10 Things I wish i Knew When i Was in College

If time machines had been invented by now the only place which will be more crowded than any other would be college campuses. It is a common belief that the best times spend in our lives are at college canteens, back benches, campus hotspots etc. and iam an ardent believer too. Those three years are so precious that iam ready to give thirty years (Just kidding) in return for all the fun to fall back. I have already finished 5 years out of campus in this evil competative helpless world and it still feels like yesterday when i felt the first breeze in the campus (enough melodrama for now). So now lets get to the point 10 things i wish knew when i was in college



1) What iam studying now will never be used and needed in the real world (sounds surprising but many of you can relate with this)




2) As long as you pass the exams nobody will ask your grades and percentages in college, somuch for all the extra effort and sleepless nights (trying to look studious) spend studying.




3) Should have made more and more friends because these are the ones who will stick with you throughout your life.




4) Economic theories and statistical equations are useless in real life unless you are part of toastmasters and is asked to speak about global recession when you can brag about all technical terms like DEMAND, SUPPLY,GDP, GNP etc....




5) The university will be really slow in processing degree certificates and if you miss the first chance to apply there are high chances you will never get them, like me (my dad still thinks i messed up my degree because i dont have a certificate yet)




6)CAT, MAT, ZAT etc are three letter words and not end of days and you will have really low chances when all the jobless engineers with their high expertise in maths and data interpretation are there to compete (now you know i didnt make the CAT list also)




7) The real world outside is very mean and ruthless and college is the only place where you wont get crucified for mistakes and carelessness. so it is the last heaven on earth.




8) Should have fallen in love head over heels with someone for the sake of it and college romance is something i really missed on (that is if you dont consider all the failed infactuations, crushed crushes and one sided admirations). So if you are out there now catch the first cute girl near you and propose her on your knees.




9) Bunking classes were the best things to do, so i culd have had more of those delicious egg puffs, choclate choos and hot cakes from the canteen ( me the foodaholic or food maniac) dont repent on bunking classes you wont learn anything usefull sitting in there.




10) I would miss college life so much that i will spen a boring hour writing a blog about it, which some other bored college drp outs will spend time reading on
