My hostel life has been a new and different experience for me. In the beginning, it was not easy to stay away from my family. I missed my home, my parents, and homemade food a lot. Slowly, I started adjusting to hostel life. I learned how to manage my daily routine, like waking up on time and managing my studies. Sharing rooms with others was also challenging because everyone comes from different backgrounds and living together is not always easy, so adjustment is necessary.
As time passed, the hostel started feeling like a second home. There are days when I feel lonely and emotional, especially when I think about my family and wish I was at home. But my friends in the hostel make me feel better. During difficult moments, I remind myself why I am here: I am staying in the hostel for my studies and it’s important for my future; I just tell myself that this time will pass.
Apart from difficulties, hostel life also has good moments. I enjoy spending time with my friends. Many times we sit in each other’s room and talk for a long time at night. Being with them makes hostel life feel easier and less lonely. Overall, hostel life has many struggles, but it has also given me memories, friendships, and life lessons that I’ll always remember.
