Ten Things I Learnt Living in a Hostel

Most members of the CO 2008 must have lived in a hostel at some point of time in their life. Here's what I remember from my days at BITS, Pilani

1. There is nothing in the world that can’t be shared (ok, not underwear!)
2. A clean room means an untidy cupboard.
3. Three meals a day implies: Sandwich for brunch, Sutta & Chai for evening snacks, and Maggi/Bread Omelette for dinner. (For the indulgent, I guess there will be Biryani at ISB)
4. A movie before a test is the perfect preparation.
5. Assignments aren’t copied – they are products of collective thinking.
6. No alarm clock is better than a ‘caring’ wingie (wingmate/neighbour/guy-next-door).
7. Nightouts (All night-no sleep) are for ‘recreational’ activities.
8. All attempts at nightouts for studying/completing assignments are doomed failures.
9. Whisky tastes better in disposable Pepsi Glasses.
10. Half a cigarette is better than none (so think before you stub out that last one in the pack!).
    

There’s my bit of remembrance. I guess life at ISB will be quite different from what we had at Pilani, but I hope all you guys are looking forward to reliving the ‘campus’ experience. So please add to the list through your comments and lets look forward to a great year!
