10 things that happened to you in last year of college

College time is undoubtedly the most exciting phase of our lives.  The things we do, and the friends we make, leave a lasting impression in our memories. Doesn’t make much of a difference whether you pass from an IIT or a private engineering college of a sleepy dusty town. There are things that remain common

• Friends become everything

As the realization dawns upon you that the college time is finally getting over, you suddenly want to spend your every second with friends. Whether it is going for a movie, late night parties, or having the tea at college canteen, all your time is dedicated to the needs and wants of your friends.

• You start becoming nostalgic about nooks and corners of the college

The college was just another place where you went everyday to complete your higher education. However, in the last few days the college is nothing less than a temple – every nook and corner holds a special importance. There might be one unofficial lover’s point & then there are secret place where only you & your gang hanged out.

• You start worrying about placements

If you are in an engineering institute your biggest concern will definitely be getting placed in a good company. Look at the torture you have to go through, from getting a decent hair-do to wearing formals.

• You already bunked most of the lectures, now don’t even care about a single one

Bunking lectures was your specialty in the college. However, as one progresses towards the end of college life lectures become a relic of the past. Mass bunks become a norm rather than an exception.

•  Your juniors suddenly become more respectful

Did you notice a visible change in the behavior and body language of your juniors? Those who did not care about your existence are suddenly coming up wishing you a good luck for the future. They realize that you might act as a good professional connection and be able to offer them a foot in the door when they pass out. So now you know why your popularity suddenly zoomed up.

• All bad blood is resolved as you realize you may never see them again

College is an exciting time. Adrenalin runs high amongst the youth. You make friends and then you make some “enemies”, picking fight for petty reasons. However, as the college life nears its completion you realize how naïve you were, at times fighting for no reason whatsoever. It’s time to make amends and embrace everyone with an open heart.

• You start preparing for the grand farewell

Amidst the entire sadness one thing that still makes you happy is the thought of a grand farewell. You put your shopping shoes to get the best dress, makeup, and grooming for that special night.

• You start thinking like an alumni from a student

Alumni represent the pedigree and credibility of the college. They are view with respect. As you pass out, everyone looks up to you to make their college proud. From a student, you suddenly find yourself standing shoulder to shoulder with your teachers, sometimes even outracing them. Till now you expected from the college, and now the college expects from you.
