There are few phases in life that feel as magical, as chaotic, and as heartbreakingly beautiful as our college days. It’s that bittersweet time when we are just old enough to dream big, but young enough to believe the whole world is within reach.
Mornings started with the endless panic of reaching class on time — or at least trying to — and evenings ended with chai at the campus tapri, where hours would just melt into laughter, teasing, and deep conversations about life, love, and everything in between. Notes were rarely taken seriously, but friendships were. The college canteen was not just about samosas and cutting chai; it was the heart of our little world, a place where the most random plans were hatched and where endless jokes flew across tables.

And then came the trips — those legendary "college trips" that we planned for months (and fought over for weeks). Whether it was the sun-kissed beaches of Goa, the misty hills of Manali, the royal palaces of Jaipur, or the hidden gems around our own city, every trip was a mini-adventure written into the book of our youth.
Today, when we sit back and scroll through those blurry, half-posed pictures, a smile creeps onto our faces without permission. We remember the freedom, the madness, the mistakes, and the magic. The version of us that laughed without reason, cried without shame, and loved without fear.
College wasn’t just about lectures and exams. It was about discovering who we were — and who we wanted to be — while holding hands with a bunch of crazy, wonderful people who somehow made the chaos worthwhile.
Maybe that's what growing up is: carrying pieces of those wild, beautiful days tucked safely in our hearts. No matter where life takes us, even losing touch with many of our friends along the way, some part of us will always be in that crowded canteen, on that road trip with friends, laughing so hard that we couldn't breathe, chasing dreams under an open, endless sky.
Because in the end, college wasn't just a phase; it was a feeling. And it’s a feeling we’ll treasure forever.
