I'm not saying any of this because I got everything right. I didn't. I missed out on many of these myself. Most of this advice comes from regret, and some of it still hurts. If this helps even one person make better use of their college years than I did, it'll be worth writing.
Learn sales. No matter what course you take, learn to sell yourself first. To sell yourself well, you need to know your value. If you feel you lack it, spend your college years building it.
Learn to pause, think, and then speak. Own your seat in a crowd. Hold as many mics as possible, whether it's presentations, debates, events, or volunteering to speak. Be agentic. Don't wait for permission to take initiative. Communication and public speaking alone can create as much value as your degree.
Whether you're already making money, aim to become a millionaire, or are certain you'll build a successful startup someday, always have a Plan B. A job isn't failure. It's leverage. A few years ago, a degree alone could land you one. Today, a degree is just the entry ticket. Graduate with proof of work: internships, projects, freelancing, open source contributions, leadership roles, or anything that shows you can execute.
Build networks, both inside and outside college. Seniors, professors, alumni, peers, and people in your field can change your life. Opportunities rarely come from applying alone. They often come through people. Try to land good internships while you're still in college.
Avoid backlogs at all costs. They quietly pull you away from your goals. Respect deadlines and submissions. Yes, they get you marks, but more importantly, they build discipline and reliability. Those habits make you employable. They also make you a better entrepreneur because ideas are cheap and execution is everything.
Whether you're naturally studious or not, teach someone. It's one of the fastest ways to learn. Find someone you respect, preferably someone who scores well. Teach them what you know, and let them teach you what they know.
Don't be toxic to anyone, and don't tolerate toxicity from others either. Protect your peace.
If you're lucky, you might find love. It's not mandatory. Don't fall only for pretty faces or curves. Those are just bonuses. Find someone whose company you genuinely enjoy, someone you can spend hours with without wanting to strangle each other. That's the kind of compatibility that lasts.
I'm from Tamil Nadu and my wife is Malayali. My in-laws are Malayalis but have been living in Tamil Nadu for many years.
For the past 6 months, we've been staying at my in-laws' house because my wife wanted Kerala food during pregnancy, and now she's recovering from a C-section while we care for our newborn.
I have my own job and responsibilities, and I'm not staying here because I have nowhere else to go. It was simply the most practical arrangement during pregnancy and postpartum.
Today, my mother-in-law told me that some people from their community are laughing because I'm staying at my wife's parents' house. It honestly made me feel quite low.
Is this actually frowned upon in Malayali culture, or is this just a few people being judgmental? I'd really appreciate honest opinions, especially from Malayalis. If you think I'm in the wrong, I'm open to hearing why.
