Why?

College days are the most memorable days of life. The carefree, aimless days are indeed truly cherish able but this age is also the time to make many decisions. “What next?” is one such imposing question which keeps looming at the back of your head when you are confronted with choices in career/life. You realize that its all in your hands now, the same freedom to choose which you demanded earlier doesn’t seem so appealing anymore. You ask yourself what you enjoy doing (studying rather) the most. And introspection is not something which comes to teenagers easily. Some also have the additional burden of parental pressure to follow the stereotype education say engineering, medicine etc [no offence meant to people who are willingly doing it] After you finally figure out what you are really good at comes the choice of college. And most of us are very prone to get carried away by the frivolities [ask me about itJ] the choice between the hip n happening college or the one offering better education. I think the choices we make the outcome of us answering the question “Why?” If you want to know the whys of practical sciences you take up engineering. If you seek the answers of the human body you opt for medicine. If the ways of economics and trade interest you, you take up commerce. If you want the world to become aware of the happenings you take up journalism.

There are a lot more questions like “What if?” This question is relatively easier to answer because for this there are two straight answers one right the other wrong. Even if you do make a few wrong choices nothing is lost you learn and grow wiser. You grow wiser when you get to see your marks when you choose not to study just like you grow wiser when you hurt people you love and they continue to stand by you. You grow wiser when you conclude whether the choices you made were right or wrong. We grow wiser in order to choose againJ
