Transformation of a josephite into a Cusat'ian

Well i think its high time i answer how it actually feels to be in a highly reputed university like Cusat & about the most excited period of transformation from a josephite into a Cusat'ian .Like many of my classmates I did take a long time to understand & realize that we are no longer that same old school students .Frequent comparisons of the department ,classes &the new environment with the former continued for many weeks , there were even hours when i sat awake at late nights in thought of my dear ones back there in calicut &the question whether how long could i hold the pressure of transformation haunted me. I know it will be the same for anyone who had to bid farewell to an institution that was their home for past 10 years. I terribly missed in the early days of my college the fun ,excitement of my school days , I longed for the warmth of my navy blue uniform ,skirts ,french puffed shirts ,tie, rolled up socks&shoes ,the hymns of Carmel chimes,the spirited silence in the altars of the chapel ,my classrooms & i missed the pleasure of short speeches and ambiance of the auditorium ....... for the first time in my life i was feeling lonely in the vast campus. I Know St. Josephs was my home where i learned the basic lessons to live life ahead . I remember as if yesterday the way we used to cheer being victorious in various events & the proud faces of all of us raising the trophies , practise for the youth festivals , lab sessions of the science classes & even the com baring for the programmes. Life suddenly seem to be bitter some how i knew i had to travel along.The only advantage i had in the earlier period of college days was my interest in the subject i chose , i enjoyed the sessions from 9 to 4 pm but the outer classroom sessions could never interest me. but slowly the ice was melting , things started to change ,new friends, hostel life , the big library , my seniors was turning ever welcoming. The bond we 36 or 35 of us developed within a short span made life in the campus much more smoother to live in . Last minute preparations for the internals , moots , assignment presentations ,the frequent messages that we receive ,was once again providing this 18 yr old a hope to live ahead .

The life in Cusat is much different from being in a catholic girls only institution like St. josephs . SLS & life in Cusat is much more a wider &broader sphere. I Know that St . josephs is my past , a golden period to cherish in my life & Cusat is my present , yet another golden period to secure my future .... Yes i am today proud to be a Cusat'ian
