As i had expected, I did not score well in NEET 2022. I was sad because I had myself come in the way of achieving my dream but i was fine at the same time. Because I studied. In the last 6 months and especially in the last month I tried, i really tried. And that felt good. It didn't make me feel guilty of not trying hard enough. Everything I studied in that time i studied well and did not really make a mistake. And i scored quite well as compared to my preparation. I scored 380 out of 720. My friend who's been studying diligently for 2 years scored 480 and i who's been diligent for less than 6 months scored 380. That was impressive. In my state it requires atleast 515 to get into a government medical college. In other states it is atleast 560 or higher. I'm also thankful for that.
This time it didn't happen but next time it will. I decided to go to another city, Chandigarh to get coaching with none other than Janice and a friend of hers (for the sake of this story let's call her lily) lily. Janice's original plan to study in USA got cancelled as she was too old to be sponsored by her masi (maternal aunt). I didn't really trust Janice. She was nice and friendly but definitely not concerned about her future at all. She didn't even study. I decided to be positive and thought she may not be that serious about her future but she's not a complete idiot. If she has decided to take a drop( gap year between school and college) and get coaching then She'll atleast try. Boy was i wrong.
I knew she wouldn't be such a pain in the ass since her friend was coming along and they both would be hanging out together and not bother me. We had originally decided to go to helix and live together in a flat in separate rooms. But all that got changed faster than a chameleon changes colour. In a single day we found out a new hostel to live in, a new coaching institute to go to and shattering of all fun and freedom we dreamt of. They painted such a dreadful and depressing picture of the next 9 months for us that my heart trembled and a chill ran down my spine. How will i be able to survive that? Will I be able to achieve the dream that i came here for? Away from family and away from so called friends. In that moment what I felt was true fear. I didn't want to change anything that i had been imagining for the past few days. But it had to and now that i look at it from the future THANK GOD IT DID. It was the best thing that could happen. Someone out there was really rooting for me.
So we began our new journey.
We had to live together in one single room for a week since our new hostel wasn't ready yet and that was the 2nd most stressful period of my entire journey. The first was a week before NEET. That was some serious shit dude. Even i don't know how i survived that.
The warden was terrible, the room was problematic, the hostel was suffocating, the food was good. Only the food was good. I swear to god at one point the warden asked us keep the curtains closed at all time so that "boys" Don't peak inside. And the most annoying part was no one found anything wrong with it.
Aspirants try to take their lives after a few months but we did that the very first day we stayed there. Janice got a new water bottle and we all drank water from it. Later we discovered a little packet of silica gel lying at the bottom of the bottle. If had studied enough chemistry we wouldn't have been there. So we just searched on google if it would kill us or how long we had. Thankfully the amount of 'poisoned' water we drank was pretty harmless. We were safe, for now.
We also got too sick the 1st week and it was really hard setting to that routine. But we all tried. Some more than the other.The only good thing that happened was that we all got along with each other so well that I felt like we would be friends for eternity. ( atleast 2 of us did).
Janice, lily and I bonded so well that getting the separate rooms that we desperately wanted in the new hostel after a week, felt wrong.
Our journey started then.
My journey really started then.
