College is a journey from the infancy to the manhood. It isn’t a piece of infrastructure my friend. School memories have a permanent room in everyone’s upper story. The toddlerhood can best beenjoyedin a school. Each and every part of school becomes a part of yourself. You are what your school has taught you. School life is the best part of your life indeed. There are neither bitter past memories nor future tensions. School is all about scribbling lame jokes on the desk assuming it to be the coolest job, completing homeworks in class before the teacher arrives ,bunking physics classes thinking you can teach physics to the teacher, studying overnight for exams and never completing the syllabus before time. A school student is in a la la land the whole time except the rag and the pressure from the so called grown ups to do well in school . This seemed to be the saddest part of a school kid’s life but little that they know a whole real world is eager to hurt them.

From the la la land to the war zone ,this is how a student gets transferred from the school to the college. College life as a kid expects to be is an all time party scene. A school kid’s dream is to complete school as soon as possible to get into college so that they can live independently far away from their parent’s rants. No homework , no project deadlines, no hardwork and no “don’t do that its wrong” is what a fresher expects. ButUncle Ben was absolutely right that with great power comes great responsibility. College gives you wings but its your responsibility to learn how to fly. And during this learning process you’ll face many downfalls. Making sure your wings aren’t hurt and still taking off with the same enthusiasm is the biggest task in college. You’ll make friends,you’ll make memories for life but at the same time not forgetting your ethics and being grounded is challenging. Discardingyour roots in the midst of this smoky world becomes easier than speaking two words of care to your mom . But the only people who really care are your parents, rest will vanish with the smoke. Hard times will break you up from inside but keeping yourself strong within and extracting lessons for life from messed up situations is what college teaches you with time. Optimism is the key to success here. The trusted ones will be betraying ,you’ll feel alone but being a lone warrior will be taught by the college .The exigent demands of life will level up so will your surviving skills.After each crash landing , repair your wings ,oil your gears ,and take off for another flight. At the end you will evolve as a strong , independent, determined, optimistic warrior cherishing each and every moment made in the college good or bad, after all college is a journey for life not a piece of infrastructure my friend.
