Essay:
My First Day at College
I passed S. S. C part II examination in ‘A’ Grade and
thought of getting admission in college. I applied for admission in Govt.
Degree College. After a few days list of successful candidates was pasted on
notice board of college and I was among those candidates who were selected. I
was allotted Roll number and I was proud of being student of college. The
classes were to start from the list of next month.
On the first day I put on my college uniform and went
out for college. I reached the college well before the time. I found myself
among smart and active boys. They were the senior students who had arrived
early to make first years fools of us. They greeted the new comers with funny
remarks. Most of us got nervous and this encouraged them further to laugh at us
they teased and ridiculed us.
At 8.30 AM the college peon rang the bell. All the
students entered the class room. It was my first day in college it was quite
new experience for me. Naturally I was exited and waited for the lecturer. The
lecturer of English came in and began to call over the roll number. It was
quite amusing to hear the boys responding to their roll numbers in different
ways. After roll call the lecturer spoke it was about the rules, regulations
and environments of the college. He advised us to maintain the discipline in
college. After it he told us about the course scheme of English. After the
period of English there was period of chemistry, the lecturer of chemistry also
spoke about the discipline and other things like attendance etc. In this way
every teacher lectured us on that day about the importance of college education
the way we could profit from it.
My impressions of the first day at college are still
fresh in my memory. I was happy, nervous and excited all at the same time. The
word college had been a great attraction to me ever since.
Many times before, I had come to this place with my
brother, cousins and friends. Now I my self was the student of this college. It
was a different place for me as before I conceived it to be. Before I saw it
out wardly but now I was seeing it very closely, its classes, laboratories, its
play ground, its parks and its canteen now belonged to me. I was feeling
special attachment for it. It was so because I was its member.
I can not fully express my ideas and my feelings that
rose in me. As I entered the gate of ground wonderful and attractive building
of the college experienced a strange kind of joy. Some where in my mind there
was the hope that college should inspire me to things of higher worth the
college would give me knowledge and wisdom and make me good citizen.
