Good Times Pass By Fast

Good Times Pass By Fast

As the summer vacations came to the end and time came to join Amity, I had mixed feeling. I felt really good because unlike many, Amity was my first choice in a huge list of colleges, I was nervous as it was my first time away from home alone, I was excited to meet different people and was sad to leave friends and family behind.

I remember my first day in Amity so clearly as if it was just yesterday. After doing college registration, time came to say goodbye to papa and mummy. It was emotional. Now I was all by myself between a group of people I never met before but same was for the others and this common feeling created a bond and unity and there was already a friendly and family like atmosphere in hostel.

First few days were sufficient to know that this journey of 5 years was not going to be a smooth one. The only difference I felt between school and college was that in school I had fewer assignments to do! In the first month we had a huge class with over 80 students than this section was divided into two. I was sent in a section with very few hostlers and thus I had to part my ways with the friends I made. It was kind of a new start again. Thankfully with  minors on head, I got a little time to think about the rest. After minors time flew and majors came and thankfully the first semester came to  the end.

After the first  semester I made some really good friends in college and in hostel , this made life whole lot easier. With 2^nd semester on I learnt how to deal with things. In this semester i realized that minors were just minors and not majors. As I eventually got acclimatized to things, I actually started enjoying life. Semesters past, I parted ways with some friends, made some new ones , some really good friends and friends I could call my best buddies. Now in eight semester, when I look back on the things that worried me in initial semesters I actually laugh. Although I have one more year left in this college but maximum of my friends will be leaving this year and so I kind of feel that this is my last year as well. I cannot believe that the people I did not know four years have now become an integral part of my life.

 Before getting into college I thought that college life was all about fun, enjoyment, chilling out with friends, happiness but now I can say that along with all these things college life also teaches some very important lessons of life, it train you for future and it is much more fun.
