#College #Life - A #Myth by Nishtha Nagpal

College Life - A Myth

Okay, so dont be a little disheartened but yes this is correct, COLLEGE LIFE- A MYTH.


Most of the students step out of school with so many hopes to do something or the other that they always wanted to but couldn't because of parents, circumstances, teachers. So, 99% of students think that college will be the most happening place in this world, but wait a minute guys, before all your expectations crash down, just give it a thought again. You think being an adult is easy, noo, it burdens you down with so many responsibilities that you can't even think of. Each and every fresher steps into college with alot of aspirations, I was also one of them. Like other freshers, even i stepped in thinking college life will the best phrase of my life, no doubt it was good, but not the best. We also set expectations high only to realize that they always hurt. Most of the students criticize their school,their life, their routine. They don't realise what they have till the time it is gone. 

 
College is a place where students feels like a free bird and yes it does make you like one, but remember even the birds need to sit back and relax. You are a free bird it is always good to explore up all the opportunities. It will give you exposure, confidence, self independence and yes stress too.  We do enter with so much of excitement but it only last for a month. That is when students want to fit in, they try to be a part of the group, a group that has nothing to do with your choices. Some way or the other, it creates pressure in the mind of students. When it comes to pressures, yes, just when you get a little settled up in college, you have your semester exams. Another problem creator. Studies in school and college are way too different, it's like north and south poles apart. You need to study on your own, yes teachers help you out but not the way they did in school. All these things continue, and makes you want to go back to school again. No matter how much you criticize your school life, it will always be the easiest and the best :)

  1. Blogs are supposed to be personal opinions but you are kinda generalising your personal experience. There are many people I know who had repugnant life in schools preparing for competitive examinations. Their life elevated in a colossal amount in college. They achieved much more than they expected in college life. People are anticipating and looking for happiness 😊 in "future" while they fantasise over it & procrastinate important things thinking about past.
    Anyhoo, its a good read and I would certainly like to read more. 😆

    1. A blog can be written in many different ways and there is no such complusion to write down the whole thing like a story. Moreover, every individual has his/her own personal experiences and can express whatever one feels like. The hastags, ya they were edited by the editorial board at TOI office, who ofcourse know what is to be added and what know. Pleasure that you read. Stay tuned.
