Feelings: I went through a lot of weird emotions. Starting with a lot of excitement to pay a visit to the Delhi University and filling in a form to enroll myself, I felt butterflies in my stomach while entering the gates of the college. Felt nostalgic about never being able to go to school again but at the same time experienced unbounded happiness for the newly acquired freedom. Felt a sense of responsibility for being legal and an accountable adult. But all those butterflies were eaten by the mice of my stomach as soon as I entered the canteen…… It was at that place where I crossed oblivion. It was an extremely unique and once in a lifetime experience.
