You know you ve almost finished college when :

Teachers smile at you when you meet them.

You have a LOT of notes piled up in/on your desk.

People ask you about your future plans

You get calls from somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody who knows you, about the college you are going to pass out of. questions range from 'You think my daughter will fit with the crowd' to 'what is the cut-off percentage ma'.

Friends who stay in a hostel or have rented an apartment and until recently reffered it to as 'The Hostel' or 'The place' now call it 'Home'.

Your parents are ready to buy you as many clothes as you want.

You fill out slam books!

Facebook shows 40 friends online although all of them have exams.

You ve had a marvellous farewell party.

You love Mafia wars.

You already miss canteen food so much that every chance you get to go there you eat EVERYTHING possible.

You find yourself making lists about how you know you are almost done with college.

when your college gives you feedback forms and ask you to tick if you'd like to come back as a chief guest or full time faculty :P
lol.!! Seems like ur college was quite a place.!! Leavin college makes u feel like ur losing somethin naah... Though personally hostel life for me was far more memorable than college.. Hehe..
And true, quite true.. That lovin mafia wars is a sign to get goin.!! Lol.!! :-)
And wats this, u eat canteen stuff because u miss it?!!!! Man.. That place must be good.!! We boycotted our canteen and gave a lot of business to the "Tattukada" lol.!!

Well, you didnt added the marriage proposals arranged by your parents??!!
Lol... so true!! And yeah, the marriage bureau! :P
ohh...nostalgic....???
so this time of the year I'll really read many nostalgic posts because of obvious reasons...

hmmm....I also love my canteen and I'll really miss it after 2 yrs
You think you'll miss college... You think that one day, you'll start getting nostalgic; that you'd really wish you were back there.

The really funny thing is... you have NO idea how MUCH you'll actually miss it.

I know you think you'll miss it very much, but there will be short bursts when you will miss it with such an intensity that you'll feel how you couldn't have anticipated that.

And then again, you may not be like me. YOU... might be normal.
:D
wow, nice write up...

and you got a great smile, if you were here, instead of b'lore, i'd have asked you out and proposed for marriage ;)

if you don't believe in love at first sight, maybe, you need to reconsider from today, hehe!
