Last Days of College
Saturday, August 26, 2006
I was looking out of the bus during my daily trip to the college,lucky to get a seat in the regularly jam packed bus,when I overheard a conversation of a couple of girls discussing their 'future' plans.Then I realised something that we knew all along but kept ignoring,we are in the Final Year of our graduation.
It seems like just yesterday when it was my first day of the college and suddenly all the things from the past came storming in,time really flies.But wait,am in the final year and that means there is just one more year,a few more months and we will be out of College.
While many of my friends must have been celebrating,for me the feeling grows pathetic by the day.How often do we miss out on the few small things in life that bring a smile on ourface?Yeah,pretty often!We have been leading such a mechanical life that it is rare when we find sometime to sit back and relax and things are going to get worse once you start working.
College is the place where we forget all pains and feel comfortable.So what is so cool about the college you might ask,starting from morning when there is a wild orgy just to get a toehold in the local bus to the college! or your Professor asking you to get out of the class for coming late withouteven looking at you! is that cool? or those assignments for which you have to go looking for the person who completes it so that you can Xerox it down!
What is it that makes it that interesting?I will say Everything,you are going to miss every single thing.The rush hour,those nightouts before exams ,those ubiquotious Xerox sheets,even what the professor you hate says daily and you seldom heed.Not to forget the gabfests at the canteen,the place that has as interesting history as the college itself!among a million other things.It is these small things that make life at the college interesting.
So folks ! Remember ! may be you have a job may be you don't,may be you will work abroad may be you don't.Even when you reach the highest echelons of your life,no matter how far you go,you will always miss your alma mater.So enjoy everyday of your college life!You will definitely cherish these days.Might not be completely fair or square but by now you deserve to bend a few rules.
