Essay : My first day in college
My first day at college
My first day at college is a memorable experience of my life. It is marked with excitement, nervousness and fears. So, it will haunt me forever in the years to come.
The first day at the college was considered to be an important one because there used to be ragging in the college. The I seniors would make the new comers indulge in strange actions. So the | seniors had worked out their own strategies and we had decided to act together. So as we entered the college we met a few seniors who were approaching us with an air of superiority. They asked us to stop but we paid no attention. They were larger in number so they made us subdue immediately. Then they asked us to do strange things like singing ridiculous songs and doing monkey pranks. The sense of self-dignity in me did not allow me to act according to their wishes still they forced me' to obey their orders. I felt a little humiliated but took it sportingly. Later on, we came across a few more groups of the seniors, but we were able to outwit them somehow or other.
We went to the lecture room and mistaking it for a school we observed some rules of decorum. As soon as the teacher^ entered, we stood up' and greeted him. But we found a strange smile on the face of the teacher and it made us think that we had not acted properly. The teacher did not teach for some time and indulged in general gossip. It was quite amusing and there 4 was no strain upon our mind. After some time, we moved to n another room and we waited there for near about 20 minutesM but no teacher.turned up. In fact, it was a-problem to know to which room we were to move. There was nobody to guide us I and we were terribly afraid of asking the seniors. After, the 9 second bell, somebody told us that the classes were over.
As soon as I moved out of the. room, I started thinking that 9 in the colleges, perhaps, there was no regular teaching work. We also heard some of the seniors saying that their courses had not been finished and they did not know which books were to be studied by them. This made me think that school life was I better where we were forced to work. The college seemed to J have lost charm which I had been associating with the college life. The very first day of the college was a disappointing day 1 because I did not believe in wasting time unnecessarily.
I had carried a few books with me but could not make use i of them. Most of the seniors had neither, pens nor paper with them. No one was talking of studies; they were talking of film 1 heroes and heroines. They seemed to be more interested in fashions than in books. Some of them were smoking out their time in the canteen. All this seemed quite odd.
