There were my seniors and professors all around. It was a big hall. The worst part was there was no mike so I had to talk loudly but when I started taking they couldn't hear much and asked me to keep repeating until I make it clear for everyone. I was asked to introduce my name, place, hobby, why I chose this college/degree and my future aspirations. Honestly, I neither had a hobby nor any future aspirations. I chose the college in a moment of weakness. I didn't even know much about it.

Reason for 276 to have at least one pet, making sure you have a good picture of them on your phone that you can easily show people. If I get asked for an interesting fact, I can say I have 3 cats.
