Winter's here

With the conclusion of finals, the curtain falls on another semester, leaving behind a trail of memories, lessons, and the sweet taste of accomplishment. Reflecting on these past few months, I find myself standing at the crossroads of growth and nostalgia, grateful for the experiences that shaped this chapter of my academic journey.

This semester, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery, addressing past mistakes and embracing the opportunity for personal and academic growth. The canvas of my college life was painted with the vibrant hues of friendship, camaraderie, and the shared chaos of last-minute assignments and the quest for elusive worksheet validations. The symphony of laughter echoing through corridors during proxy escapades and the collective sigh of relief after meeting the elusive 75 percent attendance mark created a soundtrack to our shared experiences.Those sleepless nights just before exams, and reminding each other the important last-minute topics to cram, returning hostel with happiness, sometimes with frustration of paper-Ahh those were the days we passed-good or bad it passed.

As the semester draws to a close, the hostel corridors echo with the sound of rolling suitcases, signaling the departure of friends, one by one, for the warmth of home. Amidst the quietude of an empty room, I am reminded of the tranquility that accompanies the end of a bustling semester.

While my roommates have embarked on their journeys homeward, I remain, immersed in the spacious solitude of a once bustling abode. The winter chill outside contrasts with the warmth of shared memories, making the room seem vast and echoing with the tranquil stillness I am not accustomed to.Suddenly the small room we always complaint about, felt huge to me.All the list of activity we planed during exam times to do when we are free after exams-felt useless.

As the calendar turns to December, a season of reflection and celebration, I yearn to witness snowfall this year.Memories of past Christmases spent in the hostel, creating our own festive traditions, linger in my thoughts. The anticipation of a well-deserved break brings a sense of calm, with visions of quality time with family, Netflix marathons, and the prospect of snowflakes descending from the winter sky.

In the midst of this pause, I look forward to crafting the next chapter of my academic adventure, hoping it unfolds with surprises and abundant opportunities to learn. May this break be a sanctuary for rejuvenation, and as I pen down my thoughts, I eagerly anticipate the coziness of home, where the next blog post will unfold beneath the familiar warmth of family and festivities.

Wishing everyone a joyous season filled with cherished moments and the embrace of loved ones.
