When the life gives you thousand reason to worry , find a single reason to be happy. Keep on Keeping On!!One day everything will be all right.
Okay!!! Today I am here to share my personal experience . I am sure everyone of you have experienced this . Yeah!! That's my college first day.
We everyone have heard this ,when we were in our school, “If you study hard and get good marks, you will enjoy in your college days”. It's a SWEET LIE , I found it as soon as I entered my college.
Actually, I had dreamt of college life as we seen in the movies. They don't study like we studied in our school. They don't stay in the college all day, if they get bored they can skip the classes. There will be full of celebrations. They all happily roam the college with their friends . They usually keep their ID cards in their pockets. They pass the exams by cheating. Movies have portraited the college life as fun filled and enjoyable. I thought, I am going to have this fun on the very first day.
Finally, the day comes. I was waiting for my college bus at my bus stop. Literally, I was thinking , as we seen in the movies, there will be dance and songs will be there in the college bus. I am going to enjoy this.
The bus arrived, with a mind full of excitement and a little fear, I get into the college bus. As soon as I entered the bus, I don't know where to sit means I became nervous and I don't have the time to search for a better place . Because as soon as I get in the bus, the driver started the bus. I don't want to be a joker by falling down on my very first day. So I took the first seat.
I was expecting something entertaining like songs, dance or little talks. Or just someone will talk to me . But actually nothing. Surprisingly a camera was placed in the front and watching all of us. In my mind, I said," Thank you, you are noticing me right?".
Breaking the huge silence, someone started playing a song in his/her phone. I feel like," OK , NOT BAD!!". Suddenly, someone started to shout, “Hey!! who's playing the song. Stop it. If you want to hear songs, use your headphones. Don't disturb others ,Ok!!”. I turned back and seen, who is shouting. She is one of the faculties. Later , I came to know faculties are also travelling with us. I thought why is she shouting for playing the song, Actually no one is studying there. Everyone is just looking their phone and watching videos.
As I am sitting in the front, by looking in the mirror I can see what everyone's doing. Actually, they were not even talking to each other. They were simply scrolling their phone. Then Suddenly all their heads turned left almost everyone for 5 seconds, Because there was a small river on our way to college. As soon as we crossed it, they were back to their positions. That's the only movement I watched in my 1 hour travel.
As we entered the college, I don't know where to go. Because every block looks alike. We were instructed to assemble in the auditorium. I thought they are going to conduct welcome party or something like that. Somehow I managed to find the auditorium, the thing happened was not a welcome party but the welcome speech. The speech started with, "Don't expect your college days like you have seen in movies. It's totally opposite". After an hour speech, we have sent to our respective department and they started teaching. "REALITY BEATS THE EXPECTATIONS".
Now I understand everything clearly, why my brother warns me before I am getting into this engineering college. But from the beginning of my third year, I enjoyed very much. We had more fun even more the fun that has been shown in the movies. I will share with you in my upcoming blogs.
Later, I found out that the camera in the bus is actually DUMMMYY!!!
If you have some memorable moment during your first day, share with me in the comments…..
