Last Few Weeks of University Life

College is a time of self-discovery, beer, learning, beer, friends, beer, planning for the future, beer, boundless energy and beer. After a few years, you leave university and look for a job that will eventually pay off all those loans haunting you. So my days are closing in!!! In the next two weeks I’ll be done with my MBA/MCom and my student life will finally come to an end.

I still remember getting advice from all the grey haired people telling me to pursue my post graduate study after working for a couple of years but I just felt like I couldn’t get enough of college days and therefore I decided that I wanted to do my Masters so that I could get another 2 years of college life.
Every time I enter the university now, I let the whole journey sink in. I still remember the day I landed in Australia and had a chauffeur driven service right to Deakin University and as I got out of the car I saw a massive structure of the university and I felt ‘WOW’ only to discover later, the university was a much much larger area than what I had seen. Though I dint attend too many lectures, but I have been loitering around the university campus almost everyday and I know I’m gonna miss every bit of it. The library, the coffee shop, bldg B and the Mac lab, Cafe at HE where I used to have my favorite Chicken Parma, the walk through the creek which always made me nostalgic and the tall trees and the cold winds always reminded me of Goa.

It’s time now to move onto a different phase in life from being a student to entering into the working class. Hopefully things will click for the best and I’ll be able to build memories of this new phase that I will cherish in the years to come. It takes courage and optimism to move to another country, and to study and work in a culture radically different from one’s own and I’m glad that I have made the best of a unique opportunity.
