Back to College!
ollege days are one of the most unforgettable times in a student’s life for a combination of reasons. Many students are happy on knowing about their college re-opening, while there are others who have bitter memories connected to this phase. So, it’s both a good and a not-sogood feeling for college goers. Many prefer life beyond just sitting in a classroom for hours together and listening to lectures, but there are others who love the feeling of waking up early in the morning with an urge to reach college as early and leave as late as they can. A fine line is drawn between reluctance and enthusiasm, fun and seriousness, indolence and avidness, but at times, a combination of all these factors. What makes college life boring, yet interesting? Let’s hear it from a few below ‘ It is a wonderful feeling after getting back home from a strenuous exercising at the gym. The change in atmosphere, friends, the special place at the college canteen where your ideas are generated out of which, most of them are insane. At times the huge summer gap gets even broader than it is supposed to be. Getting back to a place where you always belong holds a special place’ – Amir Khan, Badruka College. ‘Holidays have always been fun. But after the college re-opened, the fun added on. There is always something exciting happening in college everyday and you get to meet a lot of new people. While in college, I am always occupied in either listening to music or to the new gossips or struggling hard to complete stressful assignments. No matter what, at least I always wait for a new day in college, be it even after having a bad day or a catfight with friends’ – Saloni Gulati, St. Francis.

‘Well, my summer break was fun! I travelled a lot and met my cousins too, so I had a very nice time on the whole. In fact, I was waiting for the college to re-open. But when it is open, I now find it a bit boring. But now, I am getting used to the routine. So now I feel that my life is back to normal and I am liking it’ – Prerna Kulkarni, St. Francis. ‘It feels like I got a new life altogether. There is more to life than just eating and sleeping’ – Aashita Agarwal, St.Francis.
Opinions from
Students
I love my college! It’s amazing to get back to college after summer holidays, as I get to meet all my friends where I have a gang of friends. Now that I am in my third year, I want to create fun filled moments before I walk out as a graduate. Getting caught while eating chewing gums, playing music in the class, King Kong Hi-5s are a few memories, I will always remember’ – Siddanti Bodhu, St. Francis.
‘College seems too hectic. But it will get back to normal soon. A second year student like me will be excited about the IDEs. Hopefully, it will be a good experience and I am happy that I am back on schedule. Summers are unbelievable’ – Abeer Rasheed Khan, St.Francis.
‘Feels good to go back to a routine and hanging out with friends everyday’ – Roshni Banerjee, St. Francis.
