Nothing can beat or bring back the feeling of the first day you step into your college, your home for the next few years. There is a little bit of nerves and a whole lot of anticipation for those stepping out of the comfort of their schools into a whole new world that is college. But this is also the time when you discover new things, make new friends and have a whole lot fun. Here are a few reasons why first year in college is the most special:A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.- Theodore Roosevelt
1. After school, college is like a breath of fresh
year: no fixed uniform, no bar on coloring your hair or showing off the tattoo
you’ve got. The new found freedom in college is an amazing feeling.
2. You get pampered by your seniors: being the
junior-most has its perks. You get pampered by seniors ready to show your ropes,
give advice regarding classes, as well as occasional treats. Ragging is a thing
of past (on most campuses), thanks to the strict laws, so there is nothing to
be afraid of.
3. Teachers mark your answer scripts quite
leniently: for a change, most teachers are quite benevolent with marks,
allowing you to settle down, unlike in the second or third years.
4. You can get away with a lot of things: the
leniency of some teachers also carries over to ignoring things like bunking
classes and playing on your phone in class. All the rules, whether carrying your
ID cards or adhering to the dress code (for some colleges), are a little more
lax for the first few months because you are new.
5. You have two more years before you must focus on
your future: once in college, you can afford to relax for the first year before
the pressure of internships or learning new languages or choosing a career
path. The board exam is usually tough, so for a change take break from your
worries.
6. Canteen food will still taste delicious: you
will fall in love with the canteen food to the extent that you will treat your
friends on your birthdays at canteen instead of at KFC. However, by the time
you are in third year…well, let’s not spoil it for you guys.
7. You like everybody in college (well, almost):
the first year is paradise when it comes to friends. You hardly know each other
to start clan wars. Enjoy it. In time you’ll find out who your true friends
are.
