Semester Reflections

 By Sai kumkala | Tech • Life • Experience • Motivation

I still have one semester exam left… yet somehow, two years have already passed.

But this time, I don’t feel the way I used to.

Two semesters went by, and almost an entire year passed without stepping into college properly.

When I compare all of this to my first year, everything feels completely different now.

There was a certain happiness back then…

the excitement of growing, struggling, and completing every semester together.

And now, that feeling feels so distant.

What hurts the most is not the exams themselves, but the realisation of how far those moments have drifted away with time.

And maybe that one theory makes sense now !! 

Every year a senior will tell you that college goes by faster that you think and you never get how right they are until you are a senior

And just like last time, I’ll be going home again these exams end.

But this time, there’s no excitement attached to it.

Last time, it felt like relief. Like we had finished something together.

There was happiness in leaving campus, in saying goodbye for a while, in going back home after everything was done.

Now it feels strangely simple.

The exams end.I go home.And life quietly moves on.

Somewhere along the way, college stopped feeling like a part of life and slowly became just another phase passing silently in the background.

Funny how the same roads, the same classrooms, and the same semester exams can feel completely different…simply because we are no longer the same people who once started all of this with excitement in our eyes.
