Modern Fresher

Every new Experience brings out our naivety but a good learning opportunity.

Therefore it sounds a good idea to try out new things and be adventurous but all this should be calculated and repercussions should firmly be held in our minds, otherwise…

I remember how grateful I was, to one Susan, for helping me carry my luggage from admission offices to my hostel room in my first day in campus. She told me how good campus life can be, but still how nasty it is for reckless fellows…I heeded and reaped. I made a commitment to myself that I will orient first years when they come, share with them what they expect in their new life being the base of what they want to do their entire life. I did that, hope someone benefited.

But I was perplexed to share with a friend about her first semester in campus and she confessed how they were ‘life changing’:

v  Fresher’s Night

Guys got drank and everything she saw, sorry to mention, can only be seen in a hardcore movie

v  My Best Friend

Her best friend brought her a juice, she drowsed, and when she woke up she was in hands of a man, having been ‘treated’

v  Modern Perspective

A 21yrs old Lady’s logic of not being faithful to one partner, abstaining or using a condom is that even if she gets HIV, she can live with it for more than 25yrs and by the time she is 45,She will have been bored by life and ready to die.

v  Pressure to conform

Her dressing code changed to that which is acceptable to the campus and has swag.

v  Curiosity

Having never tasted alcohol she did that for the first time

…Truly ‘adventurous’

This got me thinking deeply, n you what, I’m yet to come to terms with this.
