My College Life (first ever)...

It's been really long since I have written something. It's been really busy time for me and every time I thought that I would write about something, my new love just didn't allow me to do so. And before any one of you start guessing in a different direction all together, let me tell you that my new found love is nobody else but my college- Xavier's. It was love at first sight for me. The moment I entered the college, I knew I belong here. And even when I was planning to do my Post Grad, I had made up my mind that - if I would ever go to college, it has to be Xavier's and nowhere else.

I was disappointed when I was unable to clear the entrance exams the first time, but I did't give up.  And I could not have been more elated. But it was not easy to get Xavier's in my life. I had to go through tests, group discussions and then finally personal interview. But my patience paid off. And Xavier's said "yes" to my proposal and accepted me with open arms, and I happily went along. 

I still remember my first day. It was full of questions. Who all will I meet? How will my classmates be? Will they accept me the same way Xavier's did? And many more, as I have never been to a college. And I stepped into a world totally unknown to me. But I was not disappointed. I finally met my awesome classmates and every single day, every faculty used to make us go through the procedure of introducing ourselves, but it was fun and we got to know each other a bit more. 

The first initial days were rosy for all of us. I was exploring the campus (trust me its beautiful and humongous) and I am not complaining. The canteen has a buffet set for us, and me being a hard core foodie, it's a heaven for me, and yes I have gained weight. Then came the day when we faced the moment of truth - assignments. We were bombarded with it. Every faculty gave us some assignment and a deadline to submit it. It was fun, as we were working in groups, but hectic too. But I am not complaining. We all came even more close to each other. But between all this madness, we found a method to have fun. We were holding our own fresher's night, and every one in the class had a blast. We danced the night away. 

Then more assignments! But we were determined not to fall flat. We kept on crossing every hurdle and kept enjoying ourselves. Even our faculties were having equal fun with us. A cool dude teacher, Mr. Nitin Das Rai came and won our hearts by performing on "Oppa Ganagam Style" exclusively for us, and it was total worth and priceless moment captured in all our cellphones, or rather smart phones.

Recently we all went to Sula and Bhadhardhara on a class trip (organised by Pallvi Karnatak, my awesome classmate, and I) and we had so much fun. We never wanted this trip to end. But we had to face reality. We came back with lots of priceless memories and moments, and yes of course lots and lots of pictures (because we are a photo crazy class, and we never get tired of posing at any given point of time and place). Here are few examples-

I even got famous!!! One day my H.O.D called and informed me that I am the face of XIC's new programme and I was not able to believe it. Then he told me that he has sent me a link of the college website and also the picture featuring me. And this is what it looked like-

I was super happy to see myself on the website. Our internships happened in December and we were so excited to have that experience in life. And then came the convocation day, the day when we feel proud of our achievements and make our parents proud. My dad was in tears when he saw me featuring in the college video, and that was the time I knew the hardwork was worth it. 

Our job life started and today we all are working in different organisations, and I hope that we all excel in our areas and companies, and make our parents, our faculties, our parents, and Xavier's even more proud of us. Hope we never stop being awesome. Will keep posting more stories. Till then, keep smiling..:)
