" The Journey Back "

      "  My First Solo College Homecoming  "


Introduction



Returning home from college is always a bittersweet experience. The excitement of returning with family and old friends blends with the nostalgia of leaving behind the newfound independence and friendships forged at school. However, my recent journey held a unique twist - it was my first time making the trip alone. In this blog, I will share my experience and the valuable lessons i learned during my first solo college homecoming. 


The Decision to Travel Alone

Leaving campus for the first time on my on was both liberating and slightly nerve-wracking . The decision to travel solo stemmed from a desire for independence and personal growth. I wanted to prove to myself that  I could handle the responsibilities of a solo journey, from planning my itinerary to managing my expenses.




The Planning Phase

The journey began with meticulous planning. I researched the best transportation options, timetables, and routes to ensure  a smooth trip. Booking my tickets well in advance helped me secure the best deals and guarantee my seat on the bus or train. 



I also made a checklist of essential items, including my ID, phone charger, snacks, and a good book. These preparations gave me peace of mind and helped me stay organised throughout the journey.


The Journey Itself

The day finally arrived, and i embarked on my solo adventure. the initial moments were filled with mixed emotions, but as I settled into my seat, I felt a sense of empowerment. The journey became an opportunity for self-reflection and growth.



As the landscapes outside my window changed, I couldn`t help but ponder the transformative experiences I`d had at college. It was a change to appreciate the past while looking forward to the future.


Challenges Faced

Solo travel isn`t without its challenges. I encountered unexpected delays and had to adapt to changes in my schedule. However, these obstacles taught me resilience and the importance of staying calm in the face of adversity. I also learned to ask for help when needed, whether it was seeking directions or assistance with my luggage.


Arrival and Reunion

Arriving home , I was not greeted with open arms by my family as my mom and dad was busy in their duties and my siblings were busy in sleeping they have no interest in welcoming me . But when we went to our village then we have a lot much fun . I applied mehndi to all lady party. At night I played song at high sound and we all child group dance together. At the end I had a video game battle with my brother and I won. Then we started watching movie named "jawan" and slept at 2pm.  So the joy of returning made the journey worth it. Early morning I have to come back .



Returning with loved ones after time apart is a special experience that deepens connections. The time that I spend with my family was the most beautiful one .


Conclusion

My first solo college homecoming was an adventure that allowed me to embrace both the past and future. It was a journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and the realization that I can navigate the world independently. As I continue to eager to face new challenges with confidence.

" College Friendship" "Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies."   I used to think this was the world`s worst quote, which made no sense, complete rubbish. How can one soul live in two bodies?? Even family members don`t share the same thoughts, so how could two people have the same soul ??  Initially I don`t understand the real meaning of friendship. For me, my dad is always their. He plays the most important role in my life. He is my mentor, friend, and the biggest supporter ,who understands me more then I do. His first job is to make me happy even though he has a lot of work or is very tired. Dad loves me as a princess and scolds me as a mentor. Always, his first priority is me and my happiness. He is everything to me.                                   My mom: she is just awesome. I really don`t  have words to describe her. I tried a lot to write about her but a...
