A Cup of My College Life

-Aishani Ghosh

‘Hey ya peeps how y’all doing?’ That's what you say when you try to reach out to people after like 6 months or so right? Nevermind.

Sorry for coming up with this writing so late, of course procrastination and laziness is the villain (somebody help me out please ;_;).

So its been 6 months since I've started going to college (such weight). Anyways this opens an opportunity to share some open handed experiences on how it feels to get into a college in the first place, and do I regret it? Ah, I'll let you people decide from the points I put down below :)

In a world full of Zoe and Zeldas, there exists a paradigm named ‘college’ which varies by name and location to different people but more or less brings the same occurrence to all, smh. So say I got admitted in xyz college and with reference to my bio its an engineering college *hurray*.

 I remember it was my admission day when I explored my college for the first time and yes did I like it, I loveeed it! Specially the library was indeed something to go gaga over. For one seldom moment I thought maybe this is something I've always wanted, maybe it is that opportunity life is giving and I'm never going to come out unrewarded. How much the thought was concentric, that is to be seen in coming years(wish me luck…nah..wish me hard work :3).We had our orientation day where through visuals- we had complete tour to our college, the rules and instructions we were to abide by for the next 4 years(sigh) and were made acquainted to our professors and seniors. 

From the very first day I was somehow cynical and timid, had too much crowd of ill thoughts about everything, ‘how the seniors are going to be, the professors..if they are too cruel, and of course if I made no friend..oh God I'm messed up’, but the thought cloud was popped up (in anime style) soon, as I made some(more than some less than many) good friends who could accompany me in my hard days to come :'3 Moreover I'm lucky about the fact that every senior I met was helping and kind so were my professors.

The subjects which were completely new - ‘Humanities’ and ‘Engineering Drawing’, jeez how tough it was to carry that T scale and sheet holder and availing a bus or an auto. It was fun to mix up with the new environment for the very new time but after the first class test was over that zeal to remain attendant also faded away. In addition was the abundance of outings and freeman adulthood played its poker as well. How important it was to keep in touch with studies too could be felt before the semesters(well it came too soon blame the time). Semester ended with that ‘will be very heedful from next time’.

This is how the 6 months went by, struggling with the journey, people, life and cloture of a fantasy.

On this context, of course I miss my old school friends much, you'll need a subtle mental strength when you cannot see much familiar faces, the faces which you grew up with, played with, shared life tales with and left your adolescent phase with, period.
So some wise man(the editor) said,

 ‘true friends are never apart, may be in distance but never in heart’

One most important thing I would like to mention is that the friends I made in college don't serve as a good source of spicy foods ;_; making the void rather bigger.

Time flies away, and so will your life, whatever life presents to you, accept that with a happy face. Even if you do not have all ingredients of your choice, you have to cook a special dish out of it anyway. That's what life's all about. You can't complain, you need to be elastic. So with this pinch of positivity, 'wake up.kick ass.be alive.repeat.'
Until next time, good fortune folks.
