,

all make a great difference.

Let me suggest you a great TED TALK that helped me out-

◾Conversation skills, Can't Stress enough-

Even if the conversation starts, I can't hold it and eventually it turns boring and fades away, and I accept it as my personal flaw.

And here again I will suggest a ted talk that can help you with this.
