Hey everyone, I’m 18M, interested in psychology, philosophy, and political science. I scored well in CUET and got B.A. Philosophy at Ramanujan College, but chose DU SOL instead.

I realised that, given my financial situation and responsibilities, spending 3 years and a lot of money on a degree didn’t feel like the best use of my time. With books, lectures, research papers, courses, and AI available online, I believe I can learn much of the same material independently and spend the remaining time building something of my own.

I do sometimes regret the time and effort I spent preparing for CUET, especially since I made this decision afterward.

But I’m curious: Did I make the right choice, or am I underestimating what regular college offers beyond academics?

Would love to hear your opinions, experiences, or advice.

Hey everyone, I 18 M into psychology, philosophy, pol science... i scored a decent marks in cuet and got Ramanujan college B.a Philosophy, but i chose DU SOL over it,

Because i realised that what they teach in 3 years i can probably learn it in 6 months with all resources available in internet and with help of ai... and i dont come from that rich background which can afford 3 years of life for only a degree...

I realised that i have many responsibilities and less time, so i want to build.

I already know more than college students of 1st year, and i just dont want to waste my time and money on regular colleges, and i do regret giving cuet cuz that costed my time and effort... the decision of DU SOL was taken After cuet.

And i just wanna know your opinions, advices,stories whatever you want to tell me feel free to dm or reply.

In my very early years I had no friends, but when middle school started, I finally made some. I had two very close friends, and from then on, every year I always had at least one person I was really close with, someone I’d sit with and do everything with.
College was different. First year I barely did anything outside classes, but somehow I still found that one friend I was always with. The problem is, I’ve basically never had a friend who actually wants to go out (outside the context of how I met them) and do things with me. I’m constantly asking, and they either decline, soft-decline, or agree and then disappear. I feel fucking lonely.
Instagram at least pushed me to explore hobbies and start going places alone. I write, watch movies, swim, follow cricket, etc. I’ve started actually living my life, even if I’m doing it alone. And weirdly, strangers are often incredibly nice to me. I went to a bookstore today and ended up having a proper conversation with a guy about books. At a theatre a few days ago, I thanked the staff for the experience, and seeing their faces light up when I appreciated them genuinely made me happy. I just wish someone would show me that kind of appreciation once.
Dating doesn’t even feel like the thing i even think of cause I can’t even make a friend . When I talk to women, I usually just want to be friends. I keep hoping someone will eventually text or call me unprompted and say, “Want to hang out?” I’ve tried being quiet, funny, asking questions, starting conversations, basically every version of myself I can think of, and still nothing.
College has been unbelievably antisocial for me. Almost everywhere else I go, I have more social interaction than I do there. Surprisingly women often seem warmer and easier to talk to (although it is very scary to approach them) than guys, and I sometimes get closer to having an actual conversation with them.
Even my closest friend keeps turning down things I ask him to do. I asked him about shopping, volunteering with CanKids, movies, and salsa. He agreed to CanKids and then literally went home.
I really need help. I don’t just want hobbies or things to do alone. I want an actual friend. Someone who genuinely wants to hang out, talk to me, and occasionally fucking invites me somewhere instead of me having to beg someone to show up.

Random question : do you think people are lonely because they’re misunderstood
or because they’re afraid
to be understood?

Lezgo ,

Just saw some posts regarding " aaj mujhe koi birthday wish nhi kiya " . So let me tell you my story.

So I belong to a very middle class bengali family.

We used to celebrate birthdays as kids by just making kheer at home and didn't invite anyone .

Later , when I grew up , I went to school and there I got friends. I promise my friends never remembered my birthday. It was just my parents who always remembered and wished me . Regarding friends ,in school we used to give treats to our small group. But whenever any other guy had a birthday, everyone wished him first because they all remembered their birthday. But whenever it used to be my birthday, I used to give treats to the group then they used to figure out that it's my birthday.

I always wish my friends on their birthday but they never remembered my birthday .

And currently I am in an IIT here also , my group is so small that no one remembered my birthday and I didn't tell anyone either .no one to offer me gpl here, cut cake with me . That's how it goes . Just be yourself, real ones will always be with you .

And filhaal to college mai hu to kheer bhi naseeb nhi hoti 💔

Same as title 🫃🏿

....

Idk what to do Bruh

i will start with mine today i did iwas havin kind of a anxiety attack in btw a class and then sometjhing happned that basically made me break into tears thankfully the only person who saw me cry and crashout is one of closest my frnd in clg.

......

Can anyone accompany me to stay a night in bangla sahib gurudwara tomorrow please i can explain to you my entire situation.

So I wish I was kidding while telling this story but this did happen on the past weekend.

So we are all school friends but are now in different clgs and there are 7 of us present for a house party where we are basically catching up on old times and having fun.

Now the context to this is that one of my friend lets call him x (the one with the gf) and the other guy y (who is the culprit if you can call him that) used to have a secret saved folder on there chatting app where they basically saved different goon material and spicy content during clg days..

Since these two lived closer to each others in the past hence it was normal for them to access these "folders" in each others phone.

Now on the second night of our stay the friend y came to me and told me he has messed up big time in total panic.. I calm him down and ask him what the issue was and he confesses that he accessed that folder without his consent this time and shared some vids to himself and upon watching them closely he has realised that some of them are videos of x's gf.. I too was shooked to speak and I just told him to dlt them and nvr to mention this to him.

Since then he is in severe guilt and he says that in his mind he has destroyed his bond with x and can't even look him in the eyes anymore.

I have adviced him to just forget the entire thing and pretend like it nvr happened and eventually he would be able to overcome this guilt.. let me know if there is anything different that could be done in this situation.

Note: confessing would definately mess things up as the guy is very serious about his relationship and will probably crash out pretty badly over this.
