College Life

I remember setting foot through those college gates and feeling invincible. Having dreamed of this day throughout my teenage, it was certainly a very heavenly moment. College is a place where you can unload your teenage baggage and start over new. There are no ghosts of the past to haunt or douse you into emotional turmoil. You may come across as a person with the same humanoid form but with a better you, having your personality as the axe as you wedge towards something new. It’s a place where you find more like yourself; grow profound into your absurdity, or put on an academic veil. If even that appals you, then grow a thick mane, pick up a guitar and strum with your heart and sing through those college years. The idea is to giving yourself a fair chance at discovering your potential, for these years are the ones which will give direction to your future.

Now college life is sometimes too overrated, especially if you are a big fan of Hollywood/Bollywood movies. So, if you are about to step intoyour college with a fancy image of having a “21 and Over “out there, let me break this to you, this is real life. Here, the possibility of something fun frolic yet stupendous has its own set of limits. You can’t stretch out your new found freedom beyond an extent because, first point, parents do exist and second, there is something known as GPA, which when shoots down too low, may prove to be a hindrance to your college life. There is another option too to having a fun college life , you might consider having a ‘bindass’ life like Aamir khan in ‘Rang De Basanti’, where even after passing out of college you may choose to stay on campus and become the Royal Graduate . But here is the discouraging part; Aamir had a family business in the form of a Dhaba to sustain his continuous crazy escapades. If you aren’t from a family with a business to look back at, you might want to cross that idea out, unless your Bf/Gf is a millionaire, in which case you may disregard my advice. If you are a geek, and tend to venture out at clubs waiting for a girl to break your heart, so that you get drunk out of depression and have your  ’Social Network’ moment, it’s high time you get back to your books , because there will always be one Facebook and one Zuckerberg, moreover Zuckerberg didn’t become a genius because of a heartbreak.

So, disparting from the overrated stuff, I would like to avail this opportunity to give this message out to the beloved fellow college goers, don’t be disheartened if your college life isn’t as awesome as you had imagined it to be, or if you didn’t get into the society you wished to get into, or your academics are in turmoil, or your hot classmates are already dating your seniors making you the innocent onlooker, it’s not the end of the world. Things much worse could have happened. If this offers any consolation, I would just like to welcome you to THE REST OF US. Cheers!!!
