With great enthusiasm, we gallivant, perhaps, not entirely aimlessly, but directed by the pleasure we gain from it.We are new to the environment after all.
We meet people, new people; fellows out of which great friends are eventually made. Sons and daughters of men destined to touch our lives one way or another; and perhaps, to be our significant other.
There are ups and downs, some moments to live for, others to forget.
We go through times of pain, anger and frustration. We get broke, fall ill, and even fall apart. But we never give up. We share moments of joy and laughter that are indescribable; moments that play a big role in shaping our memories, our lives.
After all, that is what we are here for.
The system gives us four dozen months (in some cases, five or more) to learn to become experts in the line of career we have chosen for ourselves. In a word, we have four years to shape our destinies, or so we were made to believe.
As members of our new environment, we have conventional sets of rituals we are to conform with. It is a major requirement in being a successful member of this unfamiliar place.
We sit, or stand, in vastly congested chambers housed by dilapidated structures, listening to older versions of ourselves. They were just in our shoes scores of months before, trying to find purpose for their own lives.
