Hey sweethearts 💞💋

I hope you’re all doing well! I’ve been meaning to sit down and write this for a while now, and finally, here I am. I’m genuinely hoping you’re all feeling great — because honestly, I’ve been feeling pretty amazing myself, and I can’t wait to share why.

Now, I’m not someone who usually talks much about my personal life — not on social media and not even in real life—that's not my style. I’ve always felt that certain things are just better kept private. But today, I’m making an exception because this moment feels too special not to share. You guys have always been so kind, supportive, and encouraging, and I feel like you deserve to know about this little victory of mine.

So, let me take you back a bit. As some of you might remember, in January, I had the chance to travel around Uttar Pradesh. It was such a beautiful experience — a mix of adventure, spirituality, and peace. One of the highlights of my trip was attending the Mahakumbh. If you’ve never been, it’s this massive spiritual gathering that’s both chaotic and deeply calming at the same time. I also visited several religious sites, and honestly, the whole trip left me feeling grounded and recharged.

But the relaxing vibe didn’t last long because February hit me like a storm as I switched gears to focus on my final exams. My finals were approaching fast, and alongside that, I was preparing for a month-long trip to Bangalore. Now, my main college is actually based in Bangalore, but since they have a branch in Delhi, I usually take my regular classes here. However, for exams — both written and practical — we’re required to go to the main Bangalore campus. So, off I went.

That one month in Bangalore? Wow… what a whirlwind. I stayed in a hostel, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of a rollercoaster ride — emotionally, mentally, and physically. One minute I was cramming for exams, the next I was stressing about practicals, next i was on the verge of being hospitalized, and somewhere in between, I was just trying to keep my sanity intact.

It was incredibly challenging to give my exams in Bangalore, and honestly, I don’t think I was fully prepared for just how difficult it would be. Everything felt so foreign — the language, the accent, the course materials — even the textbooks were different from what I had been studying back in Delhi. It wasn’t just a simple shift in environment; it felt like I was navigating an entirely new academic system. The exam patterns were unfamiliar too — the way they framed the questions, the structure of the papers, and the way answers were expected to be presented — everything required me to think differently and adapt on the spot.

But here’s the part I haven’t really told anyone — a little secret I’ve been keeping to myself. For the entire one and a half years of my first semester in nursing… I barely studied at all. Yes, you read that right — I didn’t study. Not the way most people would expect someone aiming to pass — let alone top — their class. I still can’t quite wrap my head around how I managed to pull this off. It honestly feels like some kind of miracle because, even though I didn’t put in the hours learning and making notes like my classmates did, somehow, I ended up topping my class.

And the craziest part? While I was writing my exams, I knew I was going to pass. I don’t know how to explain it — it was this strange sense of calm certainty that settled inside me. Even though I hadn't followed the typical 'study till you drop' routine, I walked into that exam hall feeling oddly confident.

But don’t get me wrong — it wasn’t like I had an easy time. Far from it. Throughout the exam period, I was incredibly sick. While most of my classmates were pulling all-nighters, studying until 3 a.m., I was in bed by early evening, completely exhausted. Late-night study sessions with all other friends and classmates weren’t even an option for me — my body simply couldn’t take it. I was battling severe illness, made worse by heavy periods that left me drained and weak.
