20 Things common to all engineering colleges

Thanks to a forward from Arun. I felt so nostalgic about the four glorious years I spent in undergraduate. Read and relive those days

1)The lecturers dont teach.The students dont study.The only guy whobenefits is the one who owns the 'dhaba' next to the college.

2)Rules are made to be broken.

3)Promises are made to be broken.

4)Deadlines are made to be extended...ALWAYS!5).Guys always think the chics in the college next lane are more beautiful.

5)The geeks are the most pampered lot during the internal exams.

6)The lab assistants are the most respected people(during the lab exams i.e)

7)The watchmen are the people most bribed.

8)The HOD is the person most respected(heights of sycophancy here).

9)The principal is the person most abused and insulted(behind the back)

10)Dropping subjects is 'cool'.(arre yaar..drop the idea of dropping subjects plzz).

11)There is always a lecturer in the college who cant speak proper 'english'.

12)Night-out is the second most important tool to ace the exams.

13)The most important tool..the bhramastra..is the 'chit' in which the words can be understood only by the person who wrote them(in mostof the cases i.e)

14)The freshers are the most sought after..be it in the canteen,the'free' periods or for completing the records,assignments.

15)The second-years are the ones with the 'I am thedon-of-the-college' feeling.

16)The third years are the ones with the 'so-many-backlogs' feelingand the poorsouls get down to studying after bossing around in the college for so long. But the fun still continues.(I gave 22 exams last year!!).

17).The fourth years have no connection with the collegewhatsoever...with no interest in ragging,pulling each other`s legs,thebday parties,the bday bums et al which they enjoyed so much tillnow.All they want is a good placement and a '1st-class' tag attached to their memo.

19).The first three years are spent in cursing the college,the people there,the system et al.

18) College life is bliss.

20).But towards the end of the fourth year,people tend to feelnostalgic abt the pure unadulterated fun they have had for 4 years.Nowthe very system they disliked,the very canteen they cursed,the timethat they spent there,the bday bums they suffered..all these seem like heaven to them.

To me personally,engg has been great fun..its been a 4 year holiday tome.. studied,but had lots and lots of fun. The memories I`ll take back,the friends that I have made here and the degree that I`ve obtained will be cherished by me..always.
