The almost end phase

Was not at all prepared.So in the mid of the night,i come to know that our final year selection results are out and i have waited for this day right from the very first day of our college.I still remember,the first day of my graduation class in room 8.We were facing our professor,our present HOD,and she had her back to the wall and it was raining cats and dogs and nothing of what she said, entered my head,for i was preoccupied with how i am going to survive my hostel,my college-Kolkata,for that matter.I used to feel terribly homesick in those initial days but eventually i had to calm down and realize that this was my place,for the next three years.I never thought of anything good about this college.I did not keep expectations of making friends.I thought of concentrating on the purpose,i had come for.But the journey was not easy.I faced things,that i never dreamt of facing.Lonely and frustrating was my first year.Second year was again another bad phase,a time when i completely broke down and this was perhaps the time when my department stood by me and gave me company and this marked the beginning of a bond,that will forever last in my memory.Third year was surprisingly,the best year.I still won't say,that i made friends but then i made memories.They will stay with me and then maybe sometime in the future,it will just pop up in my mind to make me nostalgic and help me smile-the two best elements for a literature student.I don't know what will happen next,and i don't really believe in promises or anything of that sort but the strange feeling that i had today,while seeing all the Facebook updates of my classmates regarding the end of college life,made me realize that the three years are gone,the college life is done and that my wish to leave this college is fulfilled but with a little emptiness.No,i don't want to live those three years again,because with all my ups,i had many downs-with some good people around,i also had the not-so-good people as well and finally with all the good memories there will always remain the feeling of it being so impermanent.The English department of GOKHALE MEMORIAL GIRLS' COLLEGE,will however be dearly missed and a new journey awaits.
