past
i just read my old posts. Ive come so far i shed a tear or two. I cant recognise myself anymore. I saw myself through different phases in life. almost like different lenses. i was so uptight and deep and meaningful and. deep. i dont know if i like this current version of me thats so casual and careless and disgustingly lazy or my old self. i mean i have exams in 4 days and i cant even get myself to start studying. end sems btw not even minors. I dont know if its the arrogance of "ill make it somehow" or carelessness. I need to remind myself that im not a brat. i dont have that kind of money. so i should stop acting like a spoiled brat and be careful with my time and study, which is the only reason why my parents put me here. Being here changed me. people, the place, the convenience. everyone here is rich and have backup options and can spend money for useless things. i forgot my situation. my parents work so hard every single day. every rupee they earn and spend for my education, or for my food, or clothes, or on me in general, is the money they deny for themselves. I mean my mom walks kilometers instead of taking an auto or a bus. while i waste money on junk food because i "dont like" the mess food. i waste all my time not doing the one thing my parents want from me. the only thing they expect in return of all this hardwork and investment and money is my studies and my grades and my cgpa. which is something i happen to not give the slightest shit about. i need to revisit my old times, remember what is important and what isnt. everyone here focuses on crushes and love and fun and parties. its difficult to stay in my lane by myself. so i didnt stay in my lane, i went to theirs, i cant deny, i had fun. but my parents didnt put me here for me to have fun. they didnt pay 8 lakh per year for me to end up not studying and acting like a spoiled brat. i focus too much on unimportant things that the direction of my life was lost. i need to accept the truth that i only have one path infront of me, and that is to be a good student and end up getting a software job. whether i want to or not. it doesnt matter anymore. i need to focus less on boys and love and looks and fun and drinks and basically brat stuff. and focus on studies and internships and jobs. im so behind in everything academic. its so embarrassing. everyones supposed to be in intermediate level of coding and im in elementary level. or even worse. im gonna lock in now. ill start with dms and dldca and physics, in order. and end with linear algebra and complex analysis one day before exam. my exams will go well and i will lock in. theres no other point of me being in this college. my dad needs me to study well.
