We often fail to realize that things can end because we
take them for granted and assume they will always be there but when they are
gone, we find a huge part of our life missing. Time and tide waits for none and
when we have time, when we have the thing, we are always looking for something
better, we fail to see the importance of the things and the realization that
its not going to be their anymore, we want to go back into time crawling and
make up for the time we lost.
"Appreciate what you have before it becomes what you
had"
Today when my college life is ending i realize that too
many things have ended. Its an end to classrooms, an end to books and bags, its
an end to canteen, its an end to projects, its an end to exams, its an end to
make ups, breakups and patch ups, its an end to "Gooood morninggg
sir"...and as we enter the new phase of life, the transition is going to
make it worse and make us miss those golden days where friends were life and
life was simple. Going to college everyday and attending the lectures made it
monotonous and at some point of time we all were bored but today we miss it the
most.
We live
in a world where we are busy being worried about all the wrong things, at all
the wrong times. We all believe that we are entitled to everything that we have
and never truly appreciate anything that we have until it’s gone. We take too
much for granted- only when those things are gone do we realize how important
they truly were to us.

The realization that your best friend is shifting to
another location, your group is going to be busy in their respective jobs, you
are not going to see your crush again and the little bit regret we might have
of not being able to make the most of those days made us cry. We all went
through ups and downs, we all made mistakes, we all were judgmental, we all
held grudges but in the ended nothing mattered to anyone. Everyone was happy
with the bouquet of memories they received to cherish for life time. We all got
stories to share where on or the other person is a part of it, we all have
something to remember about everyone. Tomorrow when we attend a college event
and see the topper receiving an award we will remember the topper of our times,
tomorrow when we see a gang of college friends enjoying tea and laughing
heartily, we will remember how we used to do it, tomorrow when we see tensed
faces studying in a cafe, we will miss our group studies, when we will see a
group of collegians at a restaurant, we will miss the people with whom we had
shared our tiffin box, it will all come back rushing...
“Don’t take things for granted because
they might not be there tomorrow.”
Tomorrow when life becomes busy and we will be mounted with
responsibilities, we will crave to go back to college once. Sometimes you hold
back from expressing, sometimes you turn yourself into a rock and sometimes you
have so much to say that you don't understand how to pour it out. When you realize that you have to leave this makeshift
world and that the friendships that form it are going to be reduced to Facebook
likes and Tweets – despite the promises of “staying in touch” on farewell day –
it makes you a little despondent.
But i am hopeful that this wouldn't be
case here and we will actually stay connected because we all have given each
other enough reasons to miss each other.
Thank you professors for being more our
friends, philosopher, guides and parents and imparting us the valuable learning that will help us face the world. Thank you for sculpting
us and shaping our lives.
Thank you friends for all the memories you have given to
cherish for rest of my life and making our college and the journey, a part
which i want to revisit over and over again.
"If you want a happy ending that
depends, of course, on where you stop your story."
