Life is kinda sad?

All the MO friends I made have slowly started to disappear.I know I will probably meet them in ISI but what if our friendship has rusted ?, it's not the same anymore.I was not very close with all the friends I made during this time but certainly the bengali ones were the closest ones, they were the only places where I vented out,took confide in when my real friends were not good.Now at the end of the school year it feels like everyone has drifted apart.I won't talk about my INMO chances because it's same like last year, dangling of a dangerous cliff like a small thread.I don't know but did mains and inmo drifted me away? I never tried to drift away from anyone. I hope something good happens in everyone's life so that we can be together again.I hope this guy and my other friends who've started leaving servers get cheered up so that they are happy again.


Advice

When I first joined Aops I was a small kid, 4 and a half years have passed since then, I used to try many problems and was genuinely scared of harder looking problems.It took me 4 years to realise that had I not feared I could've achieved something much more.

I won't dive into much details about my mains but there's been something I've been bursting to say.Everybody who knows me personally knows my percentile so won't be mentioning that.But what I would rather say is that I didn't read the whole or the maximum of inorganic chem, a big portion of physical chem forgot to revise organic and didn't touch hyperbola.Although I was lucky that hyperbola didn't come in my shift , but I certainly did better with this graveyard of knowledge. The question is how?

For people who don't know , mains was my first mains simulating exam given sounds hilarious but it's true.Ive given allen over the two years and always done phychemmath in this order.But when I opened my mains computer math came up first and for some reason I did math first.Strangely this decision led me to give out the best of me in mains and somehow achieve a good percentile relieving me of mains tensions leaving me with lesser tensions for inmo.

So what can we conclude? Knowledge certainly is the factory but in the end everything boils down to exam temperament.You have to fix your exam temperament so that the right ideas come rushing down in the right time and the maximum of yours is given out in any exam.Be it INMO or MAINS or WBJEE or ADVANCED. You have to realise that the will power of doing anything lies in your hands and you can do anything as you please like I am wasting time rn .So fix your exam temperament so that you don't have to regret about the effort you had given for the exam.

Another tip, you might be a neet,Olympiad or isi or cmi aspirant,be it anything do sit for mains and if you make it then advanced.Giving this exams is similar to going to school when you are young,making rl friends and playing and touching grass with them (I mean the exceptions to this are probably abnormal people only).Always check your potential through mains as if you are measuring your caliber,mains is a routine for every Indian science hs student .(Also if your mains goes unexpectedly good like me you'll see how the confidence in yourself gets boosted.)


I hope I could help the people through this humongous bullcrap I wrote and I don't have to regret the effort I put in here anytime later.Put your views in the comment section, bye!
