College begins

# Admission process over and college journey begins
# Achieved CSE at NITK

   It's been almost five days in the college hostel now. I have made myself quite comfortable here. Living here has made me realize my responsibilities and developed a sense of maturity in me.
    So, in these five days, I have explored much of the campus and I must say that it's a beautiful place. The college curriculum is yet to start. Here, there is an induction program organised for the first year Btech students. It basically aims at improving your public speaking skills, making connections with others, art of living and at many other basics of life. It's a fun attending all these induction sessions.
     Here at NITK, there is a diverse crowd not only from different parts of the country but also from different parts of the world. Here, I have noticed a helping culture amongst the students. I must say that seniors are very helpful from the first day itself and friendly too.
     For the next four years, I'm going to be a part of this great college. As every other student, I look towards excelling in academics and also take part in the co-curricular activities available here. In these four years, I aim at maintaining my enthusiasm and enjoying the course .

College Admissions

#12th standard is over and heading towards Graduation

   So...finally after three years , I have started writing my blogs again. Last few years were quite demanding from me .Nevertheless , there was always an enjoyment factor in what I did. Let me make it clear, I was preparing for IIT JEE entrance exam during these years.I joined MPA(in Pune) in 8th standard were I was introduced to higher level mathematics and science. I started enjoying learning new concepts and applying them. Till 10th standard there was no time constraint on your thinking and I loved doing higher level mathematics. In 11th and 12th , I was introduce to the concept of TIME and ACCURACY (both going hand in hand). Of course , that is not a problem if you enjoy it.

    Currently, I am in the JOSAA admission process and quite confused that what am I going to do in the future . Unlike other students, I have not given weightage to any particular college or branch. No doubt everyone wants see himself/herself at a respectable position in the future. I also had an option of pursuing a career in pure science but preferred engineering over it. At this stage , I am quite unaware of the kind of work both the options include(technically).

    Some of my friends are pursuing their careers in Hotel Management, Mass Media and BBA. I guess, they have a vision of their future life which I seem to lac a bit . At the moment, I only understand that IIT is the goal and since I don't have any preference to any branch ,I believe that I can find enjoyment in whichever branch I go. And if not , I hope I would by then.

     These days I go with my mom frequently for shopping and buying household goods. All this makes me realise that living alone is not going to be easy. I always get advice from my mom regarding disciplined living. We have made a list of items that I am going to need in the hostel and buying them accordingly. So whichever college from my "JOSAA preference list" I get , I am ready.
I hope I maintain my enthusiasm irrespective of odds I face during the next 4 years .
