(article for my college mag)
It feels like an obscure dream, how the past few years have gone by is difficult to understand. I feel I’ve hit the “Nitrous” button of life after school and time has passed by extremely fast leaving memories which are very real yet they feel surreal.
Today, half way through my graduation I try to recollect how the past one-year (which seems to have gone by exceptionally fast) and all I end up doing is wonder, wondering how fast it all happened. The end of Intermediate college, trying to get over missing it, start of new college, making new friends, having a great time both in and out of college et al feels like have happened in the blink of an eye.
This is the college life, that part of life, which is supposedly the most precious, and the one, which will be remembered and missed the most, later in life. I am really an adult now, I can vote, I can do whatever I want to (not that anything stopped me before) but legally. The phrase “making your own destiny” is making more sense than ever before. Whatever I do now will influence my life later than anything else. That stage of life where it is very easy to get carried away from reality but when reality bites, it hurts.
Have unlimited fun or study hard and shape an awesome career? Or both? But how? Where should the line be drawn and how? Am I already drawing it? Or do I just think I did?
Questions, a lot of them arise every now and then. The inquisitive and more importantly the rebellious hormones of teenage seem to be at its pinnacle. By the end of the teenage will mark the end of the so called “college life” and with that comes the stage of life when its you and the world and when you look behind you will see the smiling faces of the people who helped get so far and now its just you, you either make it or you break it.
Aaaaargh! Why does it all happen so fast? I guess that’s the strange game life plays on everyone and knowing how to play it right is the name of the game. So will I make out safe and sane? Only time will tell…
