A Day in the Life of a College Student It was a bright Monday morning when Aarav rushed out of his hostel room with his bag half-zipped and a book in his hand. The clock had already struck 8:55, and his first lecture started at 9. Like most college mornings, he skipped breakfast but promised himself he’d grab something later from the canteen. As he entered the classroom, slightly out of breath, his friends giggled. “Late again?” Meera teased. Aarav smiled sheepishly and found a seat in the last row. The lecture began, but his mind drifted between the upcoming fest, his incomplete assignment, and the cricket match planned for the evening. After classes, the group gathered under the old banyan tree — their favorite spot. Laughter, snacks, and endless chatter filled the afternoon. Some talked about dreams, others about exams, and a few just enjoyed the moment. Evening arrived with the sound of cricket bats and cheering friends. Though tired, Aarav felt alive. Later that night, sitting by his study table, he reflected — college life was not just about books and exams. It was about friendships, lessons, laughter, and memories that would last forever.
