During the last days of college, there is a build up of emotions, there is this- last trip, last submissions, last lecture, last exams, last photograph.
And then there is an end to it. It is an emotional moment, realizing the transition that life is going through.
But, on the last day of my college life, I felt extremely relieved after finishing a lengthy theory paper that hence forth I no longer have to write and write really long till the papers were snatched.

One last time..
It was the last day in college. Emotions were at an all-time high.
The moment which we dreaded the most had arrived.The fear of not seeing each other again for a very long time or maybe forever was looming large. It was the time to say a final goodbye to everyone.Selfies, handshakes and high fives were the order of the day. Besties simply hugged.
Some were leaving the country in a few days and some were about to get married. A few had to look at their crushes for one last time.
Surprisingly the back benchers were the ones thanking the teachers.
In the midst of all this chaos I saw her. She was fighting tears, all alone. I imagined myself standing next to her.But the place was already taken.I was there right in front of her and as always she never noticed.
She didn’t have to.
She was boarding the college bus.
My heart longed for her to turn around and look at me just for one moment, just one. If she would turn, the cold winds would stop.
But then, you know what happens, unlike in movies, in our real world. The bus left leaving some smoke which engulfed me in her dreams. Yes, memories and dreams were all I was left with.Well, this was the day to let go of people, to let go of places and maybe even memories.
I took a stroll around the serene campus looking at our classrooms where we had those petty fights, where we mocked our friends & where we had teased our teachers.
The walls knew our deepest secrets.
It felt like the doors were whispering my name, asking me to come and join them for one last time.I too whispered back to them.
For one last time we all vowed to each other that we will meet at least once in a year and deep inside we knew how little this was possible. .

That is one of the strangest feelings. You will feel happy, sad, insecure and excited at the same time. Actually I am going through these feelings right now. I'm going through the last month of my university and I'm feeling happy because I will get rid of the university (I didnt have such a great time there), sad because I will miss my friends and everything we did, and at the same time excited and insecure about my future.

I'm in my last year of Engineering in a college in Mumbai. Currently, I'm appearing for my 8th semester exams.
I'll just share my experience of the final days in my college.
In the last few days we all were pretty busy in our files completion process and our final-year projects. To add to our woes, we also had our mid terms after that. So, basically no one was thinking much about these being the last days of our college.
However, after our last paper we had our official farewell by our college. Each branch had videos made by their peers and were displayed on a screen. Ours was a 15-20 minutes long video and all the pictures spanning from our first year IV to our last year Goa trip were displayed.
Going through all these pictures, we re-lived all those moments and had tears in our eyes. We laughed at some of our crazy pictures simultaneously crying that this may be one of our last meetings or outings as a class.
All our friends gave each other a hug and shared their memories. Some of them were hilarious , made us laugh like crazy. There were tears in almost everyone's eyes and all trying to stop them.
We took a hell lot of pictures with almost all of our friends in college, saving those precious moments forever.
I still remember the outings and night outs with my friends ,single guys advising other guys in relationships. Making fun of others and laughing a lot till the point that our stomach aches.
I feel happy that I've learned so much from my friends, teachers and sad that I may never get to learn any more from them.
In short, we're gonna miss our college days.
This Hindi song sums up our college life. Listen to this and you'll surely have tears in your eyes.

I 'll jot down my own feelings:
It's not something just amazing or great but beyond explainable in simpler terms.
It gave me some of the best experiences which totally turned me briefed as:
Every good things you do, won't give you back good, but definitely something right and better for yourself.
Friends are always important to have. Without them you can't even think to drag your feet out for sipping a coffee at a nearby cafe. Or enjoy joints, write in exams whose preoperative time was occupied in either panic or sleeping or adventurous midnite chores of visiting each other's room even at 3 in morning.
Depending on just one person, the one staring you down when you look at the mirror.
There's no need to hurry for anything. When it has to be done it will get done. No assignment is that necessary to skip a chat with a newly added friend going into bag.
Never expect return of your lend money, especially when that friend asks you for more than twice.
Responsibilities always scares the shit out of you but gives you strength and experience.
Always have one person in life who'll support you without even pretending that he/she is. You'll find them right time at the right spot when you need them the most. Not necessarily love, friends are too. (Hopefully I m lucky in this one :) ).
Love is a waste of time. But still necessarily have it. It teaches to care about people. To respect others and keep that emotional tab on.
Never let your friend in problem be alone. He'll mess it.
Be ready for anything, but never forget to prioritize your aim. It's better to know it rather than finding it.
Now comes the feelings:
Seriously its like it's the end to immature fun, the innocent and silly things we did will no more be there.
We have to work no long sleeps, no more pocket money from dad.
Narrowed approachability to girls (being in mechanical, was too unlucky).
People including your own friends will change and will be lost. Knowing it....it sux.
Nothing will be there to go everyday to hangout rather then giving our efforts.
No job in pocket is very troublesome. There are multiple pressures.
Expectations also screws us out.
Still after 4 months and 12 days, it will come.
We have to be like grown ups, think, talk act with responsibilities.
I'll miss it out but....

It was a fine yet hot and humid morning in Mumbai on 1st June, 2015.
But yet, for her something was different that day. It was her last day of college life. It was finally here.
Although her mind was occupied with tension for her last exam of the semester, her heart seemed to be lost else where!
While waiting on the station for her friends to accompany her, she held a textbook in hand meaning to revise well before appearing for the exam.
But then a song started in her ear phones and she just couldn't concentrate anymore.
Beautiful lyrics fell on her ears... "Yaaron Dosti badi hi haseen hai, yeh na ho toh kya phir bolo yeh zindagi hai.."
And suddenly yet most wonderfully a slideshow of memories flooded her mind as if it was just waiting to be recalled!
Right from the first year, her best friend and she would always meet here and walk to college together. And gradually apart from the two, more also joined in the morning journey. Everyday morning would have new stories on the same old topics.. Crowded trains, first lectures, and weekend diaries. On entering the classroom finding a place according to the mood was a habit then. Good mood,want to have fun, eye the last benches. And if late, just simply stay put on the first or second benches. Throughout the day talking during lectures was an art! Passing chits, talking without moving your lips and of course that opening of tiffins under the desk to satiate the hungry monster that arose inside us! And during lunch break, it had become a protocol in these many years. Everyone would huddle around one or two benches. Pass their tiffins in the ring. (The more interesting tiffins would get over faster obviously!!) And the last few minutes of the break dedicated to moving out of the college and stopping by one of the stalls to drink lassi or have dairy milks! The day would again end with walking back to the station, sometimes after eating road side vada paavs and dabelis or sandwiches because even if not hungry the smell may be irresistible!
Apart from the daily routines, there were so many other memoirs to recollect! Those beautiful birthday surprises for everyone. Those one day picnics. The class trip. The "Days" celebrated in college. The felicitation of our wonderful teachers for bearing with a notorious class like ours! The fresher's party and the farewell party! What a difference! And of course the dreaded exams! Exams! Her mind came racing back to the present! She was staring at the same page in the book. The song in her earphones had already changed! Everything had changed, she realised. Yes, Everything!
From tomorrow, there would be nothing of it! Nothing at all! It was bound to change. She knew it, she was dreading it since the past whole year. Since the time, everyone started using #OneLastTime
But now that it was here, she didnt really understand what her feelings were! In a few hours time, she would be a graduate. And that would change the perspective of life. She didn't know what to think! She was really happy, the way they had enjoyed in the last few months, she never had such beautiful time before! But its an end now! She didn't want it to end. It was the first real parting of ways for her now. (Naah, she never had good school friends with whom she didn't want to part!) These 4 years of her life had taught her many things and given her friends for a lifetime! She knew some things, some relations would never change! But she will definitely miss all the daily drama that unfolded! She will miss those lectures, those corridors, walking to college, and every small thing that became a part of her routine. Just then, she raises her head and sees two of her friends walk towards her and once again she is reminded of the forgotten exam! She forces out all the thoughts and emotions to come back to revising.
A few hours later, exam is now over. The class had a great time post exams with having their own awards and watching a video bringing back the memories of a journey they embarked on together and how it came to a beautiful end! She was really ecstatic! Who wouldn't be when you see a glimpse of the past! She once again realises how badly she is going to miss all of this! But she very well knows she is yet not fully aware of what these good-byes mean. She still feels that its just a vacation and within a month everyone would be back to the same routine! But then her mind tells her heart to accept the reality. The heart replies, "Oh of course I will! This is just the Beginning of An End. One day, the realisation will dawn on me and that day I will have the support of these wonderful memories to brace this end! But I just have one request for you!" "What!?", the mind asked. " Please let all this be real and not a dream! I can be content with having these 4 years as a great past, but I couldn't bear it if I knew that I woke up to find that this is all a dream and I have not any such friends!" With these thoughts, once again she prays to God to let it all be real and steps out of the college gate for one last time!
Thank you Rahul for the A2A.
