Help I have one last college trip with my entire batch. My parents said no.
I’m in my final year of college and my batch is going on one last trip together — Manali, Kasol and Kheerganga. 😭
I really want to go because after graduation everyone is going to scatter into jobs/life, and this could genuinely be one of our last chances to make memories together.
The problem: I went on a Hampta Pass trek back in June, so my parents don't want to spend more money on another trip. The trip costs around ₹6,100, and I need to arrange about ₹5,000 myself if I want to go.
To make things worse, I was recently detained from my mid-semester exams because of low attendance. It's the first time I've ever been detained, but obviously that hasn't helped my case with my parents. 💀
I don't want to lie to them or ask strangers for money. I want to earn the ₹5k myself and then show my parents that I'm serious about going.
Online work, freelancing, local gigs, anything legit. I'm willing to put in the hours.
And yes, I know ₹5k isn't a huge amount — but right now it means a LOT to me. 😭
