MILES AWAY IS MY NEW HOME

Even after hours of determined persuasion, a mammoth of pleadings and a number of summonses in front of parents in order to explain them how eagerly you want to go to a college outside your city and want to live in a hostel which is equally important  in terms of an individual’s mental growth and development and it is also important to experience the independence provided to you by using it towards your growth, there comes a time in the lives of most of the first year students who after staying for a month or two in the hostel might get surrounded by a totally different set of feelings.
 They might feel home-sick and overburdened by the sudden pressure of a number of jobs such as washing clothes, cleaning the utensils, the room etc. along with the studies. Incompletion of which might lead to a feeling of lack of ability in them to move forward with their lives.
 Going away from parents for the first time to a hostel at the age of 16 or 17 is a period of transitions in many ways. One of the most important solutions to deal with it is to interact and make new friends which makes you as well as the other person feel comfortable and helps in cutting the first turf. This would help you to moderate yourself effectively. Another solution is to schedule everything by keeping in mind about your priorities and on the same time by giving sufficient time to breaks and extra-curricular activities in order to keep your mind fresh and clear.
Hostel life indeed can turn out to be one of the most useful parts of our lives only if the independent atmosphere provided to the students leads them to developing abilities like good decision making and priority setting which would lead to a lifelong holistic development of those individuals.
