ABOUT TODAY:

Sometimes bunking classes is a fun and memorable part of student life. Whenever we decide with friends to miss lectures on a particular day and relax a bit, we plan to go to a nearby cafe. One such day, we skipped our boring class and went to a small cafe. The atmosphere of the cafe was very relaxed, soft music and nice smell refreshed our mood completely. I ordered blueberry pancake and chocolate pancake, and every bite of both was unique. The tangy flavor of blueberry and rich sweetness of chocolate was a perfect combination. Along with that, black tea and strawberry milkshake made our outing even more complete. The warm and soothing taste of black tea and the freshness of the milkshake, both recharged my energy.

We used to sit together with friends and discuss college matters, future plans and small interesting stories. Sometimes we would make fun of each other and sometimes talk about serious topics of life. These small outings are very important for a student because they remove our stress and give us a chance to focus back on studies with new energy. Every laugh and every moment of our place was priceless. Even the waiters here joined in our fun and the whole atmosphere of the cafe was seeming very lively. These moments remind me that life should not be limited to just assignments and deadlines, sometimes fun and enjoyment are also important.

After coming back home from the cafe, I definitely feel a slight feeling of guilt in my heart that I missed a lecture, but at the same time I think that sometimes it is necessary to take a small break. After coming home I try to catch up on my lecture or take notes from friends who attend the class that day. Sometimes I try to understand the topic that I missed by taking help of online resources. I feel there should be a balance in student life where you give priority to your academics but don't ignore your mental health and enjoyment.

When I am alone in my room at night, I think about my day from morning till evening. Every day is a new experience, with some new lessons and some new memories. I feel the days in a student's life are amazing when even the smallest things are enjoyed. These small outings and moments with friends are fondly remembered one day, and perhaps all these things are the real fun of our life.

Next morning when the routine starts again, the journey to the university begins with a new energy. After leaving home, I travel with new hopes, making new goals and new plans. While sitting back in the lecture hall and listening to the professors, I definitely realise that bunking and fun have their own place, but academics are equally important. I try to learn from my every mistake and also try to be more focused for my coming day.

Be it a small outing with friends or sitting in the classroom attending a lecture, each and every thing becomes a memory in its own place. I feel that the real fun of student life lies in these things – sometimes fun and relaxation, and sometimes a balance of hard work and academics. Every day ends with a new lesson and gives motivation for new challenges and new goals.
