Capitalise on what you enjoy. Enjoy social media? Make a page, scale not just scroll Enjoy writing? Reach out to companies looking to get stuff written

All this can be done while happy with friends and classes.

You don't need to think what you want AFTER degree gets over

Not everyone can do this. What you are saying is applicable only if you are truly passionate about it and want to monetise it in the future. Most of the people have herd mentality who believe in go with the flow attitude. Sadly, the fear of failure is so high that, people just can’t think anything outside their course curriculum.

I’m sure many can relate to it- Thinking too much and before doing anything new worrying about what will other people say? Log kya kahenge?😓😓

I regret getting too comfortable in the college. All the years till my 12th I was told ki bas college me chale jao fir life achhi hai and right after I got into a good college, I became totally careless about my life career or life ahead. I just watched movies all the time and studied just enough to get good grades. I was in core branch and I should've talked to more and more seniors to understand if core is even worth pursuing or not. I just avoided any hard work and now I'm stuck in a career crisis while all my peers from core branch are doing good in their life because they realised the reality early and made a good career path for themselves.

In a nutshell, don't do just enough to get grades. Get in touch with seniors, alumni and understand the reality out in the world. Also, keep reading about new things, keep exploring things unfamiliar to you.
