Forbidden Fruits of College Life

College days, in general, are a lot of fun. You get to make new friends, hang in and around the campus and participate in extra-curricular activities. But this is just the lighter side of being a college student.

You have to deal with all the serious stuff, too – like assignment deadlines, lack of attendance, semester exam preparation, shortage of money and much more.

While these things are a part and parcel of being a college student, what makes them fun is the fact that everyone is together in the time of crisis and there is a tinge of humour in everything.

After all, these are the days to remember.

If you’ve just joined college, then be prepared! These things are about to come your way.

When poor attendance gives you nightmares

After bunking a lot of lectures to catch a movie or hangout with your friends, it’s that moment when you realize your attendance is short and you wouldn’t be allowed to sit in the exam if you do not wake up on time and make up for the classes you’ve missed.

The late nights to meet assignment deadline

After gallivanting for an entire semester, you finally put an end to procrastination and burn the midnight oil to complete all your projects on time. And you would agree that it’s nothing short of an achievement to complete all the assignments before the deadline.

When you burn a hole in your own pocket

College is a time when you end up spending the most on movies, food and fun. Hence, your pockets are always empty and you either end up begging for money from your parents or just borrowing it from your friends.

College seems a Fashion Runway

The first thing to make you realize you’ve entered college life is the fact that you don’t have to wear uniforms anymore and you are free to wear anything you want (except anything obscene). However, the unprecedented fashion sense of some students will take you by surprise and will also put you under a lot of pressure to review your own wardrobe.

When you enter the ‘Wannabe Cool’ zone

You will constantly feel the urge to be a part of the so-called ‘Cool’ group in college. You would want to look like them, hang out with them, and accompany them for night-outs. You will do everything that takes it to be part of the 'happening zone'.
