Colleges re opened ,classes started filling too . Same college ,same lecturers and same friends but the excitement was different . The never before felt feeling of getting back to the track was delight. Nobody ever imagined that there will be such a long break in our routine ,did we? . Though it came out of nowhere ,we started to enjoy at first. We spent time with family , we were connected with friends through video calls and some of us celebrated birthdays , anniversaries with friends inside google meets and zoom calls .life was in a different pace. There came days that felt dark , we felt lost ,confusions conquered our mind ,fear of not getting back to normal made us anxious .
Putting those things back we are now here looking into new normal with masks covering faces but not the smiles behind it .There cannot be complete bad with anything in this world ,somebody said. Its true ,isn’t it ?. Who knew some of us liked to stay at home and attended online sessions , who knew we would miss the boring lectures and classrooms .We were used to that lazy online classes where most of the times we attended while sleeping . Everything seemed to be falling into place and we walked out of our houses towards college .Some of us were really excited to be back while some of them seemed unhappy .
Though the idea of online classes were necessary ,and it seemed appealing ,it was not . We grew lazy , without reaching out to people and connecting with different personalities , we faced anxiety , depressions and many other disturbances mentally . We felt stuck in places where we were not meant to be .People with previous mental issuses faced lot more problems , which most of them were teenagers and younger adults . The WHO underlines that “mental health and well-being are fundamental to quality of life, enabling people to experience life as meaningful, become creative and active citizens.”This is possible only when one walks out of comfort zone and see the outer world outside the four walls . They say today’s youth is tomorrow’s future . What could happen in future if we youths didn’t participate in social life and debates ?.
Believe it or not so many aspects of life was discovered on the way to schools and colleges , so many memories were made at the last benches of classroom. Probably college was the first place where “friends “ became family , endless talkings became life lessons. Who wants to miss this ? yeah there is fear of getting infected but with proper precautions the college life is important .Its infact necessary .
