Whats up?

It has been a bit more than a week since I got back to college. Lots of changes. For one, it is a bit of mixed emotion when you think upon the fact that you are a third year. The upper half of college, you have 2 batches below you, all that is fine. But it also happens to be potentially the most difficult year academically, not just because we might have more classes or anything, but just because people tend to take things a lot more seriously and by that they really step up and I might have to actually put in some effort to get through the semester. On other fronts there is a lot of anxiety. Club recruits, Basketball team, a new La Liga season, amongst many other things. There are some changes in college. Placements are going haywire. Bad combo of recession + Shastri in charge. Scares me what will happen this time next year, but then again that's a whole year away. Elections are approaching and the politics and all other nonsense that goes along with it have already begun. It is shocking what people can do to obtain fame, power and some underhand money. Basketball practice has started way before it has in previous years. Of course we miss Singh, but i think the team will go far this year as well, we're a closer unit than ever before. Coming down from home food to mess food is a hard task semester after semester. Usually what helps that process are the other eating options in and around college. That's been a disaster this year. NFC has some weird self service system, 3rd block canteen hasn't started yet, Kalash has gone under project renovation, and Amul samosas have lost their charm owing to them being duped of 18 grand last year from account debts. But such stabs are always expected, and that is what makes this place as lovely as it is. It feels great to be 'home'. Second year was full of events, some insignificant, some life changing. Third year only promises more, and hopefully ends up just as good.
