Friends depart and memory takes them to her caverns, pure and deep. (Thomas Haynes)

Tears trickle down my cheeks as I remember my last day in my college. It was the day of parting and parting in life is painful. I can never forget that day when I left college and entered professional life. It was a golden period of my life. But the golden period passed away like a happy dream.

Tears from the depth of some divine despair, Rise in the heart and gather to eyes. In looking on the happy autumn fields. And thinking of the days that are no more. (Tennyson)

My last day at college is still fresh in my memory. It was a day of mixed joy and sorrow. The principal was addressing a big audience. Some attentive students were listening to and clapping whenever the speaker made such a point. Some naughty ones were whispering and passing funny remarks over the speech. This is typical college student character.

The music in my heart I bore long after it was heard no more. (Wordsworth)

Earlier, some students staged a show – which included comic skits dance and music performance. All the performers had shown great artistic skill in each performance. They showed that education does not mean cramming of books only. It includes publishing one’s talent and enabling one to be a useful citizen.

When the speech ended the students rushed to the dining hall. An appetizing meal was waiting for us. Some of us pounced upon the dishes whereas others showed a good control. I was hearing the noise of plates, spoons and glasses etc. When the lunch was over, a new announcement was made which surprised us. A function on the last day is very typical – a variety show, principal’s address and a punch. But this was more than that which made it memorable and quite unique. It was a career guidance session.

The senior professors sat in a row on the stage and spoke on engineering, medical, arts and business administration. No doubt we knew about them but our information was very superficial. Besides, many of us had various misconceptions also. The worthy professors invited questions from the audience. Each student wanted to ask questions which were not possible because of the shortage of time. However, they collected some sample questions and answered them thoroughly.

They had obtained prospectuses from various engineering institutions, medical colleges, universities and commerce institutions. It was a great effort. We could go through a prospectus of our choice and gather a fair idea about the scheme of studies and the institution itself. After spending a good long time in session, we returned home. I call it a day.

There are more men ennobled by study than by nature. (Cicero)

In the end, the function proved to be a stepping stone for us. We had come with a misconception of eating and enjoying only. But our college administration had turned it into a unique purpose oriented one. To guide and lead someone in the right direction is a great virtue, and our college had just done the same. The last day at college had become the first day for another institution for us. My last day at college made me realize that.

Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of water. (Revarol)
