The New End

So college comes to an end. Feels weird. Sad? Yes, but not that much anymore. I don’t know why. I was quite sad a few days back, didn’t want to leave all of this behind. After all, college has become everything for me. A second home, (honestly more home-like than the first) with my closest of friends living in it, all the “bakchodi” done over the years, all those amazing professors and their lectures (yes, I’ll miss lectures too). What else do you need. And the fact that I have to go a semester in advance made me even sadder. Never knew the difference betweenm 3.5 and 4 years would have such an impact. But all of that sadness, it’s suddenly gone. And I’m excited; for a new life. I mean I’d have to leave all of this behind someday, wouldn’t I? And I don’t want to live the college life forever. It is awesome indeed, but it’s not something you can hang on to. It’s like one of those amazing moments which come but eventually go too. If all moments in life were amazing, then, well none of them would be amazing after all. Everything is relative. So I’m kind of happy; happy that I could enjoy such an awesome college life with some of the greatest people I have met. And I’ll let it go with a smile; with tonnes of memories to cherish. All those nights spent at the galla, CEP terrace, SAC terrace (not a terrace exactly, more like a ledge), playing DOTA2 (and abusing the shit out of everyone while punching rabbits), playing the guitar even though the rest of my body (except for my fingers) are dead due to lack of sleep, or playing football at 4 in the night when literally my whole body feels like it’s about to disintegrate and fall apart. And not to forget the endless hours spent at the cafeteria, just sitting, bakaring, and forcefully having+galyaofying the cafe food (which is actually decent enough; except for the first counter. Wow, god only knows how he manages to make such bad food sometimes. It’s an art). Even the amount of time spent in the hostel watching cat videos. Or fighting kung fu with my roommate. Time well spent indeed. I remember the first day in college. I was this shy little guy with a guitar and a laptop (which was taken away from me forcefully. Almost made me cry). Now, after 3.5 years, I realize how much I have changed. I’m a new person. Lot of my beliefs have changed, and I’ve started looking at life from a new perspective. But most importantly, I’ve become braver than before and I’m not scared of life anymore. College probably made for the roughest few years of my life till now, but also the best. Full of downs, but more importantly full of ups as well, memories of which I shall relish forever. I’ll miss every moment of it; and will definitely come back to college whenever I get the chance. First target, Synapse 2015. I’ll tell my company that I have a mental sickness whose main symptom is an OCD to headbang throughout Ragna Rock or something and flee! But till then, I guess the time has come to let go and move on to a new life, where I’ll find many more exciting adventures (hopefully). Internship, here I come!
