My first Day at College..

.
Its been 4 years now..n my Engineering degree is complete…yet the first day of my college is still fresh in my memory.Everything seems lyk it just happened yesterday.

College gives you a new lease of life..you can start afresh and the first day is particularly special as it more or less decides the company you would have in the coming years....

When I entered an engineering college..unfortunately it wasn’t the college of my dreams. My dream of entering a premier institute had just been shattered and as destiny would have it I entered the same college for which I had been teasing my sister for 2 years.Yes, after school we were supposed to study at the same place again!
2 years elder to me she was my super senior at college. I settled for the same branch as her.

Well to be honest this college wasn’t that bad..but there was one issue...This was a girls College! Well u think..no Big deal n y the fuss…think of 70 girls packed in 1 class room..I hope now u empathise ;)

Well..it started with the orientation day which I gleefully missed..ya I bunked the first day of colg :P..I thought I have my sis to show me the place anytime.

Day 1- It rained that day..so I was late for the colg..as I entered the building..I was awed to see the campus..It was like a bhulbhulaiya..huge n complicated. I first met few of my sister’s classmates n said a nervous hello n moved on. Next was the electrical Block..I saw a gang of girls staring at me..Errrrr…Wat was dat..I hadn’t still entered the class room n wud I be ragged first up…someone Phlz help..However, I gathered some courage n moved upto them..Oieee….They were my to be classmates (They were big n mature..did I luk lyk a baby??)

Next I moved to the class only to find that I had already missed my first lecture! (Oh boy! I was getting into the college mode rather fast…already missing classes).
Next was the Ranga Rao Lab n I moved on…I met Shreya there..a nice simple luking girl…she asks me…hi r u a day shcy? Ohh..now wat in the world was dat supposed to be..shud I ask..wud it luk silly…Oh hell..I asked her…err..sorry wat did u say…she smiled n told me that it’s the short form of day scholar..(Hmm…. welcome to the world of short forms from now on day scholar wud be day schy, Analog Electronics wud be AE, calculator wud be calcy, Gangadharappa Sir wud be GD )
That moment I counted her as a friend and chose her company for the rest of the day…for the large part of the day we were running from one place to another…sometimes for classes n most of the times escaping from the clutches of ragging ;)

Meanwhile my sis walks up to me in the midst of the day to tell me that she is leaving as now she is free and asked if I could get by home by myself. I immediately said OK! After all this was my chance to prove I’m a big girl now.

Finally the day ended at 5 and I was anxious as to how wud I get back. ..Ya right anxious coz…I was at this place 20 Kms away from home..with no idea of buses or routes.. but Just then I found Parul (I gotta know that she lived 2 blocks away from my place). I was so relieved to have her with me.

I don’t really remember the ride back home in the DTC buses but the one thing I wont ever forget is that I found my best friend on the way back home :)

I entered the place as a confused and an eager teenager….
I am still confused and eager…its just that m not a teenager anymore ;)
