My First Day in College
I
was admitted to the government college of my city after I passed the
matriculation examination. I had some very strange experiences on the first day
I attended it. It was a summer when I went to attend college for the first
time. The sky was cloudy and the weather was fine. I went to college on my
bicycle (=I bicycled to college =I rode the bicycle to college) in a very happy
mood. As I entered the college, some boys asked me to go with them to the
notice board. I started with them, but they began walking faster. I also had to
walk fast. They asked me to run with them. Now I was running with them. Soon I
was tired and wanted to stop. All at once, one of the boys pushed me from
behind and asked me to keep running. The boys took me to the notice board
afterward and went away shouting, " the First-year Fool.”
I
read the timetable of the college and found that the first period was of
English. I went to the classroom for the English class. I was standing outside
the classroom. Two other first-year boys were also standing there. They asked
me about my school and subjects. As we were talking, I saw three second-year
boys coming towards us. Those boys asked us to to go into the classroom. We did
so. Then one of the second-year boys stopped us near blackboard and asked us to
open our books. He started teaching to our great surprise and shock. The
second-year boy was trying to teach in a humorous (funny) way. Soon our teacher
of English came in. He laughed and sent the second-year boys away.
After
three periods, we had a break or recess. By good luck, two first-yes students
were with me, and we three were new friends. We had a meeting on the beautiful,
fresh, grassy college ground. We decided to be with each other until the end of
the classes to avoid trouble with senior students. Only once, we had a problem
as we were going towards the cafeteria. A group of five second-year boys asked
us to introduce ourselves. As we were telling our names, they started asking
for our national identity cards. We explained that yet we could not get our
identity cards.
The
first day introduced the atmosphere, activities and people of the college me.
Though it was not all pleasure to be in college on the first day, I began
liking college life.
