Life in DU..

Never come to DU with expectations!

Because it’s magical and beyond your imagination!

Being in a co-ed school and then landing up in convent college like JMC was no less than a shock for me. Yes I was scared, scared to be able to fit in. What if I just want to run away? Leaving the comfort of my home and coming to an all new city where you knew no one, it requires guts, and I’m glad that I did. Living away has a charm of it’s own. For once, all of us lazy kids get to do the adult stuff, stuff that helps us change, grow, develop, that actually gives us the feeling that we’ve grown up.

But all of this has it’s own perks. The freedom, I will never trade that for anything in this world.

Coming to a girls college, people threw all kinds of opinions and stereotypes at me. But I’m proud to say that I didn’t let any of those things get to me, I experienced it myself and yes I’m glad I came here. All my friends in other co-ed colleges still mock me, say things, stereotype a girls only college. But to all those people I want to say, coming here was a damn right decision and I am very proud of it.

People always have their own opinions about girls in an all girls college arrangement. If you go to a girls only college you’ll become that very girly girl, you’ll be all gossipy and stuff. Mean Girls you see!

But it’s nothing like that. The best thing about a girls only college I feel is that you can be yourself, you don’t pretend. You’re not worried about what others are thinking about you when you’re inside the holy boundaries of this college, you’re not worried of being totally insane that you are. Just turn on the music and start dancing with your girl gang, anywhere and anytime, no shame!
And after some time you start liking the way you live in a pg, having an amazing slumber party every single day. Those people become family. You start surviving on pg food and a break from that food really gives a kind of satisfaction that can’t really be explained. Also going back home in vacations is no less than a scene from Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. Your family is just too excited (like Jaya Bachchan with a thaali you see!) to just welcome you back and pamper you in every way possible!

Studying in a girls only college really boosts up ones confident because obviously, girls are more competitive. You get to learn so much and it prepares you for the world out there.

I’ve learnt so much from these few months that I can’t wait to see what this rollercoaster of a journey has in store for me next.
