look who's counting.....

178 days left!!!!

Its funny the power time has over us. I still remember when I was in the second standard. I stood in my dark green tunic outside the senior’s block at school and looked at the tall building. It was to be my home for the next nine years. At that point I vividly remember asking myself…when will I finish studying and star living?????? Only if I had known that I always knew the answer. …… but at taht point ...I was not ready for it.
I realized now…. but that does not mean that I am ready for it. But it is part of a change called growing up…its called Life’s Not Fair syndrome….
Now that the messages have started making the rounds about how we have only limited time left at college…I guess everybody is making an extra effort to make these last few days actually count.
What can I say…five years in this place and not one day has been the same. Every year has thrown up different challenges…some that have been victorious dealt with and …some…a bit of failed disappointments …but not once regretful. Wonderful people…. wonderful experiences..I have to thank god for everything I have had and many things I did not.
Next year all of this will be a thing of the past…we are all moving on and we cant stop. Its like trying to hold sand in your palm…the tighter your grip .…the more that sand slips out. Its not that I am sad that college is going to end. In many ways it’s the beginning of life actually. A new adventure. A new roller coaster ride with its own ups and downs.
Its just that….I was kinda getting fond of this old roller coaster.
Its funny how we take things for granted in life. The grass always seems greener on the other side. Two years of brilliant prospects of friendship, unity, awesome fun and even love, was lost to a lot of unwanted things now reducing us into a struggle to live every possible moment in these last few days. Our class has suddenly realized that we, as a group, are identities to their future. Everyone is frantically searching for good memories that will form their “college life”. Every one is getting to know each other and silently regretting the time wasted. Suddenly everyone is realizing that this is the end of life, as they know it. Come graduation and everyone will be on their separate ways and things will never be the same again. Everyone is searching…. for something lost…for something new…something to leave behind …for something to be a part of their lives.
Its funny how life works….
It’s all in the way you look at it right? An eternity could pass in a moment…. and a moment could last for a lifetime….
Yes…it’s all in the way you look at it.
Start looking.
Ciao
