Gulping down breakfast after a quick shower, you put on your dress freshened with some deodorant and leave for college, At the Entrance you give yourself a final look and set your hair in the rear-view mirror. Then you enter your class after meeting some friends, 15 minutes after the lecture has begun. You select the last bench behind a huge and tall guy and patiently wait only to sign the attendance sheet.
Almost all students keep gazing at the professor but with their minds somewhere down in the canteen or at the door, waiting for `that someone' to come or thinking of that special appointment you have on that day. There are a handful of sincere first-bench-students, who attend each and every lecture and have all the detailed notes, which the outstanding students, (students who are always standing out) can photocopy a few days before the examinations. Joking and gossiping from behind your Economics book or playing cross and knots in the most boring lecture during which half the class is already snoring, were some of the methods adopted to kill time. By the end of the lecture, everyone is restless and keeps glancing at their watches, slamming books and dropping bags. The professor mercilessly continues teaching.
The thrill of bunking lectures, the fun of partying or going for movies and picnics, the joy when you receive the long desired `yes' from the one you have always loved, or the embarrassment of facing the person you were talking about, who all the while was standing just beside you, are truly unforgettable times.
Who can forget the numerous pranks we played. The first time we spoke or were introduced to the one we secretly admired and loved. Shadowing a belle till her home. Selecting the best place in the canteen and grabbing the opportunity to talk and sit beside her. The naughty smiles, the comments of friends, passing your critical opinion of those you envied and hated. The taste of tears when you lost your friends, the heartache when you were ditched and dumped. These are moments that can make emotions flow at any time in life..
I will never forget my college years, they have been the best years in my life till now. I have seen, learnt and experienced so much.
I have found friends, some didn't care and drifted apart. I will always remember my favorite place in college, my professors, all my friends, those innocent and decent faces of people who turned out to be devils in disguise. All the twists in the kaleidoscope of life are experiences that have helped me mature. I will cherish them forever.
So enjoy your college life because these moments will never come again. At the same time don't forget that it is not your own but your parents' money which you spend. We owe a lot to them but we don't realise it. Don't be the cause of embarrassment, shame and disgrace to them. At least make an effort to stand-up somewhere close to their expectations. Remember just a few moments can ruin your entire future.
