the good life?

i'm living quite a funny life right now.

and obviously- this is going to be a sorry sorry post. but oh well. what all i do to keep it alive at least.

SO...

Law School.

All of us here are full of ourselves. We got into the best law school in the country and stuff. and then-

you realise you're leaving home.

*first pillar of your air castle crashes*

then you leave. A lot of hugs and weepy moments later, you reach law school.

where, of course, the (expected) ecstasy of arrival doesn't even come CLOSE to the sorrowful departure.

*second pillar of your air castle crashes*

then you start living in the hostel. and start missing home. and missing those clean private toilets you always took for granted.

*Third pillar of the air castle crashes*

then you go to class which are a YAWN. and you're slapped with HOURS of homework from the first day onwards.

*a couple of pillars crash on this one*

and then you realise you have sad, depressing classmates who by choice spend 8 extra hours in the library on an average. and even sadder ones who complain to the wardens about the only bit of entertainment in your life as of yet- the ragging.

*CRASH! BOOM! BANG!!*

everything crashes. EVERYTHING.

and the harsh reality hits you.

You're in Law School.

Slit throat competition.

screwed up geeks all around.

And a small little community where word travels faster than the speed of light and reputations stick with you for your entire life.

a place where you learn to watch your back.

because everyone's waiting to stab it.

But also the place,

where you're going to spend the next 5 years.

where you'll make the best friends you've ever made.

and a little bright ray of anticipation can be seen.

and thats the one you start counting on.

because thats the only way you deal with

a) teachers who are so in their zone- they mumble.

b) teachers who are so good they fail you for being mediocre.

c) teachers who pass you because you wear low necklines.

d) friends' roommates who ask them to not trust anyone.

e) a boyfriend who doesn't even sit next to you in class (that's just a mindless taunt :P)

f) all the bullshit in the whole wide universe

i'm still the happy person i was.

don't worry just yet.:)

if i start displaying suicidal tendencies- i promise you guys will be the first to know.
