What happens when you move to a new city for college? What happens to the friendships back home? I obviously can't talk for everyone, in my case at least, I kind of became a recluse for some period. I hardly had any friends in college and I missed my friends back home. And top o fit all, I didn't have the time, to call them up. College was hectic from the first week. There was some part of me that wondered if I'll end up friendless? In my imagination, by the time I finished college, my friends at home would forget me and my college friends (if I manage to make any) would forget me after college is over. I know. I know. It's pretty stupid. I realized that.
I was worried for only 2 weeks. By the end of 2 weeks I realized, my friends won't forget me. And I have meaning and strong bonds with people that doesn't require daily texting. A call once a fortnight was more than enough. But let me tell you, the calls went on for hours and never felt like something had changed. Within 2 weeks of college, I realized that people who are meant to be will find a way to stick around. Now, talking about relationships would be incomplete if I don't mention my parents. Let me tell you something very honestly, I never got along with my mom. There have been times when we didn't talk to each other for 3 whole months. But since the day college started, there hasn't been a single day where she hasn't called me twice. Same with my dad. Two calls a day - mandatory. There have been days when their calls annoy me, but I guess that's what parents do, they annoy you, but they're there for you हमेशा
And for the record, college affects your previous relationships. You make new friends, you spend most of your time with them, you only catch up with your old friends once in a while. I feel this either strengthens friendships or fades them away. And this is inevitable. And you also realize who are the people who really matter to you and for whom you matter.
Okay, I'll stop my प्रवचन now.
Out of the entire week, today's class was the most boring. I tried to pay attention, I really did, but after 30 min I couldn't. We have 2 faculties and 2 TAs for the class and all 4 of them are equally boring. By the way, the class is called "People, culture and society". I thought this would interesting, to be honest the subject is, the faculties and the TAs have made it extremely boring. To prevent myself from falling asleep I made origami butterflies during class.
