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.
