When I first joined NEET coaching, I thought I was stepping into a place of endless tests, pressure, and competition. And yeah, that part was true but what I didn’t expect was that in between those MCQ discussions and chai breaks, I’d find my people.
We were all in the same boat -exhausted, anxious, terrified of inorganic chemistry (don’t lie, you were too ), and somehow that shared struggle made us inseparable. The late-night group calls where we planned to wake up at 4 am (and all overslept
), the tiny celebrations after a good mock test, the collective panic before bio tests, those were the moments that quietly stitched us together.
What started as casual “who’s your physics sir?” convos turned into full-blown emotional support systems. They were there on my bad days, my I-wanna-give-up days, my why am I even doing this days. And today, even after NEET is over, they’re still the ones I turn to for rants, for random memes, for life.
Funny how a place designed to break us down with competition actually gave me friendships that built me up.
I love my shaylaassssss
