People say going to college is one of the greatest experiences in their lives. College is an experience we only get to go through once in our lifetime. Going to college means many things then just studying, it means maturity, responsibilities, the future, and knowledge. College is an experience that changes people.
'College life' is that phase in one's life when one learns the most important lessons of his/her life. It is for the first time in college when an individual is left to himself to make his own decisions. The importance of maintaining good and healthy relations with seniors, batch mates, friends and the faculty is known and which is very important phase of life called 'College life'. College life is an experience that we only get to go through once in our lives. College life is a process of change and it is the evolution from immature to mature. The life we experience in college is an experience everyone must go through. It is an event where people get to prove whom they really are; it is the time in our life where we get to create and shape ourselves into someone we want to be.
In college, as a student we are exposed to an ocean of challenges. Each individual learns to accept these challenges, work on them, develop strategies and plans, and motivate themselves to achieve success. This teaches very important lessons of life. A student learns to become a self motivator, independent, strong and the will to take up responsibilities.
Personally, I learnt a lot of lessons in my college life which I believe made me a better person. For example, I was given a project to complete within a stated deadline. I had to plan out my time, so I could complete my project on time for submission. Through this, I learnt an important skill of time management. I also learnt to believe that any well planned goal is easy to achieve. In addition to that, college life also gives us a chance to meet new people. It makes us develop a good communication skill. It introduces us to people having various backgrounds, including cultural and academic backgrounds. It helps us in opening our minds to various thoughts, views andopinions.
Moreover, college life also gave me a lot of freedom. I have been in a position where I had a variety of choices and important decisions I had to make. Choices included following the crowd blindly or standing up for myself as an individual and have a confidence to against the crowd. As I was confident with the decision I made and I had my basics of the to-do's and not-do's right! In Conclusion, I would like to say that it's the lessons which we learn while in college, that helps a lot to perform well in today's work environment. We can relate all the situations faced during college to our day-to-day professional life situations and use the lessons learnt in college to excel in our professional lives.
