Sweet memories are like the sweet flowers. They become a source of happiness in the depressing drama of life. Usually,hard experiences teach us wisdom. The person who learns nothing from the dark past should expect nothing from the bright future. Though the memory of my first day at college is a bit better,it is shining in my mind's eye like the smiling tears.
my first day at college is an important event of my life. To me it is an unforgettable day. During my school days. I had a glimpse of college life from my elder brothers and sisters. I was most curiously awaiting the day when I would start my college life. I thought that the college life would offer me a free life; here restrictions would be few and threat of teachers would be little. At last the longed for day came in.
I was admitted to the government college of my city. I entered the college premises with new hopes and aspirations. I was glad to see that the college presented a new sight. It was quite different from what I had seen in and around our school. I came across many unknown faces.
I had some very strange experiences on the first day of my college life. I was baffled to see students playing indoor and outdoor games and enjoying radio programs during class-hours. There is no restriction of uniform. I observed that the students are free in their movements. They can do things according to their choice.
It was a sunny day of spring.I with my friends went to the college for the first time. We were excited and eager for learning. Still we were a furlong away from our college when a group of horrified student told us that some senior students were waiting for us to make the first year fools. We began to tremble with fear. We turned pale. We could not utter a word.
They told us that the seniors wanted to adorn the students of first year with different colors,rags and the wreaths of old shoes. Our blooming faces fell down as the blooming flowers scatter in a heavy rain. Eventually,the president of the college union appeared there like a sudden wave of grace. We told him our problem. He smiled and encouraged us to face the situation. However,he helped us and escorted us to the gate of the college. He asked the other students not to harass us. We became happy to be safe so nicely. We came to the play ground. The naughty senior students reached there. They began to make us first year fool. We reminded them of the advice of the president of the college union. They laughed and asked me to put on a tattered shirt. I did so. They displayed a placard at the chest of my friend. The word"scarecrow" was written on it. A boy with a wreath of old shoes advanced to a friend of mine. He observing the situation minutely ran in one direction. Some boys ran after him. We took advantage of the situation and ran in the opposite direction. Some boys ran after us. To our bad luck our path ended at the verge of a field soggy with the recent irrigation. We hesitated a moment but horrified by the chasing party,we jumped onto the sodden field. The senior students stopped at the brink and laughed loudly to see us in this crisis. We were however relaxed to be away from the grave risk. How we reached our houses is another story to be told. It is how i spent my first day at college
