Expectations Vs Reality

Yesterday, when I was about to sleep, I just recollected my childhood days. How I was fooled by the film industry and the sayings of my elders. You all may think what am I talking about this line/phrase everyone would have come across.

"After you get into a college the life is settled". Years passed and I was waiting for my 12th-grade results and realized my self in a comfort zone. I was, in fact, expecting a romantic, successful and a charming environment in the college. But after one month after sailing in the ship I realized that was not a ship but a total shit made out of me. I got fail marks in my subjects and did hard work similar to a donkey, passed my course works, got fewer grades. It repeated for the following semester. I didn't know what to do, I cried, yelled and tried every means of getting rid of this shit. Finally, became a psychopath, had to undergo counseling and then I recovered and enjoying my life today.
