With the admission process on the roll, and students scuttling from one college to another, I too stood in the long queue of admission aspirants on the first day of DU admissions with beads of sweat adorning my forehead, feeling completely skeptical. I wasn't sure of my choice. Hell, I wasn't sure of anything.
The uncertainty of the future stood right in front of me with an intimidating shadow.
And then, all of a sudden, in the midst of all this, I started missing my school.
School: the place of certainty.
The ‘safe’ place.
And I wanted to go crawling back.
And not just my friends, I missed everything about school. The boring assemblies, the quiet moral science periods, the hilarious acting sessions in class, the private talks in empty corridors, canteen food, PT periods, even the vigorous ‘note-taking’ sessions that I wasn’t particularly a big fan of.
JUST EVERYTHING.
For a few moments, I just simply zoned out of reality. I was there in the room yet, not there at all.
It’s actually really funny.
The very school I'd crib about everyday is the very place I long to be at this very instant.
The assurance of a place to go to, a class to sit in, teachers to look up to and friends to talk to as against this total chaos.
Anyway, I guess this is a part of life. To learn through your own experience how ungrateful we humans are when we have something, and how we begin to value things only after we lose them.
I don't think one can ever get over school. It's not such a surprise anymore why my mother always uses the term, 'golden years' to describe school life in general.
It’s kind of sad. My golden days are over…
I know this little window of melancholia is just a phase, and it will pass. But I’ve had one of the most amazing school lives of all times and college better pull up it’s socks when we meet because it's in for some major competition!
