First, let me take a deep breath. Whoa! It's been one year since college began and although, it hasn't been as exciting as it looks from the outside, it's not been that bad, either. Infact, It's not even half bad. So, I'm a student of DU who was enrolled under the hastily introduced FYUP which would hold a rather debatable expansion; Four Year Undergraduate Programme or F*ck Yourself Undergraduate Programme. But, let's leave it to that. The termination of this new system came as hurriedly as its implementation, and so we are back to being students of the Three Year Undergraduate Programme.                                    Anyhow, apart from being treated as the official guinea pigs by the Great Indian Education System, there has been a lot to it. Basically, I'm going to talk of how my first year of college has been like. You may or may not exactly relate to it since it is an entirely personal and first hand experience of a freshers' year.

It may be the busy schedules and long working hours but I'm sure none of us worked too hard to get that curve straight.  We grieve over little issues, knowingly or unknowingly make ourselves the victims of depression and let stress be synonymous with life but hey, you're alive.  Sometimes, we become so accustomed to the sad side of us that we forget the last time we were even close to happy. I know, things go wrong, we all screw up but that's not a reason to stop being happy. We can learn to smile, again.  How much I miss that person who could make me laugh at the lamest joke on earth and make me smile through the tears. It were those carefree and problem-free days that I wish I had some more. But you know what,
