College Journey

I still remember how frightened I was on the first day,

couldn't decide how to make friends and what to say.

Each day felt like a huge weight,

but this brought me with new mates.

Didn't know how to respond to a new teacher,

it felt like dealing with a new creature.

The days passed by,

and I shed my fears and learnt not to shy.

The institute became my second house,

me and my friends became like Minnie and Mickey mouse.

Oh! How great were these 3 years,

it changed my perspectives and my wears.

The happy felling of sharing lunch,

and 4 friends fighting for one munch.

Sleeping during lectures and bunking the classes,

have become like a portrait in my glasses.
