Continuation from part 2, How is it that you chose your college? everyone goes by Rank of the college and the ratings, while I chose my college based on the distance from my house. I wanted to feel free, and do the thing's I've never imagined of.
I joined a college with physics, chemistry, mathematics and biology, from an average student studying was the least of my concerns in my 11th and 12th. The first thing I gave up in my college life is being an introvert. I made friend's, a lot of them actually. But the title says addiction, So what do you think I got addicted to? Smoking. But this time it was not cigarettes. I remember the first time I went to a hookah parlor. I could smell a weird but good froot-ish smell at the entrance which kept getting stronger and stronger the closer we went. 4 friend's including me bunked the classes and went for the first time. None of us really knew what we were up against. But we had to try, because you live for that moment; the moment when your adrenaline rush kicks and asks you to do all crazy things. I wasn't 18 at that moment so as usual was scared of getting caught. I can't help my mind with all such pessimistic thoughts, guess it is for the good.
So I smoked hookah along with my friends back then for the first time, did I get addicted to it? Is that even a question to be asked! I did. I started bunking every single day of my 11th and 12th and would end up in one of my two addicted places. One was the parlor, the second was the theatre. I would bunk along with a friend and go to the theatre to watch any possible movie of any language. So what was I actually addicted to? I was addicted to the adrenaline. It turned to be a habit, For two consecutive years from 2016 till 2017, I had been to almost every possible hookah parlors away from my surroundings. The choice of flavor was quite simple; nothing apart from a strong which would freeze the mind. It felt like a never ending happiness at that time until it was too late to realize that I had lost two years of my life by only smoking hookah and watching movies. I didn't even get my hall ticket to write my 12th then, it was that bad.
But no regrets, made plenty of friends and thousands of memories, good as well as bad which will stay for life time. But did I overcome the addiction of smoking hookah and watching movies? Stay tunes to find it out.
CYA!
