When for the first time , we Hostlers , enter this new world, most of us don't feel quite comfortable. Leaving their house , their friends , families and entering into an entirely different and a new place. Merging with new people and adjusting into the surrounding seems very difficult at first, but slowly you start finding familyhood in those faces who once were strangers to you.

Initially you make a lot of friends ,then your friends group starts getting consiced , many friendships break, many new friendships start and you start feeling if at all you will find your right group or not.

That's the time when you miss your old friends the most .Though some of your old friends aren't that close to you now but some are still closest to your heart.

And finally when you complete one year of your college after adjusting quite well,it's time for you to go back home for a long vacation and you start having a sort of mixed feeling.

Where on one side you want to rush back to your family whom you haven't met for a long time , on the other side there is this feeling of separation from your college friends that's hard to bear.

Once you reach home , you meet your friends and family and realise something's changed.
Your daily routine is altered to whole new level and here you get your first scolding from your mom. " You never used to shout at me when I was at hostel " and this phase change brings a bit of irritation in you .

Though catching up with your old friends is a delight but missing your new friends is painful.
You are in a situation where you want to enjoy with your college friends while being at home , but when the reality strucks you hard , you realise that's how life is. Nothing is permanent. One day you meet these new friends who would become your family , the next day you go for your further studies and those friends might not be still that close to you . This transition is quite hard for you but here you are spending your vacations with your family. You go to New places , enjoy your holidays , fight with your siblings , eat tasty food made by your mother which you've been craving for ,since long and you realise there is nothing like "Ghar ka khana".

Slowly and steadily you get comfortable living in your house and you realise it's time to go back . And yet again you are in this dilemma where you don't know you want to stay at home or go back to college.

While you've been in constant touch with some of your hostel friends , but to some you haven't talked a lot during vacations. With a feeling whether you will still be friends with them or not, you head towards your college bidding goodbye to your family and your old friends. This series continues for a very long time , in every year of your college and then when you go for your higher studies and even when you get a job outside your hometown and you realise that's how it is and you have to adjust to this change . Because change is the only constant you would see in the world.
