College for a start

A new beginning, a fresh start, college for the first time....

College! One of the most interesting phrase in every individual’s life! That part of life that is associated with a lot of drama and being shy, a journey that is like a memorable ride.  The air in college is very different for the atmosphere that each one has been used to. People from all over the world come by, a whole new change of the usual atmosphere, which is nothing like school! The adrenal rush that runs through when you enter college takes you to a whole new level of being high!

I was 18, it was now time to enter college, and the struggle for admissions went on for a good two months, losing my appetite, my summer run, my precious sleep and my holiday fun! It all soon ended when I got lucky to be able to study in one of Bangalore’s top College CMS- Jain College! College life was a big step, because for the first time was I not only entering a college but also a co-ed institution! My parents always liked keeping me in a closed shell, protected and safeguarded from all the cruelty of the world! It was now time to roll a fresh start to a new life, with a whole change of the usual people and atmosphere that I had been used to!

BMS the perfect course that I was looking for, in CMS proved to be an even better experience, with the perfect class, brilliant staff and a wonderful crowd to begin with. My journey here started off with the entertaining orientation sessions that went on for a fortnight, before we knew it we were like family, a class of 62, was now on a roll! Enjoying the 2 out bounds that we went to, or going for movies, creating plays and doing assignments got us all amazed. Classes in the beginning were mostly introductions, but being the media lot we made that also seem fun. Auditioning for our fests or attending and enjoying the various P.R campaigns, we knew college life had now begun!

The rush for fresher’s, putting more than we can handle on our plate; gossip, or drama, college is known for its hungama! True that we were a little or more than just disappointed with our HUGE parking lot and the WONDERFUL canteen, but the other opportunities at CMS over shadows it all! The journey got more interesting when we were the first BMS class to win the award of the best class at CMS, competing with the BBM classes! And that definitely called for celebration, so set sail to a journey to Hyderabad to party and celebrate our victory. Another ice breaker for us to know our classmates and department better, and the trip sure did bring out a lot of positive ends.

Toastmasters another major part of my college life, has already made a very big impact on my life! For a person who would never dare to talk on stage, fearing a crowd of 60, now ready to take on a crowd of 6000! TM helped me not only with public speaking but also improved my writing skills! Being a part of the college theatre and throw ball team was another boost to my happy journey at CMS!

 Its barely been end of one semester, but it already seems so familiar, the people, the teachers, everything is new yet beautiful, fun and party being the true definition of college life, CMS justifies it all! The three years that are yet to come, are most awaited for, a lot of hope, expectations and duties at the same time, waiting to be fulfilled! Cms has a lot to offer and I’m ready to make the most of what I get! With promising to stand true to performance being reality, I hope to have the best of my memories here as well as a happy degree at the end.
