Hey guys!
Hope everyone's doing great. My life has been a huge roller
coaster lately and even though I get time to post I lack the
inspiration at times. Now, when my exams are hardly four days away I
feel that I should write (see how weird my brain processes are?) before I
get to writing anything let me clear any doubts of any human regarding
if college is better than school. No. It is Not. It is so not better.
Well of course, its more glamorous, and you feel a sense of adulthood
when you tell people you're in college, but that's mostly it, no other
great perks. It's rather more difficult than school in a way.
You
are just informed about the VAST syllabus, thousand assignments and
hundreds of exam. You are responsible for your work.
Remember those days
back in school when the teachers used to correct our "Homework"? Well
no one does it in college. Though it is a relief in one sense it is also
equally a bane- no one simply cares if you have written anything or
not, so when the exams come you're on your own,no one else can be blamed.
smart, isn't it? It's fun too.
You have to make your own schedule of
study, you HAVE to submit those assignments. No one cares when, how, or
where, they just have to magically appear on the teacher's desk on the
date of submission. No excuses. This can be done two ways - Either you
work on a select portion everyday with a conscious plan of completing it
,or, like me stay up the entire night before the submission day and
scribble whatever words related to the topic you can find and pray that
your teacher doesn't rusticate you on the grounds of utterly
disappointing assignments. Yeah.
Another weird thing about college
is that there are no breaks. I mean, hello!? Aren't we humans supposed
to eat? College is responsible for half of the malnutrition phases that I
mentally imagine myself going through when I'm in the class. What is the
use of not assigning breaks? Sure class sessions can be longer and
stuff, but wait, if I'm hungry you think I'll be able to focus in that
extended time period ? Let me just eat please! Puh-lease!
A serious thing that troubles me about my college in specific (hope your
college doesn't irritate you about this) is the lack of proper sanitation
facilities. There are such few open washrooms, the ones that are open
are invariably mildly stinky. Though their are more washrooms in the
campus they are locked. I did think of going and complaining about it
but then I decided that I should inspect all the other washrooms
before I do so. So I did. And what I found wasn't pleasing. The washroom
was great it had so many facilities, but it wasn't kept that way. It had
been littered and dirtied. People had thrown things right on the lid of
the dustbin to escape the minute effort of having to lift the lid. So
yeah, good hygiene habits and sanitation facilities are very necessary.
But
Apart
from all that college is fun, you have a sense of independence and get
to steer your life on your own. So have fun where ever you are whether
it's in college or in school, you'll miss it when its over.Smile your way through it all :)
