Tips For Surviving Hostel Life

Hostel life...don't we all crave for it. We all eagerly wait to join the hostel and start enjoying life. But only if living in hostel were that easy!It never was and will never be, but that does not mean you cannot enjoy it.

Just follow some rules or more precisely exercise some caution and you will find that hostel life is not only exciting and thrilling, but will be one of the best learning experiences. Here’s a crash course in surviving hostel life:

1)      Distance- I know you are all thrilled about having a room mate and can't wait to share everything with him/her but always remember a bit of distance does no harm. In fact on the contrary, it will only help you. Maintaining distance helps in reducing conflicts, which will be unbearably many.

2)      Rumors / gossip - This is something that you cannot escape. You will get to hear new and nearly impossible stories about yourself but never lose your cool. Never overreact and most importantly never believe what others say. Also never fuel any rumor about others.

3)      Money- This is one soft corner for all and one touchy topic. Always keep your accounts clear with everyone. Don't take money you cannot return. Money can create many problems among friends. Most importantly, never disclose your atm pin password to anyone. It might get “borrowed.”

Pro tip: If anyone asks to borrow Rs. 5 / 10 or anything in low denominations, always lend them Rs. 100. It’s easier to ask for Rs. 100 than to keep track of all the Rs. 10 / 20 / 30 you’ve lent someone.

4)      Studies- In all this fun and frolic, studies take a back seat. Always remember why you have joined the college. Enjoy college but keep your grades. It will also help you to earn some extra bucks from your parents.

5)      Sharing-  Sharing is caring but know the limits of sharing. Always keep boundaries both while giving and taking. Don’t go overboard by taking things without asking people. The rule is to be kind but not needy.

6)      Get used to the noise -  There will always be someone talking aloud, playing music on high volume, screaming on the phone. It’s most irritating when you all you want is some quiet “Me” time. Hostels can never be quiet. Be patient and you’ll soon get used to the noise.

 These are the basic 6 rules for surviving in hostel. But your stay in hostel will teach you many more lessons. Hostel life is a roller coaster ride...enjoy this ride and the friend’s you make here!

10 Ways Indian’s Are Unique

Indian’s can be recognized by the way they think and behave…ANYWHERE in the world!

Indian’s can be recognized by the way they think and behave ANYWHERE in the world! Here are 10 unique idiosyncrasiesof Indian’s…
1. When looking for a girl friend / wife…there is only one rule - even if the guy is not “FAIR AND HANDSOME,” the girl must always be “FAIR AND LOVELY!”
 

2. Pick-ups and drops to the airport or railway station OR long bus journeys involve carting the whole family.
A minimum of two people for everyone received. And if you’re dropping / picking someone up from an international flight, then pretty much the whole family and the “aartikithaali” goes to the airport. Remember the airport scene from Hum Tum in which KirronKher is dropping Rani to the airport?

3. Street food is not an adventure for us. It’s a part and parcel of our daily life.
In fact, we use it to test the strength of our digestive system from time to time.
 
4. We travel in “packs” and are comfortable with it.
In fact, overcrowding is our national MOTTO… Why do you think we have a population of 1.2 billion that’s still growing?
 

5. EveryIndian girl has 3 types of brothers
The Real brother, the Cousin brother and the Rakhee brother. And we take gifts from all of them!
 
6. If we live away from home and don’t call Mom daily, she’ll freak out and call every friend’s whose number she has and make sure we are alive.
 
7. We don’t need GPS… our paanwala, rick shaw- wala, taxi-wala network is better than Apple maps or Google maps. And they’ll give you tips as well 

8. Occasions like marriage, the many many festivals we have, meeting relatives or close family friends call for blessings – In the form of GIFTS!
 
9. However old we get, our parents will still need to know every detail of our schedule. DAILY! Sometimes they’ll even call ten times a day to know….

10. The first thing we do when the remote’s battery dies is bang it or slap the shit out of it, to make it work!
 
But there’s still no denying we Indians are the BEST!

3. The Girl You’ll Never Have

We’ve all been here before. The first day you join college, you fall in love. You try your best to get the girl but it just doesn’t happen. So what do you do? You befriend her. You may not ever be with her, but the company is too good to pass up. And trust us, this is going to continue for the next few years of your college life. She’ll be a great friend just not the way you’d like her to be!

4. The Gossip Monger

These are the friends who keep you updated on all that’s going on in college. They’ve got the dirt on every living soul on campus. They’ll tell you which Professor is the most chilled out and exactly why he’s chilled out.
