It has finally been a week since I joined my dream course, and started attending classes, and it's been a hell of an experience until now.
After waiting and hustling for a long time, I finally was able to start this journey of being a medico. In the beginning it was an emotional roller coaster, everything was going to be different now, even though I was mentally prepared for this from aa long time, there still were a few doubt in my mind, and these just faded away when I, moved into my hostel, and started meeting, vibing with people. Here's my experience, please do read ahead to understand the connection between this blog's title and content :)
There was nothing major on the first sday, it was only moving in, saying goodbyes and also greeting new people with whom I'll be spending the next 5.5 years, and these are the people who are going to be part of a major phase of my life.
So on the first day, I first met my roommates, then set things in, and finally said goodbye to my parents, after having lunch my friend and I decided to go around our college campus, post all that I ended up meeting my batch mates, became friends, shared a few nice moments.
The next day was supposed to be the first day of the foundation course, we were expected to wear formals, and be neatly dressed, I ended up waking up at 6am, freshened up, went down to see the beautiful morning sky.
I had mixed reactions towards the classes, a few were fun, but a few made me kinda doze off. The lecture hall was indeed big, and there were a lot of people, but we hardly spoke to anyone else except for our friends, and this kinda made me question if it's gonna be like this for the rest of the year, and was I actually in the wrong place. The classes were over, my friends and I again went around the campus, had a great time. Finally the day came to an end, but there was a slight feeling of getting home sick, with which I went to bed.
We are always asked to trust the timing of our life, even though the future lies in our hands, we can't decide how it's gonna be always, and how everything's going to turn out.
The third day actually made me have faith in the proverb, I can clearly say that it was one of the best days I've experienced in the past few weeks. This day was filled with uncontrollable laughter, happiness, and a feeling of satisfaction. Finally I met and spoke to more people, got to know them, and showcase my talent which I had been hiding coz I didn't wanna be a laughing stalk. After a long time that feeling of emptiness has left my heart, and there was a completely new emotion which I can't describe in words. I could see and sense happiness and joy around, and it felt as though I also am capable of a lot of things.
Finally the tables have turned, and happiness has entered the story.
There is this idiom, every cloud has a silver lining, and this year 2022 has taught me to believe in it. No matter how the year started, passed, but in the end I am finally happy doing what I always wanted to, times have evidently changed.
The emotional roller coaster has finally come to a halt, and things are going on a good path right now.
