How I passed My Seventh Semester in Seven Days

Info

        All of a sudden my class group on hike exploded with the news of our seventh semester results.I did not go through all the messages but i did saw one sad emoticon after my name.I did not understand it.May be it was about my result of the seventh semester.I couldn't take the suspense anymore. As all the things which i did that semester were hitting me back again and again.It's not that i have done anything bad but i don't remember doing any good .Passing the sixth semester with an above average percentage gave me an hope to secure a job in the campus placements.In order to fullfill my dreams getting a job was really important.I had to concentrate most of the seventh semester on my placements and other academic stuff like projects, interships,Labs etc.But According to a study, a person can think around 68 thousands thoughts in a single day and placements got rarely placed in my mind.It was a huge chaos like the most complex oscillator circuits.It was tougher than i have expected and It is only at the toughest times we make a real effort to do something productive.I studied for around three days, 2 to 3 hours each day and the rest i spent for things other than academic activities. Just before a few days from the arrival of the first company.I really tried to know every possible hack required to crack the company tests.

     I prepared myself mentally to accept any possible outcome.But not even once i thought of giving up.I always had that eye of a tiger spirit in me.Though i knew i could have prepared a lot better, i took a deep breath gathered all my senses and said to myself that "no matter what ,after today, i will have no regrets for what i could not do".I reached my college before sun rise and did not even imagine that i had to stay till the next sunrise.To everyone's surprise that company took a huge leap of faith in us and made a record breaking recruitment of candidates in a single day.I was fortunately one among them.I still remember that night it was so dramatic like in the movies.Everyone wore a smile on their face with tears in their eyes at the same time.I did not understand how to react to such a huge moment in my life.I prefered to remain stoic.It took some time for others to sink in.I remember reaching home at 4 in the morning.My parents congratulated me and i made my way towards the bed immediaetly.

   My parents played a key role in my success.Without their support and encouragement this would have not been possible.I took some time to thank all my friends and well wishers. Later, i had to quickly move on to my internship and project reports.It was a hectic job.But somehow i managed to pull that off.Thanks to my team ,which was no lesser than the team of avengers except, there were two black widows in it.

   At last,semester exams spread the fragnance of fear all over the place.There were only 7days left for the exams to begin and frankly i had no clue about my subjects.The first day, i spent by collecting the material from various sources.Later,I separated the materials of all the subjects on the second day and  made up this plan that i would study three subjects in three days and the remaining two days for the first exam of the semester.However, i could only manage the latter part of my plan.Those three days i hardly read a single subject.I did not knew that those three days could have such an imapact on my life later.

    She was an old friend.We liked each other very much.We enjoyed our conversations a lot.Most importantly we loved to share our feelings with one another.I wanted to tell her that i had a crush on her.One night she was worried about some problem at home.When asked, she did not answer.As she was upset,i did not want to trouble her.Next day, she told me something that i could never forget.Her father was in the cinema field.He was a good producer who made few reasonably good movies.His recent movie faced a terrible loss and the entire family became poor overnight.In order to provide shelter for his family he made a deal with a business tycoon.The deal was that the producer's daughter must agree to marry the businessman's son then only the producer would get financial help from him.

    I was completely lost.I was speechless.Life is so uncertain.After hearing such a heart throbbing story i never said what i wanted to.Not a single word uttered by me.She said that my success in life would really make her happy and asked me not to think much about her anymore.I thought to wish all well for her future but i really could not say it. A day Later,on her wedding day, i texted her and said all except that one thing.

    That one thing i would never forget.With all this happening prior to my exams i stood strong again. All i ever wanted was to see her happy and it is only possible if i work harder and be sucessfull in life.And the seventh semester brought me that exact oppurtunity to prove myself.I did all I could.Now it's time for me to see my result and unfold the mystery of that smiley after my name.I saw my result and was partly in tears.I have not only passed in all subjects but to my surprise that was my best academic performance in four years and Hence, that smiley was used in the context of happy tears.But my tears were not.In the end, my mind pretended to be happy but my heart drowned in a sea of grief.
