Journey To The Joyfulness

You've probably already wondered what university campus will be like. Will it be like home? Will it be like your high school experience? Will you be able to handle it? Will it be fun and exciting? Will it be scary and nerve-wracking? Well, to my experience, it is not so bad. In fact, i have waited since my childhood for this day. 

The university schedule and atmosphere is very different than the traditional high school schedule and culture. Typically, there is a lot more flexibility with your classes. A complete new experience in short. I used to visualize about my first day in campus but what I actually saw and felt it was completely different (in a good way, of course).  

I have met my classmates who had an amazing personality towards me and helped me throughout the day without any hesitations. Teachers were very friendly and inspiring as well. For a moment I didn't feel it was my first day. Just like we see in Hollywood movies, a campus with full of varieties, interesting groups and people, interior and exterior, atmosphere of the canteen, environment of classes, way of teaching, new and innovative techniques and tactics of teaching- everything was there. I would say more than that. For me, it was a dream I was living the whole time.

The friends I have got in my first day, have became my best friends. If you're welcoming enough and open up yourself to welcome new people in your life then definitely you will find at least one best friend from your very first day. I was nervous like a maniac on my first day at the same time I was bursting out of excitement but I was completely open for anything, whether good or bad. Therefore, this attitude of mine gave me some best persons of my life with whom I can be myself without even thinking. I won't say be prepared for your first day to anyone. The journey from the moment you step out till you get back home will be the best day of your life if you go as a free bird without having any ideas of its destination. 

The best way to see what a true day in the life of a campus- is just be yourself and keep your mind and heart open for everyone and everything.
