Okay, the decision that I made that turned out badly was my decision to shift in with my friends. During my university life, I initially lived in a house that I rented with one friend, and we lived there for two years. After that, I made the decision to move in with my other friends. There were eight of us who rented a place together, and it turned out to be a very bad decision for me. The circumstances were that after shifting to my friends' house, we had a lot of friends living together, and we wasted a lot of time gossiping and going out. We did not actually have time to study. I think this decision affected my studies because when we lived together, we wasted more time gossiping and doing other things like playing and going out. I didn't have time to study or manage my time for myself. From this experience, I learned that it's better to stay alone and maintain some distance. It's not necessary to have many friends; it's better to have a few close friends, two or three, who are like-minded and will support you and help you move forward.
