Today I wrote last exam of my BSc Data Science undergrad, and just like that, three years of college life come to an end.
There's an fourth year under NEP, and I still need to weigh all the odds for that. But for now, this chapter closes.
Reflecting on this journey... it wasn't what I expected. I carry a lot of regrets but for once I'll keep them aside and talk about the good part.
As it ends my heart is filled with love and memories more than regrets and probably that's what matters.
This place shaped my career. The education was top notch. Statistics, data science, machine learning, AI, data engineering. My college was autonomous, which meant we actually had good professors and a curriculum that meant something.
For that, I'm genuinely grateful.
It gave me mentors I could trust blindly at a point. Teachers who didn't just teach but guided and paved the way when I couldn't see one myself.
It gave me a few people I could talk to and reveal parts of my life I hadn't shared with anyone before. They became part of me. Few good friends ❤️
And most importantly, it shaped me to do things I was scared of. To put myself out there for things I'd never would have done otherwise.
It also taught me how to handle job, research, college, life everything together and that was the best experience.
Honestly, my college life probably ended in the second year when I had a full-time offer and had already moved past the campus world, even though I showed up every day and studied. But that's okay. Thankfully, I now have more on my plate than to mourn what college wasn't, and enough ahead to look forward to.
Maybe it was written somewhere in my destiny to end up here, and maybe this exact path will shape me in ways I can't see yet. No one knows what would have happened if I'd chosen differently. But I didn't, and here I am.
One thing is the 12th std boy in me is proud of how far I have come ❤️🥹
This was the start. I don't plan to give up on education. I love academia and I'll continue studying further. There's a very long path ahead.
So here's to learning, building, and moving forward. As always✌🏻
