Nobody to roam around with .

You might argue that we don't need anyone to have a walk. Some people might go as far as to say that walking alone is a "state of mind" , the hell it may be so if you are wandering in a jungle with no humans. But in a tightly packed campus like ours where the population density is astronomical, walking alone feels like you are doing a ramp walk on some international fashion show. Almost everyone feels that 'spotlight effect' and it's a very terrible thing, you think, you even have trouble breathing. So that's a no option.

​Then you are just left with a few options. You can beg to your "busy wasting time friends" – they are always busy doing something but they do nothing. They never go anywhere. All they do is reject everything of lightest joy. So asking them hits way hard on your ego that you never ever try again. On the other hand, may God be merciful and provide you with a girlfriend, then you're never gonna have this problem.

​So what do I do, I resent myself for wasting my time in movies, books, and social media. What other options do I have? I wanted a life where I would work and excel and at the same time doing cool things college kids would be doing. At least be a part of a great social life. So that's what happened. I didn't get a very good social life and it affected my progress.

​Now I've realized that first comes progress and then other things follow up, not the other way around. After all, I've never had many friends and never a best friend, so why did I expect to change things just because I came here? Or maybe I was unlucky to not find a good circle. Whatever! It's now time to do the "main" thing and dessert will arrive later.

​Here I sign off, your weekly writer. I'll write every week from now on on relatable things. Still better than those clubs who don't seem to be working much.
