The transition from school to college is an inevitable thing in one’s life. The transition usually begins with a season of filling slam books, sharing farewell photographs and hours of brainstorming on choosing a proper course and place of study for the next few years and ends up when one gets used to bunking classes, taking notes in the classes, doing more reference work for study, hanging out at canteen frequently and may be it is complete after getting an answer for the question- "How to utilize the newly found freedom and time in a proper manner?"
Almost everything changes in a student’s life right from the mode of transportation (from cycles to motorbikes or even car if the family is wealthy!) to the attitude inside the classroom. You get respect from people around you including your parents and teachers during this phase and it becomes one’s responsibility to keep it up. A rapid transformation comes both physically as well as mentally and the approach to studies at college makes even below average students at school to be toppers. A deep desire to learn things comes out of interest for a better career in the place of rote learning done at school level just for getting marks.
For some, this transition becomes a smooth one but for others it becomes a smooth one only after some struggle. A lot of lessons like marks are not the only thing for a prosperous future but it is how we portray ourselves to the world are learnt in the first few days. A change in the lifestyle occurs, life which was once like living in a secured shell at the school level takes a new shape with exposure and the responsibility to be careful and stay away from drugs and other habits that may spoil one’s life coming into place. Once this transition gets over resulting in a positive transformation then the rest of the college life becomes a season of joy, love, friendship and a pleasurable learning experience.
