So, sitting in a boring lecture, next to a guy I met a month and a half back in my new college, he asked me if I would give CLAT again.
Well, for this topic, a little background information, cracking CLAT was my dream. NLU Jodhpur and NALSAR were my dream colleges. NLUJ a little more than NALSAR for funny reasons but yes, going to these two colleges to study law was all that I could think of. The first time I gave CLAT, I wasn't prepared very well so I dropped a year for it and give it again in 2012. And sadly this time too, it didn't take me where I wanted to go.
So, coming back today, this friend asked me if I'd give CLAT again. It was as if someone had stabbed me right in my heart and twisted my stomach. But within that minute, he asked me if I was happy with my current college. And all of a sudden the horrible feeling of failure went away and a smile came across my face and I said, Ï don't mind it here.
Its not like that I have the most amazing college. We have teachers who pronounce the words funnily or the fact that (as I put it) we're the adopted children of IP University at Amity who have rented premises and have to share a kick ass campus with about 20 different courses. But yes, I don't mind it here.
For actually liking this college, I could give multiple reasons. As funnily a teacher would pronounce a word, some of them are pretty amazing. The seniors are pretty awesome and help us with almost EVERYTHING. They aren't the snobby or means types. And the third and the most important reason being I've seen worse, much worse.
Right now Im doing something I absolutely love. I'm doing the course I wanted to do, I love the subjects and this college makes it to the top 10 law schools in the country. But the previous year, I was in a stupid college where no body liked to work or even cared about anything. College was one place where I didn't wanna go and the whole place basically sucked. The canteen had crappy food. The majority crowd was well.. weird.
So, ýes, having a year of super bad experience in a DU college last year made me appreciate the good points of this college. I mean yes from what I hear the NLUs are amazing and not being able to make it to NLUJ or NALSAR is something I'll always beat myself about but right now, one year of bad experience makes appreciate the little things about where I am today.
Never underestimate the little things. They are pretty much as important as the big ones. Sometime probably a little more than the big ones too. Its the little things that make or break a deal most of the times and if you choose to hate or ignore those things, you can never be happy. Atleast I know that I won't be. :)
