Walking down the memory lane, thinking about your college experience until now sends a nostalgic feeling down your spine.You start to reminiscing your college life-canteen, mess, friends, lectures, bonding etc,binging the entire atmosphere is unforgettable isn't it?
Present college days are very dynamic in nature and so are the life of the students who get to experience many life changing moments especially the ones who are staying away from their home.Students come to the realization that life is not as easy as it seems as they tend to go through a vivid experience which forces them to self realize many decisions that they made both on the career and life segments.These kind of pressure tends to dawn on them all of a sudden which in turn either breaks them or makes them into a man/woman that they want to be.

They get to learn many lessons in practical life for eg. getting cheated by the friends that they thought would have their back, getting disappointed by their love interest who constantly gave him/her hope and at the end settles down with another person, getting duped by a person who they thought was the nicest guy in the whole of college.By the end of final year a student is depressed to the core.How do i know this??.It's because i have experienced these things myself.So did lakhs of other students in India.One starts to lose interest in everything when they are going through this terrible phase.They tend to have sleepless night, they tend to not trust anyone anymore, they stop socializing, they constantly live in fear of losing someone who probably doesn't even care/thinks about them i.e one sided love.

But the question is can one 'RISE UP' from the ashes?Can one bounce back harder and break the cocoon of depression?The answer is yes!!....you can, if you are wiling to bash on regardless of what happens and stop thinking about what other people may think about you.You have to realize that 'pain is the only thing that is keeping you alive'.It is upto you whether you choose to pass the test or choose to fail and go back into the good for nothing state of depression.

If you are willing to get out of this phase memorize the following lines that i have created and compiled.I hope this motivates all of you and helps to unleash the beast inside you because it helped me do it.
'My commitment and obsession is always to be better today than i was yesterday, if i have to make sacrifices to do that so be it.If i have to tell a person i cant go drinking/hanging out with him/her anymore so be it because that's not what i value,anything or anyone that is taking me further away from my dreams has to go.I am committed to self development not self destruction and you know?any person that has meant to be with me on that journey would choose that higher road with me.Yes!! a tougher road but is a much more rewarding one.I want my life to mean something to be able to look back at my life and say yeah!! I made some tough decisions but it were the right one.So many people don't get it,they piss their life away every weekend and for what?,so that they can complain about their current circumstances for the rest of the week??.....SCREW THAT!! no chance, I am incharge of my own life.It's all on me, i take responsibility , I take action and i get shit done.You will never hear me complaining about another person or circumstance.The reason being i am not where i want to be.If i don't like where i am, time to knuckle down and work harder, I have a perfect reflection of the hard work for lack of work i put in and LUCK??!! That only comes to them who have paid their dues.

If i am weak in a certain area, it wont be for long because i am committed to be better, i will learn, i will read, i will make it happen, i will find a way.You might knock me down, but i will never stay down, i am relentless.It's time to rise up, rise up to your potential, rise up past your limitations, rise up past your families and friends limitations.It's time to stop selling yourself short.Set the standard for those around you, who don't conform to the standards like the sheet,get out and lead the way, get up, rise up, man the fuck up!!
ADAPT, ENGAGE, SURVIVE!!!!!
