My First Day At College

My First Day At College

Life is full of strange experiences—good and bad, happy and sad. Some of these experiences are just unforgettable. I can never forget my first day at college. It was a day of thrill, joy and excitement. But it turned out to be a real bad day indeed. Wearing new clothes, I entered the college gate. I was feeling proud of being a college student. I came to know that the classes were to be held after the principal’s address to the new students. I also learnt that the address was to be delivered in the Lecture Theatre. But it did not know where the Lecture Theatre was. I asked a senior student the way to the Lecture Theatre. He immediately pointed to a door. No sooner did I enter that room than I heard a guffaw of laughter. It was not the Lecture Theatre but the girls common room. Soon a girl’s voice reached my ears: ‘Come in, please.’ For a while I did not know what to do. I was feeling badly humiliated. I rushed out of that room. Then I requested another gentleman to lead me to the Lecture Theatre. He took me towards the bath rooms. I was be fooled for the second time. It seemed to me that everybody was laughing at me. I could not stay any longer in the college. I soon came back home. I little knew what was in store for me on my very first day at college.
