University Rox0rs
It was 3am in the morning today when my phone rang. Two of my best friends from uni called me to see if i was awake. They had just returned from the going down for the arts faculty which i missed because i was ill.
And as we spoke we slowly realized (drunk as they were) that we had actually completed 2 years of our tertiary education and were now officially third years.
Third Years – argh i feel so old. It seems like only yesterday i walked in to campus knees shaking, barely looking up and not meeting the eye of anyone except the person sitting next to me. Now i stand and watch as people just like me walk in to campus and wonder what’s going to happen to them.
It seems like only yesterday we sat in the gym sipping some weird concoction and praying for safety. Now we swagger through university as though we owned it from day one and stare down any first year who looks like he/she is slightly posher than the rest (all of them like to think so).
How life changes over time. Looking back now i can only feel thankful for the amazing opportunity of attending a Sri Lankan university. Its been altogether eyeopening and one of the better experiences I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying.
So with much nostalgia and hopes for the remaining years in university.
Viva la SL universities.
