Leaving Childhood Behind and entering into A new Life

 Email  Facebook  Tweet  Linked-in

After spending 12 years of life in a school, everyone has a sense of excitement about the life which would be important in many aspects from choice of career to the mature environment, where there would be no school friends, no study without tension etc. In other words, the period which one would be travelling across would be a period more of seriousness. The new life would be waiting for you with new experiences which you would get throughout that period. The life which I am talking about is the college life which everyone has dreamt of, but would it be necessary that this life which you are dreaming would be better than the life which you were living in for a long period of time. This article basically reflects the life of a student who leaves his house for high education.
Even before entering into this life, you would have to come across certain instances which would sometimes make you feel sad. You would see the emotions of your mother while leaving you in the hostel because it would be very hard for to leave you in a world which is very new to you, and the feeling that how would you manage to live in such a environment. You would remember the food which you used to get at home with the love hidden inside it. Sometimes, it becomes you will cry when you would feel alone. Sometimes, you would think why have you decided to leave your home and studying whatsoever course you would be pursuing at a far place from your home. This is the general feeling which arises when a student enters into a college leaving his home ( Please ignore he/she reference, that is not because of gender bias  lol :P) where he has been grown up since his birth. It might not be true in some cases, but generally a person would come across the same condition at this stage of life. The excitement which one has is sometimes accompanied with the fear of a new place, new people, new lifestyle. Moreover, a fear of being ragged by the seniors keeps a person in a situation of fear, because of some obvious questions i.e., " Would I be able to handle the situation ", " How would I be ragged by the seniors " , " How would be roommate ( in case of double-occupancy room) ? " and certain other questions which cannot be answered before one experience. Instead, the scene of a college life has been represented in various movies such as Munna Bhai and Three idiots. These are the basic questions which keeps haunting ones mind in the period between intermediate and admission into the college. Parents keep on making the list of known person who are present at the city where their lovable child is going to study and to inform them to take care of their child, again with an exchange of some obvious dialogs, " Ab to aap hi hain yaha par ", " dekhte rahega isko, pheli baar akela chod kar jaa rahe hain ". If you have not gone through this stage yet then you would see in case you would be joining a college which is not in you city, and if you have gone through this stage then you must have realized what has been discussed.
But soon the things would change not because you have changed but because you have entered into a new phase of life which is no more new to you and slowly you have also become a part of this phase. But, agaiin you would have to go through the instances sometimes exciting, sometimes tough, sometimes funny. Now you are no more in a school life with your old friends, you have got new friends who were once stranger to you, have become one of the most important part of you life. Now the things which were keeping you in a stage of fear have become a thing of past. Now you have entered into that phase of your life where you would be more focused towards your goal again with certain questions in your life i.e. " What I want to do in my life " , " Why am I studying this ", " Would I be able to achieve my goal ". But you will always miss the period which you have once spent in your schooling, always keep remembering how tensionless that life was without any kind of tension surrounding your mind. But it is also true that the kind of enjoyment which you would have in this period would very unique to you for your whole life. You would realize that life is not easy unless and until you work hard for achieving something and realizing that it is you who has to face this and no one else would be in a situation to help you. There would be instances of embarrassment, sometimes a feeling of restlessness but this all have to be tackled with care. It is possible to make this period as good as you were dreaming but for that you will need to be careful and focused. Sometimes, you would feel that you have become free that you can do whatever you want to do, and because of this factor of freedom you develop in yourself a sense of responsibility which you might not have developed throughout your life. 
Pressure of project submission, attendance shortage would become very common for you. But, this is also the period which can be utilized in a good way to make it productive. In college, you would get to know different people coming from different places, having different culture and sometimes you might feel that it would have been better if you had joined a institution nearby your place where have you come from. There might be a possibility that you would fall in love with someone or you might have found a person which you were waiting for a long period. It is possible that you might get involved in your romance life so deeply that the world around you would be vanished, and trust me this has to be dealt with a lot of care. But, at the end of this period you would realize that you have gone through that phase of life which was filled with joy, pressure, excitement, love, emotions, experiences etc. Those who have already gone through this phase of life would be well aware of these things and those who have not would experience it. Even, I am one of those persons who is going through this phase and trust me it has provided a lot of experience is such a short period.
