Jump that Hurdle

How is it like to see a life after college!

Hey there. It's been loooooong time since I posted a blog.

Academics, exams, placements, and of course GOT⚔ occupied most of my time in a day during these days. Ask any engineering student. You will hear the same routine. Rinse and repeat it for 4 years!😐

But is that enough for a challenge awaiting outside your classroom? Remember your real learning starts outside those four walls with a steep learning curve.

Life after college is the beginning of a new era.

Many people have different ideas, taking a master degree, traveling somewhere to explore something, or in search of their loved one, to become a hostage to their spouse and so on.😂

And here comes the crucial decision. Starting your career on your own. There are a plethora of opportunities and as well as pits awaiting outside to give you invaluable experiences which your classrooms never teach you! I know this is a typical saying. But the question is, are you ready for it?

Ready for what?😓

A life without depending on your parents!

A life without the attitude of funky college guy

A life which shatters and dispirits you!

To be short are you willing to take a professional lifestyle? Are you ready to come out of college and take a hard decision? If yes make it loud and clear. Most of us say, 
                                                        Yeah! I'm ready!💪
 

But we don't know how to jump that hurdle. Most of us fall there with sludge all over. It is not an overnight process to cross it and we cannot leave like, cross it when it comes. You cannot be safe and sound always like a calf near its mom. Life is full of ups and downs for which we all must be prepared. What if the company that you joined today kicks you off tomorrow😢. I know everyone wants to have their life spick and span. But it demands more than what you expect. Learning this after college is like hitting a rock and saying it is too hard, you must have known what a rock is and how to deal with it.

The earlier you start the more you have a chance of having a splendid life.

Change your hobbies, it'll change your life

First of all, maintain your hobbies. Hobbies for life can change and make yours' pure and simple. Develop hobbies under different track

• Hobbies for entertainment- reading books, treks, music, etc.

• Hobbies for earning- learning a skill like public speaking, blog writing, freelancing in various domains, etc.

• Hobbies for making you strong-  Jogging, joining a gym, or just lifting weights at home, meditation. 

I know it can be awful, but to get cured you must intake whatever it takes and however it tastes! It is going to be a tough bite when you are still watching your favorite series in Netflix and crunching that bag of chips.

Believe me, hobbies make you stronger than you think. It gives you the confidence to face anything. You always have confidence in facing things which in turn makes you do it tooth and nail and achieve success in it. You will become too good that people can't avoid you, you have lots of experience and guidance to be shared with people, which may fetch you a career that you haven't dreamt of.

Networking

Develop a strong network of people who are smarter than you. Talk to them whenever and wherever possible. Initiate a conversation even at water tap meets. Carry a smile everywhere.

Be strong to face criticisms, it is what sculptures you. Don't be dumb. You are not going to lose your job just because you initiated a conversation with a stranger. But in turn, you may get one. At the end of the conversation, you would have earned a meaningful relationship and knowledge.

Love

College and workspace relationships don't matter when it comes to your life. Love is a part of your life. Sacrificing it for life will turn you down. It has the capability of changing your life from rags to riches when handled properly, if not it may happen the other way around.

Money

But finally, remember there is no life if you are not happy. It actually reflects out in your work. You can't smile when your mind is screaming about something else. You can't complete your job if you haven't slept well the last night. Joining a job for the sake of money will make you drive nuts. Because a job is something that occupies half of your life. Make it worth spending half of your life.

Do what you love!

Not everything here is about money!

I know a guy started a charity that gives free counseling to people who are mentally weak, trying to commit suicide. He completed his law school degree and now he is doing this, while his friends are making thousands of bucks.

There are multiple ways like this, that compounds your productivity. Its a step by step process. Take a step each day and eventually, you'll find yourself up above the sky, like a twinkling star😝. Read more like this and share it with people. I hope these things will never let you down and out in any way shape or form. Do these yourself and ask your friends to do by sharing... We shall grow as a large community.
