The beginning of the end …
It has begun. Most of my college mates will agree.
You were waiting to get here since the day you first stepped in. You wished the days would go by fast so that you can be there. You were always in awe of the people who were already there. And now, you are here… finally.
Being here is just what you expected it to be… and something more.
There is this carelessness everywhere. Just like the one you craved for since the first day. You don ‘t really give a damn about most of the things for which you would have spent sleepless nights earlier. There is also a certain sense of superiority creeping into you. You have made some life-long friends. Shared some unforgettable moments with special ones. You are probably having the best time of your life now. Just how you expected it to be. Just how you wanted it to be.
But at the back of your mind, you know it ‘s all going to end…and quite soon. Life in engineering is kinda cruel. It reaches a crescendo, and then …
It was bound to happen. You knew it would. But now that it is close, you suddenly start disliking being here. You now want to go back. You now want to live that life over and over again. Even if it means losing all the benefits of being here. You now want the ” We ‘ve still got lots of time” feeling again. Suddenly, you think of the time when you will say to your friends, “Dude, lets enjoy…One last time” .
It has just begun. The joy of being here heavily dominates the sadness of being here.
But no matter how hard you try to deny it. This is the beginning of the end. The end you always feared. The end that you will fear more, as it draws closer. The beginning that says, “Enjoy your college life while you still can” …
