You feel so happy and you are so ready to just live the moment, enjoy the due life and then you realize that okay, lockdown has happened and you're not able to go to college for like two years. That sounds so depressing, right? Even I am a core student. I mean, when I completed my first semester, I realized that our classes are in the online mode from now onwards. And my college finally reopened when I was in my third year that to last semester

So you are not able to gel up in the environment. So what was the reaction when you realized that, yes, finally, deal is opening. What was the initial reaction?

Well, I'm glad to be here, too. And to answer your question, I was way too excited. Because, of course, we all were eagerly waiting for our colleges to reopen and to enjoy that dream college life. So, yes, I was really overjoyed when I got to know that finally I can enjoy my college life and I can meet my batch mates and can, you know, make new friends and meet new people and experience new things

I saw my college for the last time, and I just said to myself that, I'm a student of Corrosional College. And it was a great experience, although I was there for a short period of time. But still, whatever happened, it happened for a reason. I cannot change it. But still, there was some happiness, which I felt right. And I was really sad when I realized that, yes, the dual life is finally over, so I can understand this feeling

You don't have to get up too early, and if you're even getting up just two or three minutes before your online class, you don't have to like, crush because you know that you don't have to get ready or you don't have to switch on your camera or to interact a lot with your professor. But during offline classes, it was completely different because you have to interact with the professor. You have to pay attention because the professor can see you, can observe you

You have to make sure that you at least look like you are interested. Most of the time we just zone out while we're sitting in the classroom, but we have to pretend as if we are so interested in the lectures. So that is a different situation as well. Right? So that is something which even I can relate to. So coming back to the question and answer my third question for you would be what are some of the experiences that you regret not enjoying during your online classes?

Just like I used to do during my school time where I used to talk to like every other person. So I think I should have interacted a little more with them in order to know my bachelors and to create a bond with them. Also, coming back to the fun part, I really missed our Fresh shows. I mean it is a dream for every student that will go into the college and will get our freshers will enjoy a lot. So we didn't get our Freshers

Like anywhere, right? And chances are, like we cannot predict the future and there are chances that we may come across another pandemic and they have to face locked on once again. So what is an advice or like some suggestions that you want to give to all the new journeys? Were going to start a new life at Bu

And you never know, just like you said, that you cannot predict future. You can never know that when another pandemic can hit us. So just talk to people, make friends, explore your surroundings and try to come out of your shell. And last thing, just do not get overwhelmed by looking people around you having set as yours. I think that everyone is unique in their own way. If you try a little hard, then you can surpass anyone and everyone

But on the other hand, you should also make sure that when it comes to exams, when it comes to knowledge, you are equally equipped with it. Because I understood this fact a lot later. And when there are exams, I do know that I just enjoy my dual life like anything, even in lockdown, I just used to enjoy. I did not study at all
