So my college is done with (more or less) and its time to become an adult now. The best part of our life is over, school is over and so is college and its time to struggle now ,to earn now to get so busy with our work that we forget to breathe, that we forget to keep in touch and that we forget that there was ever a place called college where we had the time of our lives and where we met wonderful people. So before we forget let us remember all those who made this journey beautiful. So here I present a short recap of my college life and I hope you find your moments in here somewhere.
I entered college and I found it hard to talk to people. I basically had no motive to come to college but attendance. I had no friends, even though I used to play basketball with Devas, Mizan, etc but they were never really friends and that had something to do with the fact that I was a bit reserved. I remember coming to college with my headphones on and that was the way I stayed practically the whole day, that is if I stayed in college the whole day which was a pretty rare sight. I remember I even had to sign an attendance bond to give the first semester.
By the start of the new semester I had found a few friends. I remember our maths teacher assigning Abhishek to teach me some concepts and as it turned out rather than him teaching me I was telling him jokes and that guy was so fed up by the quality of the jokes that he wound up laughing not on the jokes but at the confidence at which I was cracking them. He became a really good friend at that time. Then through him gradually I became friends with Akshit, who is one of the most helpful guys I know. Whenever he can help you he will without a doubt. I also became friends with Raj who is one of the funniest guys I know and at the same time is a big harami. I remember he telling me totally the wrong course for the stats exam and he also studied the same and we both got a back. We had a few problems in the middle but till date he is one of the few people that I genuinely respect and enjoy his company.
I was at home for most of the third semester only coming to college in October and the first day that I came back the first memory is of Devas getting up and asking the whole class to clap for me in the most sarcastic of manner. In this semester a lot changed for me in college, I had a stronger bond with my friends and added three of the most amazing people in Mamta, Devas and Gautam to my friends. More on them later.
College was an amazing place to chill even when I didnt have many friends in the first semester I remember going to FOG with Devas, Gaurav, Yuvraj and Mizan and me and Mizan just beat those three in FIFA comprehensively. Then going to Vspot almost every week with Abhishek Akshit and Raj or be it going across college to eat rolls almost everyday with Devas and Gautam or going to "some place nice."The memory which stands out is the one where Devas me and Gautam played 1000 rs less on a bill and literally went running through the restaraunt and the streets of Khan market. I have had some of the most awesome times on trips be it Kasauli with Abhishek Gautam Devas and Nidhi or be it Manali college trip which was just a new level of crazy.
Some of the people I wished I had known better:
Sumedha- You are the most chilled out person I have ever known. No qualms about talking to anyone whatsoever. We share such a similar choice in music and I really really wish you make a successful singer. Uncle Uncle sooji hai? Forever.
Sakshi- I remember you sitting behind me on the first day of college and you were talking to someone and I was thinking how much can this girl talk. Then one memory is of you in the metro asking me how long have I been in a relationship and I was like 2 months and you said arre fir toh ho he jaega break up and I thought ye badi random ladki hai. But gradually as I saw you more in class I noticed that tu boht mast ladki hai and please waise he rahio. More recently I remember that you asked me if I wanted to copy your answer in the logic test and I love such friends! May you go scooba diving and keep in touch!
The three best people now!
Devas: Well what can I say about this guy? I remember him being the funniest guy in class since day one and i remember calling him from time to time to do certain mimicary. But I really became friends with him in the third semester where he became really close to me. He is one person you can always call when you feel low and he will just make you laugh and laugh. Sometimes he gets on your nerves as he is bloody self obsessed but nonetheless I have grown immune to him and his friendship I hope to cherish for life.
Gautam: Well the first memory I have of Gutam is him filling an attendance bond with me and he has always accompanied me on the road of studies. We start one night before the exam and we finish the course together on the phone. Me and Devas have really enjoyed getting his attendance cut and spoiling his name for the teachers on every occasion. But he has offered me some really crucial advice on crucial issues which has helped me a lot and still helps me and for that I hope to have him as a friend forever.
We three have formed the best "group" ever. We take peoples cases together and when there is no one to mock we mock each other to no ends.
Mamta: Last but never the least the most beautiful girl in college. I regret it so bad calling her a sister because she is so pretty. I remember telling her "she looks pretty today" everyday that I even stopped saying it because it was obvious. She is the most helpful person ever, she will do assignments for you and not say a word, she will keep reminding you to study which I will always refuse. The first memory I have of her is of a shy girl who never speaks and has a lovely smile but boy when she opened up she was a volcano of words. I will miss you so much but I wont because we will keep in touch. I love you.
These were the best years of our life and these three made it all the more special for me.
Best of luck to the best class and don't forget the tall boy who always had headphones on.

For all those who are just beginning college a few words for you.
I've learned one thing and that's to quit worrying about stupid things. You have four years to be irresponsible here, relax. Work is for people with jobs. You will never remember the time in class but you will remember the time you wasted hanging out with friends. SO stay out bloody late. Go out on a Tuesday when you have a paper due on a Wednesday. Spend money you dont have, drink till sunrise just dot worry about parents, permissions or what people will think or what your teacher will think or about that assignment or that weak subject because worrying and work never ever ends, but college does.
