Those were the best days of my life… College Days

The majority of college freshmen enter into colleges picturing an easy, fun-filled life. This is a widespread college lifestyle we have grown up watching in movies. So we imagine it to be no less than a movie the perfect College Days.  We believe that college is the greatest time of one’s life. It’s all-new, many of us enjoy the idea of being late, leave whenever we want, and the parents, who make note of every single mistake we make, are pretty much out of the picture.

It’s all a different feeling in college Days. It’s no more time to wear a uniform and attend the morning assembly. You can be late and the punishment you may get is to roam around the campus and enjoy. By the last year, you really have left no place in and around your college campus where you spent hours with your friends in between classes.

Some teachers are friendly and few of them behave like Hitler, but who actually cares for their strictness, they keep ranting about how will they prepare a hard test paper to get all the class to learn their lesson of why were you not intimidated by his personality, what makes you take him so reluctantly in their classes but that is all the fun after all.  

There is no compulsion to study unless it is your choice, but definitely do assignments on time either it is your original or maybe you really have a good Friend to let you copy their assignments. I never thought I really could help my friends with proxies, but hey there wait, I was a pro by the end, definitely one more accomplishment but can’t be added to my resume.

I felt I was living my movie life. Every girl including me felt like walking a ramp with full fashion facades happening all around. I definitely will give credit to my college girl gang for enhancing my wardrobe. Thank you, girls.

One thing that becomes apparent in college is you are always broke. Broke millennial’s but still live the fullest.

The night before the exam was a full experience, being awake all night and try finishing all syllabi in just one day was a students’ superpower. In my hostel kettle wasn’t allowed which happens to be a universal truth I guess which is supposedly not allowed anywhere in college hostels I have heard about. But we still had it. It was used to make coffee and Maggi in shifts to keep us charged all through the night.

There are two categories of students the ones to whom grades matter and the second category consisting of maximum population who were only worried that they don’t get any backlogs. I was definitely a category one in this case.

Going on trips with your college friends is a lifetime memory to cherish. I was in school when I watched YJHD (Ye Jawani Hai Diwani) and from then I admire to go on a trip with friends on a train singing, dancing, and joking around the whole compartment. Staying in tents with friends, visiting places, paragliding, and trekking activities I did with them makes me smile every time I remember it. 

Hostel life has to be one of the best and interesting experiences in college. Walking into your room for the first time and then realizing you have to share it with a stranger haunts you for a while but you become friends for life and know more about each other than your parents and siblings. They become your ‘dukh-sukh ke saathi’. Despite so much love between the two, it can’t be denied that you are ought to indulge in a fight with your roomies at some point; possibly it could be a world war or a cold war, and once you are graduated you laugh over silly fights.

College life makes you grow up, mature, and help you in finding who you are, something you can’t accomplish without going to college. It gives you full freedom to take your own decisions, you become strong, independent, and develop a sense of right and wrong for yourself and for people around you. It gifts you with friendships you cherish for life. It is a roller coaster ride that you enjoy thoroughly. 

It is been a year since my college got over, and I realize those were definitely the golden College Days.

In between freshers and farewell, life happened.
