Hey everyone!

I’m currently in my 2nd year of undergrad studying Marketing at NMIMS, Mumbai and I’ve honestly been super confused and anxious about my postgrad plans lately.

My_Qualifications - As I mentioned I’m a 2nd year Marketing Student at NMIMS,
Have done my 12th at a dummy college in Mumbai since I was preparing for an entrance exam and 10th from Mumbai at a private school

I know I want to work in branding/marketing long term and eventually join my family’s event management business in Mumbai. I also dream of opening my own café someday, which is why I’ve recently become really interested in pastry school as well.

Now I’m confused between:
-directly pursuing an MBA after undergrad
-taking a gap year and doing pastry school first
or maybe even doing a Master’s in Marketing instead of an MBA

For postgrad I’m mainly looking at:
-US
-Europe (especially France & Spain)
-Australia
-India

Would love some honest advice from people who’ve studied abroad or work in marketing/business/hospitality:
• MBA vs Master’s in Marketing?
• Is a gap year viewed negatively at universities like NYU, HEC?
• Any good uni recommendations?
• What should I focus on during college to build a strong profile? Internships, extracurriculars, networking, GPA etc?

Anything you regret not doing during undergrad?

Honestly just trying to figure things out and would really appreciate any advice/tips from people who’ve been through this 😭

Hey, I’m 19M, currently 112 kg.

Both my parents have diabetes, so I know I’m already at risk and I don’t want to wait till things get worse.

I’ve tried everything gym, dieting, spending money on plans but I just can’t stay consistent. I keep restarting and honestly I’ve started feeling ashamed even going back to the gym again and again. It’s mentally exhausting.

Every day I look in the mirror and feel disappointed, and I never thought I’d reach a point where I’d consider medication this seriously, but I feel like I don’t have another option now.

So I’ve decided I want to try Ozempic

I’ve already done a full body checkup and I’m waiting for my endocrinologist appointment.

Before that, I just wanted to ask:

1. What should I actually go for in India right now? (Ozempic vs generics)
2. Are the newer generic semaglutide options safe and worth it?
3. Any brands or experiences you guys recommend?
4. What should I expect in the first few weeks?

Budget isn’t a big issue, but if there’s a cheaper alternative that works just as well, I’d rather go for that.

Also just to say I’ve taken a long time to come to this decision, so I’d really appreciate support or advice rather than being told I’m too young for it.

Would genuinely appreciate any help or personal experiences 🙏
