The Leap from School to College

In the past few days I realized writing a blog is all about inspiration and time. Well let’s just say I lacked a bit of both, but now I am up and back again. In the past few days I discovered quite a few freshmen (including myself), looking forward to college confused about how to spend their free summers. I set out to collect data from internet, but guess what? Nothing was appropriate enough for an Indian Student. Then with help from my perfect elder sister I pooled my own little list of things to do before staring college. So here it goes –

Pursue a Hobby

In India the nature of competition is so high that we can barely keep up with academics, let alone recreational activities. Go grab that guitar you always wanted to play or hit that goal for the first time just take up a euphoric hobby.

Party Hard

Remember all those times you had to say no to a party because of a submission next morning, Well it’s time to come back!

Know Your City

Go out just roam about your favorite haunts, take the turn you never took, walk down an unknown road it’s not as if you got to be somewhere on time.

Eat & Dine

Stack up your stomach with as much food as it can store, don’t worry about being fat you would lose all of that in years to come. That high-end restaurant, that favorite street food vendor you are going to miss it all.

Make Peace

In India fights with family, cousins and best of friends is a necessity, make sure all the grudges are settled before you step into future.

Socialize

Make up for all that time spent staring at books and losing touch with your dear ones. Build a network, this skill will help all the way till end.

Hold Your Ground

We Indians are obedient, at least in our school life but now start making your choices and learn to live with them because when you are out not even your parents will be available all the time to take you through.

Trip

It is important. It can be for 1 day or a week but a trip with your school buds is a must. Life may not give you a chance to sit with all of them together again.

Organize

We can be a bit messy sometimes. So check everything you need in college again. And don’t forget to prepare a resume (comes in handy).

Love

We Indians are shy with opposite gender. Make sure you and your crush get to know each other if not confessing your feelings.

Relax

Don’t be too tensed every student has been down this road. At this point of time you just need to create memories and stories that you can cherish till your last breath.
