5 Very Cool Things About College

Meeting your BFFs: Because you’re on your own for the first time, the friends you make in college become like a surrogate family. And those bonds tend to be lasting ones.

Not having a curfew: Now that Mom and Dad aren’t waiting up, you can come home pretty much whenever you want...if at all.

Getting a fresh start: College is a clean slate — no one will know you had a nose job or were considered part of the nerd herd in high school. Plus, with so many students with diverse interests, you’ll easily be able to find people who are your type.

Enjoying more free time: Because you have more control over your schedule, you may be able to sleep in a few mornings a week and have Fridays off entirely.

Taking interesting classes: A few core requirements aside, you can choose courses that appeal to you and avoid ones that don’t.

If you ain't here at NITC, you may not see the point why I pit this up here; but if you are, well, just, whatever this is, we're all in this together...

I have been scouring the internet lately, hoping to come across something interesting in this city maybe that nobody in college knows about. There isn't a lot of matter on this city in particular but today I finally came across an article that sort of confirmed my worst fears! Following are some excerpts:

There is not much to see or do in this city.

You can walk along the fairly uninteresting beach here...

It is not safe to walk alone on the beach...

And trust me, these were the most interesting parts of the article! You can check out the page yourself at http://www.vegetarian-restaurants.net/India-Guide/IndianStates/Kerala/Kozhikode.htm
However, I also came across this page fron the IIM Kozhikode Students' Portal. I must say it's quite optimistic but after nearly a year and a half here, I find it unbelievable. http://iimklive.com/news/news/kozhikode-one-of-the-best-places-to-live-129-1.html

My blog feels dead, like really...I don't even know why I write the posts that I do write, for I can't see why anybody would be interested in reading the stuff that I write. So, am in a sort of a dilemma, between deleting my blog and going on with posting just anything that comes to my mind. Any votes for either are welcome, yet again, how many will actually come across my blog and read this post.
But anyways, do notice the text scrolling to the left of the page; I don't know how that happened but it looks cool ;)

Less than two weeks left for our second sessionals and it's put me in the mood for blogging once again! Today's id so finally, all the restaraunts in town that have remained closed will finally opening, so we finally got somewhere in the city to go (there's nothing else to do in the city). But that doesn't mean we're going! Everyone's just too lazy to even get off their beds (neither have I yet!). After an extended week last week, these two days off feel like the weekend just got displaced by two days ;)
So me finally in a good mood, but as usual, in this place, there's a lack of things to do, so I'm afraid it may not take long for my high spirits to disappear!
Anyways for the time being, since I don't have any plans to get off the bed anytime soon, I'm gonna try giving my blog a (much needed, I think) new look!

Its been quite some time since my last post; been kinda caught up with college work and stuff. Things are getting sort of stagnant in here now; like I'm getting used to the daily life here except for the occasional shocks we get in class, which is also something I've sort of started expecting...
So things are getting boring again; and tis place is starting to get to me again...

This is what I've been up to all day - decided to do what I love best: reading!
And this was the first thing I found, lying around 'unwanted' in the hostel, labelled 'boring'!!!
But I loved the book, and have been wondering ever since I finished the book: did I like the book because I had nothing else to do or am I that big a nerd that I like any and everything that I read!!

Its onam - I guess it is the most important festival in Kerela because its the only one that's celebrated in college, that too separately by each department; especially considering the fact that there is no fresher's or farewell in this college (waaaah!) I'm like totally totally uder the impression that this is probably 'the' festival for these people.
It's also the only thing we get a holiday for!! And most of the students have gone home; I unfortunately would probably have to turn around half-way if I even attempted trying to go home, to reach back college in time!!
So here I am, stuck in the middle of nowhere, doing nothing when everybody's expecting me to be doing something!! Last year, we were like trapped in the hostel for nearly a week (first year was jail, we weren't allowed to go anywhere except to class!), yet we had a pretty good time, playing stupid games, bitching about our seniors, our fantasies etc. etc. This year however, the situation has changed drastically; with most of my friends busy with their own lives and the rest, glued to their laptops all day (another thing totally beyond me); I realize I am again stuck with no life (reminds me of high school, but again there was no time then to get bored!). Hmmm...so I failed to connect yet again!!
Add to that, an extra disastrous first sessionals this semester, and my whole hope that things will sort out here is fading away not so slowly!!
