Goodbye College!!!
So exactly 4 and a half years back I started the journey of my Graduation, 2000 kms away from home. With my admission to a Medical School, I was never more excited in my life. Those were the innocent days when I still believed in the power of men and the strength of oneself to conquer the world. I still do but with better understanding of the phrase "One's own Enemy." The abundantly fabled College life was not totally what I expected it to be.
A myriad of failures, wins, heartbreaks and sleepless nights was what it was. When I started I remember being anxious about the fact that the course was almost 6 years long, but someone told me that I wont even realize how fast this time would pass. And here I am, on a lonely night, listening to Adele and writing an article about it. On February 10th, 2018 we had our final exams results declared. I was on a train when I was forwarded the results and It was a moment to remember. Happiness, anxiety, surprise, shock- There was lot to perceive and analyse. A lot of good students didn't make it to that list. It was extremely sad but I was so glad that it was finally over. Yeah!!! Med Schools are pure torture sometimes.
Some of the highlights of my college life would be- Winning Annual Debate, Fashion show, a trip to Goa, conquering simple cooking, our symposium at AFMC etc and some of my worst moments would be dealing with Opthalmology, losing a lot of interesting friends, heartbreaks, and when I was diagnosed with a few illnesses like Thallesemia Trait. It was a Roller Coaster ride with a few ups and many downs and I'm deboarding it with broken confidence and mangled self esteem, but Hey!! I did learn a lot of life lessons, Medicine- not so much. :p
If I am forced go back and do it again, I would do it very differently. But I don't want to relive it at any cost. Its a year of internship still left to be done, and I'm sure it will be over in no time as well. I planned to leave this place asap but it didn't quite workout. Embracing my circumstances and moving forward, I'm looking forward to next chapter of my life and hoping for an improvement. I'm extremely excited to use what I have learned so far, at work and in life.
Good Bye College life!! I might miss u few years from now but I get over things fast these days, so, no worries!
One year of internship will be the most important memory that ull remember throughout ,because watever happens latest, leaves greatest impact on u.
ReplyDeleteCollege is memorable, every song that we frnds once listened to ,if played anywher reminds of a complete different story and time, which will never return as it was, but ofcourse one need to move ahead, while preserving the memories.
