My life at amity

Many people seem to believe that college students have it really easy. When I was in high school, I couldn’t wait until I graduated. Everyone always told me that college was so much fun, and it was so much easier than high school. I dreamed of the college life that I would have. In my first year in college, i realized  that the life of a college student is not that easy as was expected. I never imagined just how hard it would be. Many students enter college expecting good times, knowledge, friendships, and a new sense of direction. They soon find out that college comes with challenges and struggles because of the great demands and expectations that are put on the importance of education. College students experience a great deal of stress, especially when they are trying to balance a full time job. The demands of doing many different things with very little time can become overwhelming.

My first day at the college was very exciting as I just entered the college life after high school as it was a whole new experience. I was overwhelmed with the college infrastructure and facilities it provided.

Many hangout spots were there in the college like the H block where you could see almost the whole college eating , chatting or roaming around. It was a little scary at the first sight of so many strangers around you. Then i gradually started to know the culture and know hows of the college life and got along quite well. Then came the second year where actual stress for the studies came into picture when i got a reality check and got two backs in the 3^rd semester. From that point of time i got serious in the studies and enjoyed side by side without compromising the studies. This made me more responsible.

Then as i entered the third year, i was expecting a whole new year ahead with many more surprises. At this time i was a senior and it just did not feel that way. Then came the 2 months internship which i did in Air India. It was a glimpse of the professional life ahead as i had to enter a whole new world after 2 years. I had a sneek peek the professional culture, the ways of working, people working hard to achieve targets amongst a huge competition among themselves.

Then finally came the fourth year through which i realized about my end of the college life. This started with the final year project for which i was really excited.

Well, i am still left with a year of masters, part of the dual degree, but times will not be same as before.  Those days unfortunately will never come back and i can look back.
