Out of my shell

                  Being at home and being at a hostel are two different things-  completely. Our habits change, environment change, behavior change and you build up your character in this phase of life. In these four months, I have meet a lot of people, seen a lot of people - so varied and dense. Each had a different view for life, different goals, behaviors, style, talents, interests.
                  Most dominant are the fun types. They have fun , or maybe just don't have a touch with books all through the year except for those nights before the exam. They don't plan stuff before hand. Have a lot of pending work. They try not to work on their own, just want to wait till someone completes the work and then easily copy the work ( which is a little bit irritating ). They don't care about looks , keeping clean, but being work less is all what they do. They just keep sitting or talking on mobiles.
                 Another dominant ones are the nerdy. They do not know the meaning of fun. Their before exam schedule is the same as after exam schedule. They kind of sleep with their books all the time. This has two types- the hard workers and the clever ones. The hard workers stay on their own, keep studying and accept their love for marks. The clever ones, act as if they never had a book in their hand for weeks, get help from people , and after exam , they say they haven't done well , but they would have 97% (that lie makes me angry).
                 Other portion is the jealous types. They keep looking at people-what they do, try to copy them, outrun them. We may think its just so silly for matured people to do such stuff. But, people like that do exist.
                  A small class of people only can balance fun, relationships, education,movies ,etc in the right way and stay happy.
               
                  When looking at few people, we just feel somethings are not right. On the first day here, i found a person very unusual and kind of irritating and figured out she must be the clever ones. And she was. She had survival skills.:(.
                   But, sometimes we just judge the book by its cover.I met people who are dressed so cool, and talkative and active at class, and expected them to be having some attitude with talking to the non-cool, but they turned out to be kind-hearted people, who belonged the last class.

                    Its not how we are dressed, how we look, its just how we take up life that impresses people. So, decide guys what to do in life, what to be and what opinion you would give to others, which is totally in your hands,






Please leave a comment below on the types you have met anytime before .
And who you want to be. What you want to prioritize.

Survival Skills

                A big lesson i learn today was that i lacked in survival skills. You may ask what it means - its just living according to people's needs, and not ours. When the internal mark was announced today and mine was the least(7/10), that broke me down. Why was i not eligible or deserving for more ??
Then something struck my head while comparing the people with 9 or 10 with me. They had involvement in class than me; they had more interaction with teacher than me; they had more butter skills than me; and they had more marks than me.
                 Whatever marks we get in exams don't matter in this place. Survival skill- buttering is too much complicated subject for me because communication itself is difficult . Asking doubts often in class, going in person and discussing stuff with teacher, answering questions in class, not being sleepy or lousy during class hours could always gain you a mark and i learn that today. It could be unfair at times when you had done the same hard work but your friend gets a mark higher than you just because of her good relationship with teacher, but if that is what the society in college or job sector wants, then lets start to learn the skill.
