Academics...studies...the intended purpose of joining a college,of studying till now,of willing yourself to get up and go to college everyday... Nope..I love college..In fact,keeping inline with the Matrix philosophy of "Some rules can be bent,others can be broken",I've altered my perception of college to such an extent that I forgot it has anything to do with academics....!!
Let's take a scenario(I love these....)....A typical student...well not so typical..! A student who's been on top almost all of his school life moves to a PU college...From day 1 all he intends to do is do well here...It's a prestigious college,he's enthusiastic about his future from this day on....Then it happens....FRIENDS... Now I'm not the kinda person that places blame on his friends for the lack of responsibility or factor X(as we'll call it)...But like it or not,your friends circle at your teens determines the kind of person you evolve into...
This student makes friends who're more or less around the average mark...They manage to get through the routines of college exams,tests,labs effortlessly...Thanks to their good schooling... But as time passes on they seem to lose the edge,all of them....well..almost all.. And caught in this draft,our main protagonist loses his zeal too.... Inspite of all this, all of them manage to do considerably well in PU as well,due to some last minute desire to do justice to the educational system.
Now,they get into different colleges....Most of them get into engineering...Although our character didn't wanna end up in engineering,he follows the herd and the anticipations,dreams,and other heavy stuff that his parents expect him to fulfill.
This is where it gets interesting,once again he decides that this is a new start and that he'll make the most of it... He attends classes,takes down notes, and works hard....Does well in the first year too...But fate finds him and again..and this time it bites him hard...He falls to a pit this time... He makes every possible effort to stay on course...but his efforts are like the struggles of a man stuck in quicksand....With every move,he sinks deeper and deeper...
And now,there's a stage where he's given up trying...He's stopped struggling...He's not going up or down...Stagnant...oblivious of the fact that the sand has dried up....!! Lying in wait of a miracle...for something drastic to come along and shake up his life...
But will this miracle ever happen?? Nope...We keep asking for miracles each day....But God sent us as miracles into this world...He made us suffer,he made us happy,he made us strong that we may face life,he made us weak that we may remember his name,he has tested us and given us the courage to go through these tests as well...
Are you one of these people? Looking for a miracle? Well, there's only one way you'll get a miracle....BE THE MIRACLE!!!
Change your life...It's yours...You can choose to live it well...to live as you want to...Priorities and necessities are different...Choose well..
