Intern Season made me cry

Hi all I am a Y24 who had just one shortlist on day 1 and I couldn't convert it to an offer....a bit of a long post ahead just to share my feelings so that I can get rid of all the negative thoughts coming to my mind right now. I am from Mechanical department with 8+ cpi and mostly targetted SDE roles in day 1. I prepared DSA a lot during the summers and completed almost the whole striver. I was hopeful seeing that so many new companies are there in day 1 that I will atleast get some SDE company. As the OAs started I didn't cheat so was able to do 1/2 or sometimes 2/3 questions in OAs but then I realised everyone is cheating and to get shortlisted u need to do all DSA problems completely so I started as well. I was doing good and was hopeful for atleast 3-4 shortlists based on my OA performance. But on 24th I got to know that I was shortlisted for only one SDE company which really broke me from within thinking like day 1 dreams are gone and all. But fortunately that one company was my dream SDE company and I was still a bit hopeful that I have prepared really hard and I can make it through it so I prepared my resume and revised Striver DSA sheet the whole night and couldn't sleep. On day 1 I went for my interview...the interviewer started asking few basic resume questions which I answered then he gave me a dp problem which I was stuck initially but eventually I got the dp state and recurrence and told him the soln but by then almost the time was over and he told me to wait. I thought doing that question was enough to get atleast to Round 2 but guess what I was told by one HR "You may go now". I was like "But sir I have next round also" on which he replied am sorry you are eliminated (His exact words). The guy next to me with whom I was discussing few DSA problems actually got an offer so kudos to him but I was completely devastated. The formals I was wearing felt like I don't deserve all this and my all hardwork was for nothing. I came back to my room and one my best friends ( Can't name him but ik if u r reading will understand I am talking about u) came to me and said "Lag gyi? Itni Jaldi kyu aa gya?" I just said 2 words "Kaat dia" and went to my bed and started crying(literally). I am thankful to God to get such a friend that he kept insisting me not to waste time on this now and start my prep again.... didnt had food since morning so he must have insisted me 100 times to come with him to have some food in mess as I was empty stomach since the morning but I just couldn't wake up and show my face to him or anyone. I started crying in front of my mother while in call just to tell her how much I have grinded the whole summer and still didn't get anything. Exact words of my mother were "Beta tujhe Jo bhi mile ham usse khush hai kyuki hame pata hai tune kitni mehnat ki hai bas kuch din aur.....". After listening to this I was like God has gave me friends and family so loveable and I can't make them happy by just calling them and saying "Mummy lag gyi intern". Trust me when ur parents see u get something for which u woked hard they are much more happy than u r. This post might feel a bit useless as day 1 pe na lagna is very common and kaafiyo ki nhi lagti but the thing is when u don't get something for which u really worked day and night then tbh yrr thora to bura lagta hi hai. But anyways ab thora halka lag rha hai after sharing all this and will start the grind again. And those of u who didn't get day 1 just talk to your parents and friends share with them and start again....this intern season really made me realise who are actually my true friends in this campus.....
