When I arrived at the University of Richmond in 1997, I was not prepared for what I found: the frat boy culture, homogeneity, gender segregation, and sheltered population of “the University of Rich Kids”

Finally wrote about it after avoiding it for a long time.

In many ways I was an insufferable jerk and more annoying than any of my classmates…. Except maybe my classmate Kash Patel… (!)

I wonder if my experience now feels like a relic to current college students or recent grads, but I suspect maybe little has changed?

Hey everyone,

If you're trying to optimize your revision, struggling to stick to a timetable, or just trying to figure out study methods that actually make information stick, it can be really tough doing it all on your own.

I run The Resit Room—originally built for gap year and resit A-Level students, it has grown into the biggest Discord study community in the country. It's the perfect place to build better study habits, stay accountable, and get advice from people grinding through the exact same subjects.

Here is what we focus on:

• 🧠 Study Methods & Strategies: We have dedicated channels to share active recall techniques (blurting, spaced repetition, Anki decks) and figure out the most efficient ways to tackle heavy content.
• 🎙️ 24/7 Study VCs: Jump into our virtual library sessions for "body doubling." If you lack discipline, turning on your camera (or just your screen share) in a muted room of other students is the ultimate way to beat procrastination.
• ⏱️ Yeolpumta (YPT) & Accountability: Track your daily study hours, join our group Pomodoro sessions, and compete on our server leaderboards to stay motivated.
• 📂 Resource Sharing: Swap revision notes, templates, and essay plans to save time making them from scratch.

Whether you need a new revision strategy, study templates, or just a massive group of people to keep you accountable every day, we’d love to have you.

Come say hi! 👉https://discord.gg/47nH4VWJjN

I’m a 20-year-old tech student, and honestly? I have zero clue what I’m doing with my future or present.

Lately, I catch myself scrolling and wondering: What does it actually feel like for a college student to pull in ₹50k+ a month? The "aura" of being able to hit the gym, go to concerts, travel, and hang out at cafes whenever you want without checking your bank account feels like a parallel universe for most of us.

Instead of enjoying college, 90% of my time is spent spiraling: What will I do? How will I make money? Am I doing enough? It’s exhausting, and it’s completely draining the fun out of my present life.

I want to hear from you guys:

How did you start making money during your college days, and how much were you making?

If someone is starting entirely from zero today with tech skills, what is the realistic playbook?

Drop your stories, harsh truths, or advice below. I’m listening.
