Around the Best Times in College

Years After ....

It’s Senior Year! The most exciting time of your life up to this point. You are nearing the end of a twelve year journey that you really thought would never actually end. Finally! But there’s so much to do….. pictures, papers, graduation invitations, homework, life, AND… college. Oh yeah, learning doesn’t end after high school. I don’t know about you but I was so ready to go to college, or so I thought.

I went to an EXTREMELY busy school. I’m talking really busy. There were two other girls in my graduating class. That was it. I loved it and while I was ready to be done with high school I was not quite ready to leave my school. I cried when I gave my speech on graduation day. That was my family and I knew I would not see them near as often as I had in the past two years that I had attended the school.

The summer leading up to my first year of college was intense. I had just entered a relationship two months before I graduated. I was hired to work at a summer camp. And, I had to actually get ready for college. I knew I would be busy. The summer went by fast and before I knew it I was packing for college. I had the logistics down. Boxes were labeled and everything fit perfectly in my car. But I don’t think I was or ever could have been mentally and emotionally prepared for the next step in my life.

This was college. At least once a week I was having a crying fest for myself. This is what I feel like you can never be prepared for as you go to college. I am closer to my parents than most kids but I feel like everyone to some extent will go through this and there really isn’t a way to deal with it. I’m still struggling with this. Being away from home is seriously the hardest thing in the world. I don’t know how to encourage you with this other than, it does get better.

Appreciation for Friendship...

My appreciation for friendship has grown immensely since coming to BIT. I went through a few sour friendships in high school, and it took me a while to realize it. Friendships in college mean a lot because for those 10 months out of the year, they’re your family. I eat dinner with my best friends almost every night, my friends and I wish each other luck on tests like a mom would do, and we are all practically living with each other as if it were a house.

FINALLY...

It was great experience being here.4 years I learnt many things…. Now when I look back I feel the changes. It’s the similar feeling I had when I graduated from school years back.. how time changes and how life keeps on moving without a pause. People come !! people go !! We laugh we cry !! Some really low moments !! Some really high !! Life is so beautiful in its own way

All I can now recall is that first presentation when I was shivering with stage fear!! Those events TEXUS we organized !! first event I hosted..those proxies.. talks.. Hanging out at corridors and library every now and then.. bunking classes...Improvements… Exams…. IV's….kochi...Bangalore..and finally wyanad.. Life was always fun and exciting here..

I have learnt very good problem handling skills and stress management. How to meet deadlines ;)… by completing a week long assignment overnight. All those group tasks which compelled us to stay up all night with our gang talk on. All those frequent semester exams !!...uffff

But the best times were in class, getting punished together, copying,sight at girls, shouting nicks, getting caught for eating during class, sa re ga ma pa, food fights, truth or dare blah blah..I don’t think this will ever go away. There was a “group” in the past, which eventually started developing into something else totally, a few of us left, new people came in, and there still are mini groups amongst the group but then together, we’re all one bunch of goofy kids who just got along well and from hating each other,  now have each other’s backs ALL THE TIME. Now I don’t know whether our friendship will be as strong as this in the future and we might not even be around all the time, but I’d like to live in the moment, and as of this moment, you people mean the world to me and you’re all the best. Cheers to all these years of fun and for the years to come. 

I would love to mention the names of people who were always there for me… whether we talk daily or not and those who were always there for me as a life supporting system…. But I’ll not because I don’t wanna hurt anybody my skipping their name by mistake… :D…. those who are special for me know this and understand this.

 

ME...

I understand how much I have changed with the time spent in college. 4 Crazy years and I stand out as a completely different person, I am today.

Time to grow up. I ‘actually’ have to. It’s hard to realise, but all of us have to realise.

I am cherishing some special bonds as well as forgetting some things I had been carrying since long. It’s an uncanny feeling altogether. 

Suddenly life goes on a slow motion mode. My friends are hugging me around, there are tears in my eyes, the ambiance is now different.

The thought of friends being replaced by colleagues is lingering in your head

I have mastered the art of self control. Of course after staying with all types of people, be it hyper, angry, chirpy or emotional. As now I am trained to handle them all!

Cafe is no more ‘THE’ spot. From now that will probably change..

I want to drown Myself in Vodka, party hard and live the moment with my friends. #OneLastTime

I check all ma pictures from first year till now. The makeover from being ugly to pretty! And some of my stupid status updates regarding college life. I am judging myself right now. #MemoriesMade

Today was my last exam of last semester and now my college is officially over…. And I am an BTech now…. I dunno whether to smile or to feel sad…. But I choose to be happy :-)…. 

Touchwood I feel blessed because whenever I look back I find my people standing there for me… :-) 
Now, I am going to start with my professional life… I just wish all my friends and acquaintances all the best for their future endeavors… I hope to stay connected with you all…

It is hard to cope with the fact that i am losing my best friends. Some who knew literally everything about me. It is as though there is a void in me. And well, it is hard to believe it in the first place. But the truth is, life goes on. And you realise that there are many other people in this world who will ‘click’ instantaneously just like we did. And so you cherish all those goodtimes you had together, take a deep breath and well....
