Today marks the end of my second year at college. I wondered today where and when time flew by. It seems like just yesterday that I walked into a large college, not yet ready to call it my own, intimidated by the seniors around me, unaware of how to conduct myself, clueless about my future and lost in a sea of strangers. Today, two years later, I can't imagine my days off that campus. Today I walk confidently, I wave and beam at every friend I pass, I know who I am and where I stand, I feel at home in that college. That college which is now a haven to me. Even though I still have one whole year of college left before I graduate, I feel like time is slipping from between my fingers.
As I bid adieu to my seniors, I wonder how hard it will be to leave this place next year. This place that has made me wake up and and go to bed at unearthly hours, travel for hours, walk endlessly and study like a dog. This place that has given me the most wonderful friends, innumerable plates of food, piping-hot-early-morning-teas, laughter fits, silent solace, guidance, a sanctuary to read and write in, knowledge far beyond my syllabus and the ability to dream. I realize that letting go of my seemingly ceaseless college routine would be ridiculously difficult to do. The future scares me and makes me appreciate just how secure and stable my life currently is. Even though I wish for adventure and uncertainty, the stark amount of it laying in wait for me is intimidating.
Today, I walked all around town with my friends- scanning through book stalls, shuffling through crowded lanes and crossing main roads.We ended up at Marine Drive, just in time for sunset. Now, it seems like the most perfect end for the day.
I've decided to take on the 100 Happy Days Challenge starting today. I hope to write something everyday along with every picture that I upload. My photo for today is that sunset. Because it made me happy. And I'd like to remember it.
