So finally the much dreaded day arrived. Though it was a harbinger of my corporate life but this thought of ending of college life has been lurking in some corner of my mind from the past few days and making me a bit uptight.
Day before yesterday was the my last day at college...Though I had waited for this day for the past four years but now when this finally arrived I wanted to be the last thing to happen.
I had some great memories related to my college life and on the last day as I was sitting in the lawn and closed my eyes I felt re-living each of those memories…the first day, freshers, ragging, boring lectures, functions, the happiness at getting placed, the B’day bumps, the flood in hostel, training period which will forever be the best 45 days of my life , the tea in canteen, bunking of classes(mainly in first year because 2nd yr onwards we were confined to a prison a.k.a IT block), leg pulling of friends, our so called technical words (only members of our bhasad gang can understand it) etc. the list can go on endlessly. It felt as if it was just day before yesterday that we took admission, freshers on the nxt day and farewell today. The 4 years which seemed torturous and to be stretched for eternity then suddenly looked a very small span of time. The college which we detested four for years became a reminiscent of the best days of our life. And this loathing is because of the college or rather private college as a system. Otherwise this period of life was truly rocking.
I learnt a lot of things in college too, to deal with people, to put forth your views, to cope with sudden shocks both from colleagues and college authorities, to deal with some horrible teachers while at the same time gaining the best from good ones. And yes it helped me develop one more skills :- covering the whole syllabus in two days max irrespective of its size and then to pour (or rather vomit) whatever u know in the university answer sheet.
Yesterday was spent in getting the originals back from college so there wasn’t much time for other things apart from a small get together at a friend’s house.
But today all my friends left for their homes. I knew this would come some day but still made me feel a bit uptight. Afterall 4 yrs is not a small span of time. But like everything else this feeling will subside as time will pass.
