Memories

We all dream to be a college student when we are at school.

Yes..!! I had the same thinking 

I thought that school was a place where we had to only study and stay disciplined. My thinking about a college was really very different. According to me, a college was a place to study and enjoy a lot. 

But now when I joined the college, I really understood the difference between what a school and a college is. My interpretation was wrong. 

Here is a small gist of the first day of my college.

My college began on 9th June 2022. I was not able to sleep during the previous night due to that excitement and curiosity for the first day of the college.

The next day when I entered the college, it was like a new world for me. We had an orientation session in the auditorium where we all were requested to sit.

The population I saw was four times the population of my school. The auditorium was totally packed. And when looked from the roof, people in the auditorium were looking like ants.

There were many new unknown faces. There were new teachers, staff and  management.

Different benches, tables, smart boards and everything different!

Now, making new friends was really a difficult job for me. I am a person with nature of shyness in myself but I really try to improve myself by becoming confident. I think many of us face the same problem.

I made a couple of friends that day but wasn't comfortable with them as compared to my school mates. We, in the college couldn't even to speak to each other as we were unknown for each other.

All the students had the same aim- 'to make new friends'

So we greeted each other and introduced ourselves.

Entering the college was a different feeling for each one of us. It was like a new world to climb a step further to achieve what we want. 

I met our new teachers and got an opportunity to talk to them. We met the Principal who was happily talking to us.

On the other side, I was sad too as I was no longer studying in my school. My friends were in different colleges.

When our friends get shuffled in different sections, we really become too sad.

Then just think the situation when we were shuffled among different colleges.

Leaving those lovely teachers who built us and made us what we deserve today, made me emotional.

I still remember the first day of my school when I cried and refused to enter the school. But today I cry to actually enter my school and study there! 

Now I really understood what the difference is between a school and a college!
