Your interest might range from a human being to a thing! You just need to explore. Firstly, do not bunk your college. People have this super weird interest in bunking it and exploring places outside the campus. Yes, of course, explore places outside the college. But, college hours are meant for in-campus fun. So, don't miss that. Sandeep Maheshwari or Eric Thomas will only be able to guide you. But, you are the one who will execute those guidelines.

You can try out several things. Writing a blog for instance or building up a new skill! You can try and learn guitar or any instrument. Having an internship as your part-time job would be a great idea too. Just keep yourself busy with something constructive. Motivation is what builds up memorable experiences in college life.

This provides you inspiration for the coming day. It makes you feel that you have done something worthwhile. But, you need to find what interests you. Is it painting, singing, artwork, or nature? So, do not wait. Get your five senses at work!
