The YIN and the YAN are said to be an
important part of this world. The same can be seen in a students’ life, there
is a college life where things are relaxed and easy going and there is laughter
galore. This life has relaxed time table, cool cafeterias and ‘YAARI DOSTI’.
The students know a way of life where the work load is huge and yet is the time
for your own self. That’s a life where many want to be but the reality of life
is for the future to be right you have to make certain hard choices too.
Sometimes you have to choose your favourite course in a college you know is
going to be hectic and so we choose a life where we forfeit major portion of
‘fun’ time. This becomes the ‘other’
type of college life. In the sometimes dark, sometime crowded, sometimes long
corridors of the University colleges, students spend most of their free time; a
time when in our hectic schedules we are just barely able to breathe and think
of the professor’s reaction when she gets to know you haven’t done your
assignment. In all this time, the foreheads crinkle and shoulders ache from the
heavy bags. A total school life without the uniforms. Where the carefree life
is a dream. In this life friends mean a whole different thing. They mean
survival. The stupid little jokes and those meaningful looks and those funny
expressions. The laughter comes from not the ‘hang out’ but the five minutes
classroom breaks. When walking in the corridors a funny giggle can cause a
wildfire of giggles and that is what uplifts the heart.
Every person obviously has problems in life
and when you are alone you just ponder over it and get stressed out. I have
observed that going to college and just being with your friends really help
you. At least it does in my case. I go to college to get rid of stress
(sometimes it feels so ironic) :P
Everyone has had a day when you just can’t
stop laughing, every little thing is funny and even a non significant thing can
set you bonkers. When a teacher’s accent can set the class ROFLOL. Those days
make memories, days that are the best in our life. Days that make you want to
come to college!! That is how important it is to find some happiness when you
don’t even have the time for yourself. People who have it easy don’t really
value it but I thank my college that it taught me the value of having friends
with heart, who care for your smile.
In these two years I have felt a special
bond being created between me and my friends and I know that same has to be the
case in all the colleges. It’s not something huge but the companionship does
wonders. Whenever I have been low I just go to college and the crazy giggles
does wonders to me!! The best part is being the reason someone smiles, when I
hug a friend and she smiles back at me and says thank you. That makes the
hectic life of the college worth having!!
The YAN life is stressful life
but totally worth it if we keep our hearts light and not take stuff like a
snide comment or not topping the class to heart. I have always heard ‘Life is
about living in the moment’ but I have never realised the full of it until now
and I think that my fellow DU guys would agree.
Keep smiling because like it is said “It is
the smallest curve to someone’s heart”.
