How do I get back on track?
Hi everyone,
I'm here looking for some advice, and I'd really appreciate any guidance you can offer.
A little about myself: I'm currently studying CSE under a National Affliated University (Professional Program) in Dhaka. During my university admission period I gave everything I had to get into a public university. One thing that still bothers me is that I was 5th on the waiting list for JU IBA. I came so close. Honestly I haven't fully gotten over it.
Because of that, I've spent the last two years feeling like I made a huge mistake by enrolling in a National Affliated University. Tbh I had no other choice bc I couldn't afford private university tuition fees. Looking back I realize I've wasted a lot of time. Even after two years I still haven't properly learned the fundamentals of many of my courses.
Recently I've been trying to let go of my regrets and focus on improving my life but I honestly don't know where to start.
Another issue is that I'm extremely introverted. I literally have no close friends. I talk to a few classmates but they never seem to match my vibe so it's hard to build meaningful connections. However I do have one friend who is actively developing his pen-testing and cybersecurity skills on his own and I've been trying to communicate more with him and learn from his approach.
At this point I feel lost. I want to improve myself academically build useful skills and get my life back on track but I'm not sure what steps I should take first.
What would you do if you were in my position? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
