The Unknown faces:

Every one of us will remember the first day of our college life… One of the unforgettable days of our life…. The night before our first day of college, we would just stay awake thinking about the next few years of our college life…That night was filled with excitement, next morning, when we stepped into the college campus and saw the new and unknown faces, our excitement would slowly turn into FEAR….The thought of how are we going to survive here will make us nervous and at that second we would have wished to return to our school life…

The friendship that u make in college is always special because it's based on the true meaning of love and care…..when you are going through a tough time in your life, you can express your emotions and feelings to them, and trust me you will never be judged for doing so…isn't it a blessing to have people like this around you?

“Walking with a friend in dark is better than walking alone in the light”- Helen Keller

If you don't have money for lunch don't worry your friend will buy it for you if you don't have a classwork a paper from your friend's classwork will come for help, when you don't have a dress to wear to the events in college your friend becomes your costume designer if you have problems with family or other things don't worry your friend provides a shoulder for you to cry and his attempts to motivate you will end up in both of you smiling at each other and your friend would have succeeded in healing you….And thus strangers become comrades and there are the secret ingredients in our success

During the last semester, the world will again seem to be scary and this time we wish we had a little more of our college life…Those canteen times, those functions and celebrations in college, those IV trips, our favorite lecturer, our favorite office staff, our last bench talks, coming late to class, and bunking the class when we felt bored will now be a beautiful memory in our heart….
