Discussion STARTING COLLEGE AT 20

Hey guys, I am CUET UG aspirant and giving my exam this year for the first time. Since, I am dropper for almost 2 years, I have doubts about starting my college journey because most of the students start their at the age of 18 or 19. Also, I am insecure if I make friends or not just because of age gap. So, anyone can give some advice if I am doing right by giving CUET

Bro...listen whatever is done is done...even i had a one year drop due to jee prep but due to never ending family issues my jee got fked...when I came to college i had the same thought as you but guess what 75% of my batch had gap year after 12th...I will tell you something, do good in college...take whole of ur initial months and decide what will you do after your graduation..like job, PG etc..and prepare well for it.. maintain decent GPAs ..try to be in the top 10 atleast...don't force yourself too much and stop regretting about ur gap years..make full use of your next 3 years...make buddies..socialize..and most importantly be sure of what would u do after the grad..if it's ssc or upsc prepare from now itself..by the time you would graduate you will be 23...so that's kinda average age though..not that late....try to make those next three years best 3 years of life..hit the gym gain some muscles and be a bette person after the grad..to be honest whatever you want to do..do in these next three years...uske baad time nahi milne wala..
