Ode to my College life

this was written while i was in the final year of my graduation .. emotional moments they were

My college, my abode
Destiny belies,
For i never wanna leave, i never wanna go.
The moments that have whizzed by, make me long for more
The best years of my life, spent here for sure .

The day we came, our seniors drove us insane
To escape the ragging menace, we even jumped off the terrace!
But some days later, everything was up for a change
For we started realizing what life at college truly meant.

Classes went on with monotonous regularity
That often made the students find themselves in despair.
For most of us, "proxy" was the only saviour
Even though it wasn't always an easy affair.

Exam times saw us scurry here and there
When sleepless nights were a common norm everywhere.
Yet we trudged the treacherous paths,
Making use of means that weren't always fair!
To escape the threat of "carry" that always looms over here.

The time to bid adieu has finally arrived
To leave our alma mater, though with a wry.
The memories etched in our minds shall forever stay
For even if eons pass by,
The reminiscence of my college days will always put me on a high...

Author's Note

i hope you all know what 'proxy' means !! 'carry' in our parlance was the term used when a student flunked in a particular subject .

I can't explain how much i relate to this.I absolutely understand 'proxy'.I have passed out just five months back and i know the feeling though after five years of it i only wanted to escape but still.You should be reading this for your farewell,it will be fun.

This was a good poem. I really liked it a lot. I have not gone to college yet. I am a high school senior. It was nice to hear about your experiences. Thanks for sharing. :)

Lucky…fellow..
I was too serious to enjoy my college days….
Lol…lines of your poem…carries an immaturity…
Which is a symptom of college days…
But…enjoyed reading it…

I loved this sense of longing in your voice for those times.. days of lightness and freedom even admidst the tests and all else. Those were days my heart looks back to as well and smiles.. days when dreams could still flood the mind with possibilities.. Wonderful reflective write!
