AN EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCE OF MY COLLEGE LIFE

As soon as we turn 18, we are filled with aspirations, fear, excitement and the adrenaline rush to be a part of college life and make it memorable for a lifetime. Mine was no different. I have used this platform to make a few but best of friends, gather the courage to present myself, be an extrovert and use the knowledge in real life applications.

July 2010 performed a 360 degree turn in my life. The environment was no more protective, I had to take care of myself for the most little of issues. College was unlike school where classmates usually were of the same thinking level as I was of. Here, everyone was different in terms of the places they came from, the lifestyles they led and of course their perspective of judging matters. Adjustment thus became a must. From the first day at college, we were put through ice-breaking sessions that helped us interact with one another; bridge courses that made us revise the subjects we were already familiar with and assignments that judged our skills in Computers.

I am a part of dual degree which definitely led to additional subjects of MBA along with the usual ones we studied each semester. Initially, this was a little exhausting as we worked six days a week instead of five, but slowly I realized my potential in the subjects that were taught and it was no more a routine for us. With studies, results tagged along which definitely improved in my case as I realized the importance of a good score.  

Friends and fun have made these past years thrilling than everbefore. It’s been a ride of a roller coaster with incredible people like Raghav, Shashank, Shubham and Archit who made sure that I didn’t feel left out in the worst of situations. Yes, I have watched back to back movies. Yes, I have feasted on food. Yes, I have screamed my lungs out while I danced and sang along with everyone else. But only because I had to make sure that these years left me with some of the greatest memories, forever friends and best of all worlds so that whenever I looked back, I would not stop smiling.

Adios!
