Hostel life : An Experience to be Remembered for Lifetime

Have you ever thought to escape from the madness of your home and come into a completely different place so that you can live as per your own way? Well I was never one of those, but living in the hostel has taught me more than the classroom learning because there are many lessons in life that books can’t teach you.  People have different perceptions about hostel life. Some find it too exciting while the other one is filled with mixed emotions as he is about to come at a strange place far away from his home. So basically, hostel is a new world to live in which makes you smart, active, independent and learner and everyone must experience this life

Here are some of the basic reasons why this is an experience to be remembered for lifetime:

Learn to be independent

From the childhood, you have been pampered by your parents and they have done every possible thing to make you happy. But once you come to a new place, you realize that you cannot rely on your parents for every small thing. At so many stages, you take such decisions where there are no backups available. So hostel life teaches you to work on your own as it is really important to be independent in today’s world and it is a biggest lesson one learns while staying at a hostel. This may appear a bit troublesome in the beginning, but you get used to it after sometime and also turn into a confident person.

Home away from home

Isn’t it strange, how a person leaves his own place to reside in a new environment with strangers who gradually becomes his own family members? Though in initial days, people feel homesick. But once days keep going on, they start enjoying this life. You fight like an animal and cry like an idiot with your mates but those people are also the reason behind your smile. At the time of any problem, you know that you aren’t alone as they are standing by you not matter what.

Warden’s strict rules and punishments becomes the part of your daily routine. But when it comes to protection and concern, there’s no one better than him/her. From crying on the first day due to the feeling of strangeness to crying on the last day to leave those strangers, hostel becomes your home away from home.

Time and money management

Whether you excel at any other thing or not, managing time and money are the sure shots during this lodging. Being at home, we tend to happily spend the money wherever we wished to. But once you come out of your comfort place, you have monthly expenses that you need to spend sensibly. When you are given a particular amount of money, you definitely learn its value. Also, you learn the importance of time. Despite of all the regular fun and gossips in a hostel, you know how to take out time for your studies and assignments as these are the significant reasons behind your stay miles away from your family. This is how, hostel life teaches you to manage time and money in an accurate manner.

Fun, joy and Celebrations

Hostelers do not need a specific reason to celebrate. No matter if it is someone’s birthday or the other one’s bad day due to getting low marks in a test, you would find every kind of celebration in a hostel. Deciding what to do a night before, contributing money, dividing work among students and putting their best in every party, this is what hostlers do to make an event a memorable one. But these little gatherings lighten up everyone’s mood and fill the students with new zeal and enthusiasm.

Every small occasion and festival is celebrated with utmost pleasure and joy. And the sole purpose behind such events is to bring a sense of togetherness. (Well, I have no idea how much I’m going to miss these celebrations after my hostel life gets over)

The more you share, the more you care

We have always been taught that sharing is caring. But I understood the real meaning of this phrase after getting entered in my hostel life.

From sharing bed to wearing clothes & footwear of each others to eagerly waiting for your friend who is returning from home along with his\her “Ghar ka Khana”, hostel mates know how to share their stuffs with one another. Not only food and accessories, your random problems, serious issues, deep secrets are also being shared to feel lighter and get a sensible advice which rarely comes out from your idiotic creatures. So hostel life never fails to teach you the actual meaning of sharing.

Lifelong connections and memories

One of the most interesting reasons to experience such temporary accommodations is you come across with people from various cultures and backgrounds. You get to know about their lifestyles, opinions on different things. Generally friends gained at hostel are the ones that remain for our lifetime. They know about our crazy habits, silly tantrums but still choose to be with us. Time spent with them is indeed worth to remember. And such bonds results into a lifetime connections with whom you’ve cherished every little memory.

This life brings out the real you and extremely valuable memories for life. Some of them are unquestionably terrible; however most of them are immense and priceless. No matter how long a pile of clothes waiting to be washed or how pathetic the mess food is, hostlers knows how to manage things in their own way.

Enjoy every little moment of your hostel life because such madness won’t ever come back! 🙂

 

    HOSTEL LIFE ROCKS..!!

Everyone have different mindsets about the term Dance.

It is said that “focus on the simple things that brings you joy”. Dancing can make you feel good because it will make you feel so alive even within a couple of minutes or hours. You will realize that it is one of the simplest way to lift your spirit. And the best part is you’re living and enjoying every moment of it, without thinking of anything else.

If you want to dance for happiness, always keep the most common but important phrase “Dance like no one’s watching” and you will feel like a carefree bird.

One of the most beautiful things about dancing is that it connects us to metaphor without having to think about the meanings and connections-we can just experience them. so just dance and enjoy the moment.

Benefits of dance

One can also get various benefits just by listening to the tune of music and performing on it even if you dance for happiness.

  • Brings positivity: We experience loads of negative vibe around us which is really frustrating off at times. We always find one or the other way to escape from that negativity. And when there’s dance, there’s always a way. No matter whether you’re a professional dancer or just a beginner, the moment you start stepping your feet and moving your hands, you will start feeling afresh. Correct me if I’m wrong but it’s the most chilled out way to brings positivity in one’s life. Isn’t it?
  • Pure emotion: Expressing without Explaining verbally or in written, I don’t think anything else could be such easier form of depicting your emotions with full of grace and purity. Well, that’s the beauty of dance where one does not have to pretend or be fake in any sense.
  • Improves Fitness and flexibility: Obesity and laziness is a serious issue in 21st But dance helps you to get rid of this problem. It brings your energy level higher and makes you more active. Here’s just a small reminder ‘ Be fit, Be flexible just by moving your body according to the beats of music’
  • Takes away your stress: In this world full of worries and tensions, one always need that one thing which makes him/her feel refreshed and lighten. Dance can help you to boost up your mood and can let you forget about all the worries.silhouette of person jumping during dawn
  • Makes you more social and trendy: It is almost impossible to stay away from one or the other media platform, especially for young generation like us as going with a “trend” is all that we want. You always post video on social websites whenever you learn or see something new in terms of dance. What a cool way to be a good source of entertainer among your friends and family. Isn’t it?
  • Good career opportunity: It can be tough at times when your passion doesn’t pay all your bills. Many dancers find themselves irritated and working odd jobs just to make ends meet. But there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. There are number of ways you can use your craft to generate some extra income. Like, teach private lessons or classes, choreograph for special events, write articles on dance, monetize your social account, post your dance tutorials on YouTube etc.

Not every hobby has to become hustle

If you cook well and have adequate knowledge of different types of dishes, someone will eventually suggest you to do it for money. If you write anything convincing or affecting, you’ll be asked to write a book or an article. This might look interesting and exciting to you at initial stage but slowly you will have to keep a track of everything because now your hobby has turned out to your profession. There are bigger consequences to your commitments, customers to satisfy, rules to follow and so on. Now, no matter how great you’re, if you end up losing money, you’ve failed. And the harder you hustle, the more prominent your failure will be.

Similarly there are number of people who have keen interest in dancing but not everyone thinks of making it their own profession. This is  because they want to enjoy their special talent without taking it as a burden or responsibility. And it is completely fine as everyone’s version of happiness is something different. If there are certain things which gives you the utmost satisfaction, even though you’re not getting anything in return as of now, do more of that. I believe that to be happy means to get to know yourself and your purpose better.

Being happy is all you need.

So for all the dancers or my lovely audience who are reading this blog, here is a small advice for you all that there’s no such necessity to always convert your talent into professional work. If you are very sure about it and you haven’t thought of any other alternative for your career then only go for it otherwise it’s better to keep your hobby aside from your work. It would be great if your dancing skills can help you in earning but only if you’re happy from inside and out, otherwise there’s no worth of it. Because at the end of the day, all that you want is to stay happy.
