From Small Town to City Life: My MBBS Journey Begins Indian image

When I first got into one of the top MBBS colleges in Bangalore , it should’ve felt like a dream come true. But coming from a small town, the excitement was quickly replaced to some extent  by self-doubt. Everything felt unfamiliar—hostel rooms, bustling streets, new faces, and a pace of life I wasn’t prepared for.

I felt lost, inferior, and many times out of place. Everyone around me seemed so confident, so sure of themselves, while I was still figuring out how to fit in. There was no one I could really talk to. I kept things to myself, smiled on the outside, but struggled silently. But with time, I found my rhythm. A few kind classmates, patient seniors, and the realization that I wasn’t alone in feeling this way helped me slowly come out of my shell.

Looking back, I just wish someone had told me early on that it’s okay to feel overwhelmed—that I wasn’t weak, just human. If you’re in a similar place right now, please know this: you’re not alone. Thing gets better with time……for sure!

Let’s be there for each other—because sometimes, all it takes is one person who listens.
