Making Memories By Rashmeet

Making Memories

 If you’re a college-bound high school junior or senior, this holiday break will probably find you completing campus visits, filling out forms, gearing up for the big test day, and completing any number of other tasks.

Take a moment amidst the chaos to mentally fast forward 3 year,to your farewell. What gifts will you take back from college with you?-The memories! Its good to have memories and even better to be able to recall them. No one would like to have vague recollections of the best phase of their life,isn't it?

So,here's a complete guide not only to make your college memorable but enshrined! 

1.Click Pictures

Click pictures to store memories and not just uploading on Facebook. Everybody tells you to record all the significant moments of your college life on camera, but I'd suggest you to click every mundane thing,click your routine tasks,click your messy dorm, click the tasteless food of your canteen, because you are going to miss everything once you pass out!

 Also,wouldn't you want to show your kids the pictures while narrating them you epic stories ?;)

 2. Preserve concrete things

The field visit. the historical trip, the nature walk- they all have an entry ticket. Try saving things like! Even though they seem ordinary bits of paper right now, someday in your life-they'll take you back to college days, and trust me that will be nostalgic!

3. Scrap-booking

Once you’re settled into your dorm set aside a junk drawer for random news clippings, orientation pamphlets, student ID cards, and other memorabilia. Later you can organize everything in a “Freshman Year” album that will reduce your mom to tears…in a good way.

4 Plan get to-gathers

Instead of just telling your friends(outsider the college) and family the heroic saga of your college times, invite them to your wonderland itself! Don't go hunting places for reunions, rather plan it in your own campus and have gala time.Call your friends and family to attend college fests!

My First Day At College By Sarabpreet kaur

My First Day At College 

Have you guys ever thought 'what your first day at college will be like or should be like?'. I have and  I'm sure you all must have.

I still remember my first day at college. I had looked forward to this day from my school days. I woke up early, which was quite unusual. Obviously, I had to get ready and be on time. After reaching the college, I entered with a mixed feeling of excitement and frightening fear of ragging. I found out from the reception that G-5 was my classroom. I entered the class as if I was entering a new world where I knew nobody and without even looking at anybody I quickly grabbed a seat on the first bench.

I felt awkward sitting in the class doing nothing. So, I thought of exploring my phone menu. Few minutes later, a girl came and sat next to me. Her name was 'Inu Agarwal'. I need not to tell you what happens when two girls meet as strangers,  they either becomes best friends or end up becoming enemies. Fortunately, we managed to become best friends. Soon chatting around became normal.

After few minutes, the bell rang. First lecture was about to start and a teacher entered the class 'Ms. Rekha'. She introduced herself and asked us to introduce ourselves to rest of the class. Everybody gave their introduction and soon the lecture came to an end. Rekha ma'am left the class and we all went to the canteen where our seniors were waiting for us to rag.

Everything went smoothly.  I met many new people, some of them became my very good friends. I was a bit nervous at first but when the day ended I was quite happy. Though, it wasn't really a very special day.

  

LIFE AS A FRESHMAN AT DU By GARIMA BAWEJA

LIFE AS A FRESHMAN AT DU

It’s hard to forget the freshman year of college life. Getting into college, or I must say getting into Delhi’s top most university is the most versatile and exuberant experience one can ever have!
It is a lot more than the earlier routines of school life, the habits, the workload, the feeling; life as a Duite is altogether a different feeling. In general, it is a time filled with anticipation, anxiety and a whole lot of wonderful discoveries, new people, new surroundings and everything!
It is the most important and fruitful phase of your life. These three years decide for your future, if used aptly may lead you to the top and too many wrong moves might end you up nowhere. But one does not have to be too grumpy and drudged all the time. All it takes is some planning, hard work and sheer determination to get to the top!
Your college life is the right place where you can discover yourself- your passion, your hobbies, your strengths, abilities and weaknesses and yes you can always work on them as your college life is the platform for growth and skill development. You get to learn a lot more things apart from studies. Discovering your passion and working on it can help you make a bright career- and what’s more exciting than making your passion as your career!
My message to the upcoming freshers is that enjoy your college life to the fullest as it is the best time of your life and yes stay focused on your goals!

Life Happens!!!!! By Jaidita Seth

Life Happens!!!!!

When I first started writing this blog it took me exactly 5 hours to come up with it, and it still looked stale. Emotionless 500 words, which even i could not relate too.

Then I cut down my draft to 200 words and it somehow started to make sense, but still there was something missing .

I’m sitting on the floor of my bedroom, glancing at my left arm. I pulled up the sleeve just a little bit and rolled my arm to the right, just so that I can see it better.

Then all of a sudden my friend called me and we talked for an hour, how we have changed and how we thought we would be and how we ended up and to all our amazement  happier than we thought.

As much as I would love to call that a coincidence. I believe everything is connected and everything happens for a reason.

So don't get disheartened in this race of cutoff and colleges. What matters is the course and  your love and dedication to the subject .There is a reason to why you're in that course. as to why you had such a hard time ,or as to why life did not turn out to be as you had planned.

There is always a reason and one day it will find you.

Just as how I found mine you'll find yours.

Har ek friend zaroori hota hai! by Grishma

Har ek friend zaroori hota hai!  

Once you start with your college you will meet different kinds of people. These people slowly and gradually become your friends. So here is a list of friends you will make in your college life. They might be annoying, crazy, possessive, and weird but all you know is they are your friends and you have to like and be there for them anyway cause Har Ek Friend Zaroori  Hota Hai!!!

 

 
The Smart Friend: 
These are the kind of people who are walking encyclopedia. They know everything about every stuff. These friends answer your questions, clear your doubt, and sometimes even do your homework. They are angels for you and your grades

The Neutral Ones: 
These are the kind who are sweet but they become so sweet sometime that you just want to kill them, they don’t have an opinion about anything. You will ask them something and they will just give you a complicated answer or say hmm! They are never assured of what they want.



May I ask for a favor buddy:   

 
Friends like these are the one who text, call or meet you once a year, you be all happy that finally they remembered you and end up knowing all they wanted was favor. They can ask for any kind of favor like picking them up, liking their FB page, fixing them up with your friends or cousin and you being true friend cannot refuse what they ask for.

             

 
Love Guru: 
They are your relationship adviser, they fix dates for you, and they help you get over your EX’s. They are always there for you when your love life is suffering from crisis.  The irony is that in most of the cases the love guru’s are single.





The updater : 
 
These are the most common friends you find these day, they always keep updating stuff on social media, it seems like they like writing dairies and their personal diary is Facebook, twitter, and instagram. They will post everything from your ugly selfie with them to the lunch they had.

    

The owner: 
These kinds of friends who don’t suggest stuff they just state them. They talk to you and order you as if they owe you.  They like to boss around everyone, these friend will make you do stuff they like by hook or crook.

Brother from another mother: 
 
These are the kind of friends you cannot live without they are like family. You do all the stuff with them from going to college to going your cousins wedding. The world is a better place with them. You have an extra concert ticket you take them, you have a doctor’s appointment you go with, and your teacher asks you, your parent’s number, you give them their number. They are your better half, these friends be with you forever (BFF)

   

 
The Half: 
These are the kind of the people who are just half friends because their other half is in their girlfriend or boyfriend. They are total relationship freaks. These people use to be your close friend once but one fine day they got into a relationship and since then all they do is babu, janu, sweety, love and stuff. You always end up with hanging out with both of them or hearing their stories by one of them.

              

Emotional  pals: 
These are really cool people you hangout with, go for rides or movie and everything is fun then but suddenly at the end of the day s/he starts sending you  texts thanking you for everything . They  thank you for being in there life, helping them, buying a coke for them and they say stuff like love you, never leave me. These people are really emotional but sweet at the same time.
 

  
Blue moon : 

These types are not always in contact with you. You don’t text them on whatsapp or facebook daily. 
You talk to them or see them once in several months but they are special. 
They are always there for you, they will be by your side whenever you will need them. You just love them, no matter how it has been you will feel the same no changes in either one of you.

              

 
Dirty minded: 
These friends have amazing talent of turning everything into something dirty.  
If you are around all you will hear is dirty and vulgar jokes. They make you laugh all the time with their funny dirty humor and sometimes you end up laughing all alone remembering them and their joke.
