12 Expectation Vs Reality Of Life After College

If only there was a well-written code of conduct, as to how we will lead our lives after college, people would have been much happier, at ease and in aukat about planning. I never thought I’d be so paranoid until the day when reality showed up with bitter truths of the world.

Here’s how life breaks our big bubble. .

1. Expectation: My dream job is waiting for me right outside

 

Reality: Pretty close, never mind

 

2. Expectation: Big apartment with your friends and so much fun

 

Reality: Three friends, three different cities

 

3. Expectation: Will hang out with colleagues, just how it used to be in college

 

Reality: Nopes, not happening.

 

4. Expectation: Will go to the office in my brand new car / bike

 

Reality: Travelling in public transport

 

5. Expectation: Instant flow of cash and no limitation

 

Reality: Aamdani athani, kharcha rupiya

 

6. Expectation: Big travel plans because my money my choices

 

Reality: No leaves. FML

 

7. Reality during college days: When shit gets real

 

Reality after college days: When shit gets real

 

8. Expectation: You can’t wait for it to begin

 

Reality: You wish to go back

 

9. Expectation:  I’ll do whatever I want to do

 

Reality: Boss, can I take a break for 20 minutes?

 

10. Expectation: I will attend all live concerts, shows, movies etc

 

Reality: No more discount for being a student

 

11. Expectation: I will spend all my money on myself

12. Expectation: Kar lo duniya muthi me

 

Reality: Humse na ho payi . .

But mama told me– Fall down 7 times, get up eight. The initial years are going to ignite the erk in your heart, but anything that doesn’t kills you makes you stronger. Stiffen up little soldier !!
