What was our first experience?

              

College life… Ahh how amazing those days were! Whenever I am asked to share my experience on how my College life was, the very first thing that strikes my mind is my First Day in College. The duration between completion of school and starting up of college life is entirely filled with excitement, thrills and expectations. How the college campus would look like? How would be the Head of Department and Professors? And the most important question inside the mind of a fresher is regarding their fellow classmates and seniors? These are the most important queries that are their inside the mind of a fresher. Even I carried these similar questions with me and with a bag filled with excitement and confidence I entered the gate of Makhanlal Chaturvedi National University of Communication and Journalism. The campus almost appeared like an office building and here my first expectation regarding the beautiful college campus was all shattered. But I had to accept this harsh reality of my life as this office building would be a second home to me for three consecutive years. With utmost courage I marched ahead thereby enquiring about the Mass Communication Department which would be my identity from now onwards. My department was there on the third floor; luckily we had lift that was in a working condition to take us to our opted floors. There I saw my department’s name mentioned in golden block letter “Mass Communication Department” with my head held high I entered the department and went ahead towards my class room BA (MC) 1ST Semester. I entered the class room with a big smile on my face as if I was the happiest person on this planet, there I saw only four people who were there on time on the very first day.  From school days itself we were taught to be punctual and were strictly told to be on time. Therefore me being an obedient girl entered the class room on time and was shocked to see only four girls occupying the first two seats of the class. Where were the rest 28 people of our class? This was the question that popped up in my mind. But still without making further delays I occupied my seat and we introduced ourselves to one another. Then slowly one by one students of our class came up and even they introduced themselves to us and we all had a healthy interaction. Meanwhile, during the interaction I and my new friend Ayushi Sharma started discussing about each other and indeed, she was my first friend of this new college. Then all our professors came and briefed about the subject they would teach us. 1st July being the first day of our college class our professors was not that keen to teach us on the very first day so just by taking our introduction they left us. We were all happy as we got time to explore our not so big college campus. As all of us were heading towards the canteen  or seniors came and told us to be seated in the  class room as they would come up to take our introduction. That was pretty exciting. I was all confident enough to introduce myself to my seniors and fellow mates. Like others, even I was not sure whether this introduction would just be asking of names and hobbies or would turn out into a ragging. Until and unless my seniors came to my class I was throughout struggling with this unsolved question. We had a very healthy interaction with our seniors. They were all very nice to us. Throughout these three years whether it be our classmates, the teachers and the seniors all stood together like a family. On a regular basis we had many events which helped in the overall development of our personality. Pratibha a cultural fest was organized every year to encourage and motivate the students to come ahead and show their hidden talents. All the students actively participated in this college fest. Independence Day, Republic Day, Teachers Day etc was celebrated with full pomp and show in our campus itself. These three years of mine was full of great experiences from making good friends to scoring good marks in the class everything made me a confident person. I have learned a lot in these three years of graduation, from being independent to deal with all possible hitches of our daily life. Now as I am out from my university I miss those beautiful days where I lived my life without any stress and tension. I wish I could turn those pages of my life back and relive those beautiful times again.
