Reminiscents@ Graduation Days!!

From being the timid teenager who started college excited about the days ahead, days full of learning yet fun, challenges yet success, failure yet optimism to foresee a future with maturity, yet ready to accept obstacles with the endurance and to create opportunities to be a better me.

Times where little knowledge proved dangerous, times that made facts about love and life even more confusing yet helped me build an opinion.

Change from the cuddled environment of home, always knowing there is a hand at my back to hold me if I ever falter, to the change where life held me responsible for every “yes” and every “no”, to make choices amidst the good, bad and the worse and to take every step with courage to stand up straight even at the edge of the cliff.

Events that made me test my patience, party hard at success, accept failure yet commit the same mistake twice knowing it would be me who would face it brunt of it.
Laughter that saw no bounds, giggles that mustered the air around, boosting the confidence to face every tomorrow to make the impossible say that “I am possible.”

These years have made me look at people, choices, understanding, love and life from a different angle every time.
People among those who would carry an ever lasting impression on your mind that you would look up to them, to be like them and reach at a position you see them at.
People within whom you would find the best of friends, with whom you feel who can connect so instantly yet respect the differences, with a similar line of thought.

People you know who would tell you when you’re wrong. People you could blindly follow with your eyes closed and walk to them at time of need.
People with whom you could go up to any extent to prove your point yet agree to them realizing if you are wrong. People you look up to for advice yet walk up to them when you need a shoulder to cry.

Times that teach you to look at life and situations from a different eye. To look at a glass half filled or half empty.
But, then life his its own ways. It also makes you come across people you trust, to whom you listen, with whom you share, only to be hurt so badly that it takes every deal of strength to bounce back.

People, who try to overpower your thoughts, brainwash your perception but you too allow them to do so and blindly follow. They lead you to darkness even when the sun shines bright outside.
But it’s these people who teach you another side of life. You regret your ability to make right judgments but learn facts about friendship and life only after meeting them.
They do enough wrong to you to make you stand up from weakness and give you a piece of mind, to give them a dose of their own medicine.

Gathering from experiences I realize how much I’ve grown in my college years. How many different kind of people I have encountered. How every one has their own very contribution to teach me something new. I stand up today as someone much more mature, more experienced, bolder and stronger to face a difficult tomorrow.

When I started college, I could have gone to any extent to criticize these days that kept me away from home, away from being protected, pampered and sheltered.
It’s these times, these events and these people who I’ve come across to whom I owe my share of thanks since they would never know how they would have left an impact on me in their own special way.
