1. Getting used to seeing your name on the ATKT list, and being more fluent with the ATKT exam time table than your actual one.
2. Cribbing about going to college on "presentation day", but not letting it hamper your desire to continue causing mischief on the premises.
3. Trying to figure out the complicated process of securing enough attendance to pass the semester.

7. Going to the photocopy centre so many times that your house was basically wallpapered by the amount of notes you xeroxed.

9. And getting your daily fix of street food between classes, because you were broke, but also because it was EFFIN' DELICIOUS.
10. Freaking the hell out whenever you had to hustle because an assignment was due and you started late. So, every time.
11. Getting rid of the after-effects of a night-time "beverage" binge with the trusty combination of chai and ANY other dish.
12. Trying out the food in your college canteen in the first week to find out that they use the same masala in literally everything.

15. Bunking the first class of the day so you and your buddies could go see a movie for cheap.
