Just wanted to say that I’m proud of you, even if things have been messy lately. Life can be weird and exhausting, and sometimes just getting through the day is enough.

If you need to rant, vent, celebrate something small, or just talk about whatever’s on your mind, I’m here. Stay strong. You’ve made it this far, and that counts for something. ❤️

It’s been 2 months since graduation and tf are y’all doing differently?
I’ve been mass applying on LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, Internshala, Naukri and literally every site I can think of. Tailoring resumes, writing cover letters, applying to random startups, remote roles, internships, full-time jobs… everything.
And all I have to show for it is rejection mails and companies ghosting me like I owe them money 💀
Meanwhile I come here and see people casually saying “Got placed”, “Switched jobs”, “Received offer letter” and I’m genuinely happy for y’all but HOW?? 😭

Are referrals carrying everyone? Is the market that bad? Or am I just doing something horribly wrong?
Because at this point Monday I want to do a startup, Tuesday masters, Wednesday freelancing, Thursday government jobs and by Friday I just stare at the ceiling questioning my existence.
Please tell me I’m not the only unemployed graduate losing their mind 🥲

I graduated a month back and decided to target SSC CGL 2026, but if I’m being honest, all I’ve done so far is procrastinate. 😭
Every day I tell myself, “I’ll start seriously tomorrow,” and somehow end up scrolling social media, watching random videos, and overthinking my future instead.
I’m finally starting my preparation from today and wanted to ask those who have already cracked CGL or are preparing for it:
• Is starting now enough for SSC CGL 2026?
• What are the best sources for Quant, Reasoning, English, and GS?
• Which YouTube channels, books, or free resources helped you the most?
• Any advice for someone who struggles with consistency and keeps delaying things?
Honestly, I feel guilty for wasting the past month after graduation, but I’m determined to make things work from today onwards.
Would really appreciate any guidance from seniors and fellow aspirants. 😭

Confidence level: Somewhere between AIR 1 and opening Instagram after 10 minutes of studying. 😭

I find it funny how I wrote about falling in love with a girl when I was 14, and people immediately decided I must be a man.
How does talking about loving a woman automatically make someone male?
Why is heterosexuality still treated as the default in 2026?
Women can love women. Men can love men. People can be bi. People can be queer. People can simply love someone without fitting into whatever assumptions strangers make about them.
It’s June. Pride Month, of all months, and somehow we’re still reducing people to stereotypes based on who they talk about loving.
What bothered me wasn’t even being mistaken for a man. It was how confidently people generalized an entire identity from a few paragraphs about feelings.
Love isn’t gendered. Why are assumptions?
