How I missed my parents absence and their importance????

 

So 2015 was the year When the first day when my parents left me in the hostel and went home, I didn’t cry. But, I was longing for the 3 days long weekend which was about to come in 2 days. I never cried in hostel for staying alone without parents .

Those days when mobile phones were prohibited inside the hostel premises, we would always have a watch on the door to see if warden comes. We would hide our phones like an involuntary action if someone else enters into the room. It’s actually a dorm with 40 people.

I have never been with so much of people ever before. When I heard that I am going to stay with 40 people, I was scared like hell. I didn’t talk with them for few days. Then, I slowly started talking with almost everyone. They are the most important reason that I learnt to initiate a conversation with strangers.

At home, I used to wake up only after 8′O clock. But, in hostel I had to wake up before 5′O clock, only to bath. You have a long queue in restrooms. I was always a night person but the hostel made everyone a night person.Never think of sleeping on Friday and Saturdays. Those days are to enjoy. Sleep till 11 or 12 in the morning on Saturdays and Sundays and skip your breakfast and eat lunch directly.

Every day you would keep talking, chatting or playing or use mobile phone till late nights and forget the main purpose of coming to school . But, at exam time, you would burn the midnight oil and study like you are a pro. That needs some talent. You would never sleep during exam days. Even if you want to sleep, your friends won’t let you.

Home made food? Not for you. When you bring mom’s food, you would get only empty tiffin box at the end. Sometimes, you may not get that too.

You always have a companion to watch serials and movies and other crap shows. You can watch with them at anytime.

No one would question you. You can do anything you want. Except if you have some good friends.

You would have an all time advisor. You would be surrounded by almost every type of people: calm and introverted people like me, a nerd, an athlete, a sober, a jolly person, an extreme extrovert, one who pokes his nose into other’s business all the time, a perfectionist, a musician, an artist, a writer, etc.,

Though you stay so close to the School campus, you are the last one to enter the class. Even if the class starts by 3 pm, you would be the last one to enter.

When you don’t have friends, you would struggle like me. I had no good friends. Not even friends. I had no one to wake me up when I’m getting late. I had no one to help me when I needed one. I had no one to watch tv series with me. I had no advisor. I had no companion to bunk the class. I had no one to bring food for me. I had no one to talk with. I had no one to do anything with. No one to fight, talk, play, study. No one. Because of that I hate staying in hostel.

But, those things made me strong. I’m independent now. I don’t depend on anyone for help. I do all by myself. I could talk with anyone 

So, hostel life depends completely upon how you live and how you control things.

But, one advice is make sure everything is under your control. Before it goes out of control be ready for everything you are about to face.

You would realise your parent’s love only after staying in hostel.
