Finally Final-Year!!

As an engineering student enters college in his first year, he/she is very excited to enter into a new phase of life with loads of new people to meet and lots to learn. Little do they know its not all its not all the shakes that they dream t about in the boring days of post school days holidays(But you usually end up making most out of it and before you know it you are satisfied) . Gradually the days go by and by no time you realize you are in second year and you got yourself in deep thought again...What am I going to do after engineering?? When am I going to get out of here...In the processes you start day dreaming about better days after college (If you are days are not as good as you expected them to be). You seek advise from your seniors, explore different options like higher studies(in management or science) or taking advantage of the colleges placement opportunity,  and you feel dumb struck by the different options that life gives you at that point and continue with your mundane life at college. Some daring seek a life of partying and being a rock star or traveling the world in the name of being a travel writer after the struggle of this so called technical education "Engineering"(To these people as Aerosmith could not have put it better 'Dream On').

After two more years of utter monotonicity and a very high degree of theoritical bullshit...a whole bunch of yadayadayada...blah blah blah...when are my semester exams and what do i need to study to pass...suddenly you feel like you are struck with a jack hammer by your very old and trustworthy friend who also happens to be your alter ego "MY FUTURE"...Final year is finally here!!!! WHAT NEXT???...At this point there are two kinds of people...The ones who got it all figured out and are know exactly where they are going to and what they will end up, after college is over. These people are right on top of the ladder, which is built on the bases of Darwinin theory of Competition. Who can blame them, these so called overachievers, they are going to enjoy the fruits of hard work...and you have the lost souls(some to a greater extent than others, but end of the day all fall under this catigory) who are going to try all possibilities to get somewhere and dream of a better future...

Now these are the kinda people who i could relate with more easily and is going to be the main focus of the rest of this jibberish that you are going to read if you are not bored allready. Some of us academically challenged by choice, felt that life is like a stream where you lied on your back and let this stream choose the path for you...little did we know about the other half who were swimming against the current to reach their desired destination...some of us decided to get off our backs and decided to follow the band wagon(realizing after all these years, it might have been a good idea after all). So now we start studying for the GRE, CAT and GMAT and other detrimental abbreviated examinations that are offered. Panic for placements is at a high with all those lucrative companies that come and go, taking the chosen few...Parental pressure is at a peak like never before...and you are sitting here and thinking..Damn It i should have worked harder the last three years...

But all is not lost...I was told that its these tough times(some more tougher than others) and how you come out of it is what defines you...So lets all take a chill pill or tap our frightened hearts saying "all is well"(yes stolen from the movie Three Idiots before someone slaps a plagiarism charge on me) or light up a doubie to send our worries to the smoke or what ever that makes us feel better...

PEACE OUT!!!!
