New Semester...new beginnings

A lot has changed since my one month break in India. Life in US has taken a 360 Degree shift. Things around have changed a lot. 

Happiness is a funny thing. Last semester, I had a wonderful time, great friends around. Everything around just seemed perfect. We rocked the place. But somehow at the back of my mind, I had this feeling that life was becoming a big mess.

Enjoying the good times, I was ignorant about many things in life which weren't in the right place. It's like any sport. If you keep winning, you sometimes ignore the mistakes you are making.
After India trip, a lot has changed. Things around are not the same as they used to be. But, despite a big pile of mess around, I feel that my life is much more sorted.I feel that I am more happier than ever before. For now, I know exactly where I am heading. I know that the tangled part of my life is slowly getting sorted. I see a big pile of garbage lying around me, but I have no time to look at it. I walk past it and move on.

Sometimes Happiness comes from within and not things around you.

If everyday seems like a weekend, the actual 'weekend' loses it's value. Weekend has it's value after a tiring week. It gives you more fun if you've earned it! As life is getting busier, the courses getting tougher, there is no time to look at the mess around. Actually, there is very little time left for yourself too. I cherish this little time that I have and try to make the best use of it. 

Few months back, I had a lot of spare time and fewer friends to talk to. Now I have little time and lots of people around.

I love this life. When I look back, I've been happier during the busier times. That's when I have done the most substantial things.

"When I look back, I've been happier during the busier times. That's when I have done the most substantial things."
I really like your concluding sentences. Like this one, so true. I am free after 8 semesters and within a fortnight, its getting to me. Somehow it was good to have things on your mind. Deadlines to deal with. And professors to tackle. :D
