Medical students have been dealing with rigorous academic pressure since the time they chose to become doctors. But in college, things are different. Students leave behind their parents to enter a world full of adversities. To deal with this sudden transition they need moral support and this they get from their friends. After all, MBBS is a long game and in order to survive, other players of this game have to be your companions and not competitors. You have to survive here and this survival is easy if you have your friends with you. After all, friendship is one of the greatest bonds anyone can ever wish for. It’s about care and love which we develop for other people with no relation of blood. The support from your friends makes difficult paths seem easy.
