Whoever said getting over a break up is the toughest thing to do didn't know a thing about college applications. The last three weeks has been nothing short of hell but the good news is after the storm passed, I quit NEET and Aakash. I sat my parents down and explained how I wanted to chase my dreams and study abroad, I have good grades and my profile is also pretty decent. I told them the difference between Indian system of education and the IB system, drew a neat line between the two and put my foot down on not writing NEET. So the storm passed but I am still deserted. I don't know where I am going to go, how I will finance my education and how I will stay away from my crazy family but I do know that this chase is worth. Going after what I truly want is probably the best decision I am making. I know even if I did crack NEET, I wouldn't be able to cope up with the next 5 years and life is too short to waste time on coping up. For months people tried to tell me that it is okay to leave things unfinished, life is not a checklist but I turned deaf to them and now I got the courage to stand up for it.

If I can shore higher, if I have a golden ticket, if I can go further, it would be stupid to not go after them. So yes, I decided to quit Aakash and apply to other colleges abroad. I am not sure if this is the right move or the good move but I know this is what I want to do!
