My First Day At College
OR. The Most Memorable Day of My Life
Introduction : All
the days of our life are not equally important and memorable. Only a few of
these days occupy a corner in our heart. My first day at college is such a day.
I shall never forget this day. From my school days I heard a lot about college
life from my college going elder brothers and sisters. I formed a very romantic
impression of a college life. So. I was eagerly waiting for that happy and romantic
college life.
At last the cherished day came. It was the 26th of October 2017.
My joys knew no bounds. I put on my new dress and started for Yale-NUS College at 9 A.M. I was charmed to see the attractive and beautiful college
building. I understood that the college life opened before me a new vision of
life and I must go forward.
The whole college campus was crowded by lots of young pupils
both male and female. They were all unknown to me. I felt very lonely. I was
moving here and there. I was in a fix where to go. At last I met one of my
school friends. I was relieved. We exchanged greetings. We went to the notice
board of the college and wrote down class -routine. There were many new comers.
They were also taking the routine. I found that the classes are not held in a
particular room. I will have to change my class room. From the routine I also
learnt that there were intervals.
First period : When the bell for the first period rang, we
entered the room number 223. I found many students sitting. After a while, a
well dressed, handsome gentleman entered the class. He was a professor of English.
All the students stood up to show him respect. He called over the rolls. He
spoke to us very softly in simple and clear English. I liked his speech very
much. His speech was meaningful. I listened to him with undivided attention.
Other classes : Classes on Mathematics and other subjects
were held. All the teachers were highly
qualified. They were very polite and friendly. The professor of Mathematics delivered
his speech in a polite way. He cut some
jokes and made us laugh. Now I can realize that a college teacher is different from a school
teacher.
The college common room : During off period I went to the
college common room. I was glad to see
the college common room. It was well furnished. There were Newspapers, Magazines and Journals. There were also
caroms, table tennis sets and chess boards etc. I found some students playing and some reading newspapers,
magazines and journals.
Assembly Hall : The college Assembly Hall was very
attractive. It was well decorated and spacious. Meetings debates and other
social functions of the college are held here.
Science Laboratories
: I visited the science laboratories.
It also gave me much joy and pleasure. There were many unknown and great
things of the world. I found the science busy with their practical classes and
experiments. I went to the college botanical garden. Biology Laboratory with
frogs, rats, plants and flowers delighted me much.
The college library : Another attraction for me at my first
day at college was the college library I found millions of books arranged in
shelves. I had never seen so many books before. My heart danced
with joy.
The college mosque,
pagoda and gymnasium : I was also charmed to see the beautiful college mosque.
There was a big pond before the mosque. The college pagoda for the Buddhist
that stands beside the river Kallang presents a great scene. The college
gymnasium is also worth mentioning. After the end of the class hours I went to
the play ground. I took part in football with
some of my new friends.
Conclusion : My first day at college is the most memorable
day. My college life opened before me a world of responsibilities. It was a day
of discovery of my own-self indeed.
