From Andaman to KIIT: The Voyage

2025-03-20T10:58:02+05:30

By, Uditaa Barman -2nd year BC & J I remember it as clearly as if it were yesterday. The day after the successful moon landing of Chandrayaan 2, another excellent piece of news came to brighten my day. The news for which I had been waiting for almost two months now! I was elated when I found out that my admission to KIIT University, Bhubaneswar, had been confirmed. Tickets were booked, bags packed, and certificates collected from various offices. I checked, rechecked, and checked again. Around 15 times approximately, under my dad's supervision. Having spent the past 17 years of [...]

Letter to my Teenage Self

2025-01-15T17:51:35+05:30

Shweta Dubey , B.Tech ETC  Hi Shweta!!! How are you? Are you doing well? Well, I hope you are. The other day, I was strolling through the neighbourhood, and I saw some girls playing badminton. It reminded me of you—how you used to play badminton with your brother, so full of life. I miss that now because I don't have the time to do all those things due to my busy schedule. This little moment brought back so many memories of you. It is so vivid, as if I could see you standing in front of me —the tall, nerdy [...]

The Lost Childhood

2024-12-12T17:29:16+05:30

Isha Roy ,B.Tech. CSE 2nd year A blue vehicle is what I remember. A blue vehicle which was almost like a cart; it had two wheels in the front and two handles on the opposite side, and it had several compartments filled with many types of bread and biscuits. A bakery cart is what we used to call it. Every evening around 5 o'clock, an old man would roam around our locality pushing a cart and selling bread and biscuits."Po-Po", he would press a bhopu to make that sound and announce his arrival. We children would always make fun of [...]

Healthy Habits I adapted in College

2024-11-21T12:22:06+05:30

Akhya Shriti ( 2332003) Bachelors in Mass Communication and Journalism Hey everyone, Akhya Shriti here! Let's be honest, college life can be a wild ride. Just like everyone else, I've been there: late nights, missed classes, questionable food choices (hello, maggie!) and even forgetting medication sometimes. But here's the surprising thing: college has also helped me develop some pretty awesome healthy habits, almost without even realizing it! College is a funny, FUNNY place..... It makes you into a refined person, especially when ‘You’re on your own, kid’. I used to skip breakfast all the time (big mistake). Now, I'm totally obsessed! [...]

Home is not a Place but a Person

2024-10-29T15:48:59+05:30

Maureen Morris 2nd Year, B.Tech. CSE “Give me a call when you start missing college”, these were the exact words uttered by one of my friends as we prepared to depart for our summer break. When he mentioned it to me at that time, I couldn't help but wonder how I could feel nostalgic for a place in which I had lived for less than a year, when I would be in the comfort of my own home. One week later, although with quite a bit of hesitation, the realization dawned upon me that I have actually started missing college. [...]

The Elder Sibling’s Dilemma

2024-05-14T15:28:00+05:30

Yashvi Aggarwal 2nd Year This is a message for all the elder siblings out there: kindly don’t put so much pressure on yourself to set a good example for your younger siblings. As an older sibling, I can vouch that whenever I see my younger siblings, the first thing that comes to mind is how proud I am of them. It’s just like being their mother, but slightly different. The good part is that I get to be their friend too and share their secrets, which they are too afraid to tell our parents. I get to share their hobbies. I [...]

Power of Positive Peers

2024-04-10T13:38:06+05:30

Yash Mohapatra 2nd Year As a college undergrad, I was sailing the waves of life’s ups and downs. Amid the enthralling chaos of assignments, exams and the pressure to fit in, I found myself struggling to stay afloat. Surrounded by negativity and a fear of failure, I felt like I was losing myself, drowning in a sea of uncertainty. It was during one of those challenging times that I met an angel for now let’s say his name is Amit. Unlike anyone I had ever known, Amit exudes positivity in everything he did. His infectious smile and unwavering optimism seemed almost [...]

People and their Warmth

2024-04-04T14:53:29+05:30

Aryan Singh 3rd Year Sitting down to compose this blog post, I'm engulfed in a whirlwind of emotions. My college experience has been akin to navigating a roller coaster, marked by profound growth, formidable challenges, and unforgettable memories. How lucky it is to have something that makes it so hard to say goodbye. Transitioning from university marks a significant milestone in our lives. For years, our existence has been shaped by lectures, exams, and extracurricular activities. Now, we find ourselves on the precipice of the unfamiliar, poised for a fresh journey into the world. While the prospect of change may seem [...]

Journaling: A Path to Self Exploration

2024-03-30T16:41:46+05:30

Sipra Mishra 2nd Year Have you ever reached that corner of Instagram that features aesthetically pleasing notebooks and ridiculously cute stationery supply? Well, I sure did! I was a seventeen year old stuck at home during COVID with my brain half fried with anxiety while the other half desperately seeked a hobby that didn't involve staring at a screen. It was during this time I discovered journaling and my life has never been the same. I am sure I wasn't the only one whose mental health went for a toss during COVID times. My anxiety had shot through the roof leaving [...]

Uncertain and Ironic

2024-03-21T13:44:11+05:30

Yashvi Aggarwal 2nd Year The thing about life is, it's uncertain and ironic. Every first day of every semester is full of deceitful promises we make to ourselves. "I'm definitely going to get a 9+ SGPA this time."I'm going to go to the gym for sure."I'll cut back on my expenses." and what not. I've made these promises too. Every night I convince myself to be better the next day but slip back into the same old habits by evening and when dark covers the sky again, well, you guessed it right, I hope the next day will be better. Productivity [...]
