How has your life changed since starting college?

I have never stayed away from home before this but now I live in a pg with the worst management, manage my own chores, and travel alone.

I felt frustrated, occasionally venting at my family and used to have panic attacks.

It will be a year since I started college, so I thought I should share my experience with you.

In PG, I met 5 other girls from my classroom, and from the start, I kept my expectations low and was sure that I did not fit in with them, so I kept my distance, and my only connection in college was my roommate at that time.She advised me multiple times to hang out with that group. I made it clear to her that it was not right for my well-being to spend time with people with whom I feel uncomfortable.
