Take a Bow

I went to college sometime back, Third Year is over and we're all 'studying' now during our leave and the first thing that struck me was that I barely recognised any of the faces there. With that I got this weird feeling in my gut that those three years that I spent here, most of the time cribbing about how bored and monotonous life was becoming, I would do anything to be back in First Year, do over things that I should have done. It's times like these that you really wish a time machine was invented already. Most of us or at least some of us are faced with this black hole that represents our future, unpredictable, not so clear and scary. God knows I am scared to death and when I was back in college, staring at a surprisingly empty foyer, I was surprised to find out that I was missing faces that were familiar to me, even ones that I'm not too fond of but the feeling that you get knowing that those faces that you were so used to spotting every single morning for the last three years are suddenly gone is overwhelming and you most probably won't be seeing most of them in a very long time or ever for that matter. I guess its not the faces that have me worked up, its the fact that my comfort zone is no longer mine. I'm seeing my juniors go to their final year and God! I'm wondering where the hell did this last year go, it really wasn't so long ago that we were jumping over our majors, the relief that we got when we finally got them. I'm pretty sure some of us danced :P And we were gearing up for post grad exams, searching for jobs, graduation seemed light years away and now we're all preparing to leave. I have to admit- I'm not a huge fan of this feeling but I'm a little excited as well, its like you've written a story, reached the ending and then everything is wiped clean to start over with something brand new. I just hope that that brand new beginning spells good fortune for all of us.
