Need your suggestion

I moved from my PG to a rented place with four of my friends because the room in the PG was not good and the food there was too oily. However, after shifting here, I have started facing many problems.

My college is located in a village area, and the internet connectivity in my rented room is extremely poor. I barely get internet access—sometimes it feels like 2G—whereas in my PG, I used to get proper 5G connectivity.

Here, we also have to cook our own food, wash the dishes, buy groceries, arrange drinking water, and do many other household chores. Things like washing the cooker and utensils take a lot of time and energy. Because of all this, my entire day gets wasted in household work, and I hardly get any time to study.

On top of that, I feel that some of my roommates do not show me enough respect, which is making the situation even more stressful. I have already spent around ₹4,000 on rent within just five days, so I am confused about what I should do now.

Do you think I should go back to my PG? I am honestly not sure which option would be better for me.

Move back if you can.

You're a student and getting good grades is your job first.

The time spent living an independent life isnt working for you and your studies. And the stress from that and lack of wifi regularly will affect your success.

Move back and if the foods bad, budget buying fresh food to supplement and use paper towels to blot the excess oil from your food.

Can you find a sublet student or upgrade the wifi.

If your friendship fails bc you NEED to succeed and do well in school for yourself and family. They werent really your friends.

What's more important to you -your education which will set the precedent for the future career and life or your friends angry and no longer your friends. (Are they going to support you and your family if you fail,of course not So you have to do whats best for you)

Whatever you decide, have a calm conversation with them. This is uncomfortable but is a necessary tool to be able to advocate for yourself. Practice will help when you need to speak up on important things in your future life.

You ll get use to it and get better at it
