Missing College....... End of imp era....

The aftermath of the 8th sem exams and the holiday is a long long period of boredom,loneliness and an endless wait to make the transition to the next "phase" in life.It is one holiday I wish we never had,because there is no looking forward to anything,except the future which is hazy and I'm sure it does not hold as much fun as what the immediate past held...No more getting up late and rushing thru the morning routine,sometimes skipping breakfast and whizzing through the roads to make it to college at least by the end of the first hour.No more rule-breaking,kalaaichi-fying teachers,bunking,college day,symposium,class tests,bits,eating during class,canteen sappadu,parking lot conversations,coffee shop, last minute assignments,OB lab sessions,queuing up outside the principal's office,class trips,fights....too many to list! And,friends.
Every time someone wore a new dress(pudhu chokka :) ),there used be ooooohs and aaaahs all around class, and then, someone flashing a new mobile or a new cute baby ring tone...Dunno what reactions you would get at your future workplace(or grad school)if you did that;probably weird stares and a big disapproving glare from your boss.Anyhow,you can't keep the "i-dont-care-what-you-think" attitude anymore.
It's kinda weird to think that there are gonna be times when you can call your friend only when he is free,and meeting up becomes a once a while thing,a big event by itself.
Yeah,I know what people would say.Things gotta move on.Life is like that.Wake up to reality .It is this way for everybody...OK OK!! Fine. Accepted.Gimme some time..Let me just brood..Let me just dream about the past..Let me soak in those pure,unadulterated memories of college before I get dirtied by the murky life ahead,the responsibilities and the vagaries..
