The best thing that has happened to me in quite some time is my admission for a PG course. That means staying away from home …at a hostel...all by myself!
Many friends of mine told me that hostel life was too good to miss. Instinctively I've known all along they were right and I've always wanted to stay alone too! But folks no…I have a very loving family behind me. Then why, you ask, would I be insane to leave it behind for a while?
Away for a while
Because I've never been away from it. Never been on my own. It's been three months since I moved out and life here is bliss! How , you ask. Because I have a hundred and one things I have to take care of for myself by myself apart from college work. Home sickness? Surprisingly I haven't shed a single tear all these days . Friends? Everyone here is one. I am known to be a chatterbox, so the credit to a dozen new nicknames around here goes to me. I eat healthy! My room is always spic and span (half the credit goes to my sweet roomie) and my laundry bag never comes under stress (back home it was ripping at the seams often!). On the whole my life has taken a change for the better and I feel in control. I am responsible for myself here and there is no feeling to match that sense of satisfaction. I love it.
It rocks
The only downside ? A lot of ants! But we found ways to keep them off. Now that I know what it's like to be away from home, happy as it may be, I want to get back one day…and when it's time to go I will get to appreciate Home sweet Home better than ever. But for now hostel life rocks!
