The Awesome-st phase of my life yet

The third phase of my life... One of the top colleges in India... Very apprehensive but with a lot of dreams... my first ever hostel experience.... awesome campus... my own room.. finally.. that too with a balcony... my first management class.... Financial accounting... swiping card for attendance... induction week.... soft ragging.... First ever group study... lasting for a week.... intense competition..... quizzes and exams
every other week.... relative grading.... late night studies.... late evening tutorials.... quizzes on sundays... few awesome profs... lots terrible ones... mess food.... ultra short vacations.... a huge circus called placements..... resume submission..... feeling abysmal for not being from the IITs or the NITs.... envying those who were....first ever L^2 party.... getting bored within the second one .....se
ction parties... summer placements.... resume submissions....bragging about things you never did..... stressful days... consulting internship ..... first ever internship ... first ever consulting experience.... talking to people at a h
igh level... lots and lots of presentations... quick 30 minute presentations... so-called networking.. realized I was never that sorts..... Second year.... electives.... course bidding..... Finance and strategy courses... Globe globe everywhere...
.... falling in love.... making a great friend.... gymming ... giving up within a week because of exams every fortnight.... class participation .... never opening my mouth... stupid courses.... fraud courses.... Tam gang... struggling with tamil... but enjoying nonetheless.... lonely walks in the middle of the night.... clubs... club selections.... CCS projects... exchange... europe trip... awesome-st trip ever.... final placements..... big pain in the a***..... DC.... free movies and series downloads.... watching
a complete series in a day..... room
with the ground view.... rumours.... night canteen...... running the rat race..... going to bed worrying about the competition every other night..... getting philosophical..... lots and lots of introspection.... getting ready to face the world the way it will be........ Finally the convocation


And thus ended my 2 years of MBA in the Indian Institute of
Management Bangalore with all the ups and downs possible in the shortest period of time. So much in so little time. Here you just don't learn the management stuff but you also learn lessons about life. The independence I enjoyed for 2 years in this place is something I will never ever get in my life. However tough it was you will be missed IIMB.
