The college dilemma

article image placeholderUploaded by @Manalika
And how could you just open colleges two or three months before we graduate? This is completely nonsense. I did not want to go to College. I kid you not. I was like, please, let just another variant happen and let this College close once again. Because I did not want to go to College. I did not want to experience anything. Once again, even though I was talking with my friends, I was like, yeah, it's great

Hi Manalika, your podcast is really good to hear. And one thing I want to say that it's not with you that you want to go to College after being in OBE patent. It's with first year, it's the second year, it's with every other student out there. It's too completely different from them too. They guys also don't want this thing to happen. But eventually we need to face the reality

Lessons!

Hey Manalika, I am a fellow student from Delhi University and I just wanted to say that is too human. You just mentioned that you did not like the fact that at one point in time you tested College and hated it. And now it will be heartbreaking for you to go to your farewell because you were not able to enjoy your College life to the fullest

So it makes me really sad that I couldn't enjoy my College life as much as I had imagined after seeing current or films. But during this lockdown period, I had become very much comfortable with the idea that I could Google the answers and take help of books and the materials, provide study materials provided by the professors and then ace exams and I was actually getting very good marks in it

Hey, Manalika, life is strange here, and I heard your whole swell. And personally, what I believe the right decision for you would be to just go back to College. Yeah, just press this restart button once again and relive your College life once again. Because from what it sounds like, you miss your College life so much. And I don't want to see that. Keep doing the future, man

And that too in the offline mode, like, completely going there physically and having fun. It was really different. And at the same time I wanted to go, but at the same time, I didn't want to lose the comfort of my home. So I think a lot of people say it's

So that is the reason why I felt angry. Plus I also felt angry on the OBE situation that now we are providing us offline exams, which is completely wrong in my sense. But see, obviously I do understand the fact that it's not even in the authorities hand. They have this power, to be honest. They were able to conduct online exams but it's fine. Obviously I cannot cry about it for too long

And I have my exam and exams in a month, which is so sad and frightening for me. I don't know how I'm going to overcome these kind of emotions, but kudos to you and kudos to you guys that you are still attending lectures. It's a really great thing to do at this point in time. But yeah, apart from this lecture thing, I think the other emotions that we both are facing are similar

My friends have just started having a conversation deciding what we're going to wear in our farewell. And due to these kind of conversations, my subconscious mind makes me realize that we are talking about getting a graduation. But it feels like a few days ago I was thinking about my first day of College after school. So life just changes. It just goes so fast. But we do understand life is filled with twists and turns and I have to embrace everything that comes in my way in a positive manner

We don't know what's coming in our way and we have to embrace everything that comes in our way. Right. No matter what happens. Because that's the only thing we can do. I really hope that in the future you are able to enjoy whatever comes in your way and whatever you deserve. I hope you attend a lot of Fest. I hope you explore different places. I hope you have a great time with your friends this amount of time and yeah, good luck to you

Hi see whatever you're saying may sound pleasing two years but you also know this is not practical, right? This is because my colleagues complete. I completely agree with you but thank you so much. However thank you so much

Honestly, we can never know the actual value of something before it's already the time to leave or when there is no time for living the moment through your swell. I just remembered that time we passed out of class eleven and we're happy that the selections or any other exams would not take place in class twelve. But after that, when it was the final day we went to school for collecting the report cards and meet the closest tens for the last time. Then we actually realize what we missed

The dilemma which you are facing is phased by many other students at the same time. And we are, you know, hopping to different options because of a priority, for example, if there are no exams of College, like semester and exam exams. So we want offline colleges, but when the exams are appearing like they are about to be in a month or in a half of the month, we need offline colleges. So, yeah, the dilemma, the choices we make

@Chandrita #sayitonswell

Exactly. You're absolutely right. We don't understand the value of a particular moment or a particular being or a particular thing until it's gone. So, yeah, the way you said about the school, even I felt the same way when I completed my class as 12th and I was giving my boards, I was happy that finally I don't have to wake up this early

And I'm really just juggling into thinking that College life is getting over or like a College is getting over, is it? So, yeah, there are so many emotions that just are coming inside me and I don't know how to deal with it. But, yeah, I do hope in the future I'm able to note to recall and be happy with those certain small memories that I created in my College life
