Back to College

 As the last day of my Diwali vacation came closer, I felt that familiar mix of emotions  happiness and sadness all tangled together. A part of me was excited to go back to college, to meet my friends, and return to the fun and chaos of hostel life. But another part of me just didn’t want to leave home.

Being home for a few days reminded me of how comforting it feels to be surrounded by family  the warmth, the care, the feeling of belonging without even trying. I had just started getting used to lazy mornings, homemade food, and endless conversations with my parents. And now, suddenly, it was time to pack again.

Still, thinking about returning to college made me smile too. My college friends have become like a second family  the people who make every day fun and memorable. I could already imagine the hugs, the laughter, and the late-night talks waiting for me.

Leaving home never gets easier, but I guess that’s what growing up feels like  having two places that both feel like home and two families that make saying goodbye a little harder each time.


(PS: I thought I'll be productive but ended up sleeping the whole day after returning)

1. The Day Everything Felt New

Image
The moment I stepped onto campus, I felt small  not in a bad way, but in that awe-struck, this-is-bigger-than-me way. The trees stood tall like quiet guardians, the buildings looked endless, and every corner held a hum of new beginnings. The sun fell gently across the walkways, and I could already imagine myself walking here half asleep for morning classes. There were students everywhere laughing, calling out to friends, carrying their little worlds in backpacks. Something about it made me believe that this place would shape me. I was in awe just seeing the campus its scale, its energy, its promise .I arrived at the hostel with two suitcases and a stomach full of nerves. The room looked plain, the walls unfamiliar, and the silence felt louder than ever. My parents weren’t allowed inside, so I unpacked everything myself. Strangely, I didn’t feel sad  maybe I was too excited. I was in awe just seeing the campus  ,the size of it, the buildings, the possibilities. The realisa...

Industrial visit-Dakshin Chitra Museum

Image
Our whole class went on an outing to Dakshin Chitra , a museum that shows the beautiful culture and traditions of Tamil Nadu. After almost two months of not being allowed to go out as first-semester students, this was our first trip together , and everyone was filled with excitement. Just the feeling of leaving the campus and being free for a day felt amazing. The bus was full of laughter, songs, and happy conversations  it was clear that we had all missed this sense of freedom. At the museum, we saw traditional houses , village scenes , and handmade crafts that showed how people lived in the past. Every exhibit had a story to tell about old customs, art, and architecture. Walking through the recreated villages and seeing the detailed carvings and decorations made us feel connected to Tamil Nadu’s rich history. It was not just a learning experience, but also a fun way to see how life used to be long ago. The best part of the trip was how it brought all of us closer. Away from clas...

Mall Visit(The chaos after the IV)

Image
 After a quick one-hour dash through Dakshin Chitra , it was obvious: the real hype was for the mall . Honestly, who spends two months in college waiting to go out and gets excited about a museum? We were buzzing for our first mall trip together , and the energy was unmatched. The moment we arrived, it was chaos in the best way possible. We wandered through stores, debated over the tiniest purchases like our lives depended on it, grabbed snacks like true food enthusiasts, and basically lived our best carefree lives . Every little moment helping friends pick stuff, taking a million selfies, joking around felt like pure joy. Even the bus ride was a vibe. We danced, sang at the top of our lungs, and laughed until our stomachs hurt. Eating together, exploring, goofing around it all felt like a mini celebration of friendship and freedom . By the end of the day, it wasn’t just a mall visit it was a legendary first-time experience , full of memes, laughter, and memories that will proba...
