The wait!

Waiting for something we want desperately is not where we humans shine, the same goes for us NEET aspirants.

Writing the exam and waiting for the results is one thing, but the period between the announcement of results, and the commencement of counseling is the worst we have to handle. 

For me, this was no different. I had a lot of plans regarding what I wanted to do post my exam, I had planned on joining an NGO, volunteering somewhere, going on trips, doing research on some exciting topics, and much more. But the truth is that I did none of the abovementioned stuff. 

This period of wait is filled with doubts, moments of joy, us watching random college campus videos, talking with friends and family about different campuses, the events those colleges have, their infrastructure, the name they have made in the past, and the amount of excitement we have when we discuss all these is a whole new side of ours which no one has ever seen.

These few months of wait have had a significant impact on my life. These months have got me to realize that I am done with holidays, I literally started feeling old sitting jobless at home, having nothing to do but paint, sketch, and talk to friends and family. 

People usually are eager for holidays, chilling at home, binge-watching series, and movies, reading books, and sleeping late, but ask me all these get extremely boring after a while, you'll have no interesting series to watch, nothing fun to read.

But still, these few months are once-in-a-lifetime chances we get, we'll have nothing to do but just relax.

The harsh truth is waiting for an allotment is never easy, there is always a doubt in the corner of our minds.

For me, it has been like I have visited a lot of colleges, spoken to a lot of seniors, and interacted with so many people, and all this has motivated me to continue this journey of joining MBBS. 

Now the time is here when we future medicos will finally get our allotment and the wait is over, but a few of us still need to wait, trust me in the end it will be worth the wait.

All the best to all the future medicos reading this!
