Like every class 12 student, Shreya Singh, was excited about her life after the board exams. An ambitious, 20 years old, was decisive about what she wants to pursue next and had started looking for the best colleges and institutes. Then COVID-19 struck, leaving her feeling uncertain about her 2020 plans as she wondered how her first year of college would be like without face-to-face classes. How will she feel comfortable with the teachers whom she has not met in person or bond with her batch-mates without on-campus introductions?

Today, Shreya has forgotten all about the uncertainties and questions that bothered her. She is busy contemplating what questions she is going to ask to the who’s who of the creative world that are interacting with her and her batch-mates at the Pearl Academy Mumbai campus, where she has enrolled for the Entertainment (Media & Communication) UG program.
