If you are reading this, I would like to tell you that college life is the best life for all the students where they can do whatever they want.
Till you were in school, your parents used to keep their eyes on you but when you enter college, there are so many changes. Parents also start giving freedom to their children so that they can
learn how to live life. College life is an exciting experience, but there are loads of challenges and choices to make when you first start.

Hostel life
The first challenge is leaving our home and shifting to the hostel. The most important thing is to adjust with our roommates who eventually become our family there. If they are a blessing of God to you, then your survival in the hostel will be wonderful and exciting but if they are rude, then it will be very tough for you to live in that environment. We make so many friends and some become so close, that we start sharing each and every moment of our life with them. We also get good suggestions from them. Here, people go to sleep at around 2 AM or 3 AM because, before that, everyone is busy talking, shouting, dancing, and studying. The late-night gossip, sharing of clothes and boots, and sharing of food make life very interesting. Helping others in their difficult situations and giving them advice, laughing with each other and pulling one another’s leg is what makes our everyday memorable.

Mess life
On entering the hostel, the first thing we see is the mess. The word “MESS” makes us feel that we would not get tasty food anymore. It is often very tough to adjust to the food because the taste of every dish is different. The taste of the food is always different from your homemade food that is made by your mother. So it is sometimes hard to accept but in the long run you tend to adapt and love the food.

Group study
Now let’s come to group study. In a group, there are different types of students. Learning in a group is very important because students usually keep everything in their minds when it is
taught by their friends. During group study, the most important things are ”Phone and Earphones”.

Everyone puts their earphones on and listens to songs while solving problems which gives a good vibe. During exam preparations, group study becomes an easy process which helps to complete the syllabus. Studying the whole night before an exam is another type of feeling. Every friend in a group study tries to put in his/her best effort so that no one faces any problem.
