THE ALL NEW LIFE

THE ALL NEW LIFE

Every moment that changes your life, changes who you are.

From waking up at 5 in the morning to study to- expeditiously waking up just fifteen minutes before the class, from finishing up syllabus two days before the exam and revising it thoroughly to finishing it just one night before the sessionals, from a brief chit chat in the break to sitting for hours at the college canteen , from asking doubts from the teacher to doubting the teacher herself, from sleeping early to sleeping at four in the morning just to finish the last episode of the season of your favourite series….
Yes, that is how life changes on entering college without us even noticing! We enter into a world of like minded adults, supporting, encouraging and guiding seniors, finding someone who can captivate the flying butterflies in the stomach and running horses in the mind and someone you can easily talk to….
Some of the new things all of us experience when we enter college- ‘the best days of life when money is meaningless, independence is everything and friends are obviously the best homo-sapiens alive.’ Life indeed takes a toll when we enter college.
A very warm welcome to UIET which is a part of the most happening place of Chandigarh, having a full fledged world of its own, the Panjab University. Life at PU is an amazing journey with a sky rocket of opportunities. The evergreen environment, crowed by students of all departments and the 24X7 hustle and bustle brings an energetic wave in the university creating a lively atmosphere. Various events, elections, workshops, friends all help change your perspective towards and life and inculcate various qualities in you.
It is the time when you step out of your home and move in an absolutely new world called hostel. If you have watched 3 IDIOTS you might have a fair idea about what hostel life is all about. The hostel life at PU is altogether an exciting experience. You will be all on your own, your own boss throughout the day. It is like a massive sleepover every night where one gets to know about the hidden talents of their mates be it singing, dancing, bullying or proposing a girl. The midnight strolls across the grounds of university which is a small town in itself has an excitement of its own. This University never sleeps, the momentum is always set high and sometimes the track is set for a thrilling road trip.
From the late night studies at the all famous A.C Joshi library to the standard Paneer Thaali of STUC, PU has a diverse variety to look into. Dancers, singers, actors, musicians and the studious bookworms all find a separate space for themselves. The fests provide a time filled with anticipation, extreme happiness, some anxiety and wonderful discoveries. It is a time off from late nights and early mornings.
College years not only help you to evolve as an individual but also prepares you to work in the external environment like professionals; ultimately carving out a distinguishable identity for yourself which is essential in this growing world because its not the knowledge that helps you survive, it’s the person that you have developed to be through various junctures of life, leaving indelible imprints on the hearts of those who you have met in this short yet meaningful trail called ‘LIFE’ !
