Not very many people inform you that the student life is like struggling between two personalities; the person you were and the one you are still in the making. You experience every day that weird combination of vigor and void inside you. Sometimes, you are fully ready for anything; on other days, you are looking at the ceiling and asking yourself if you are living life the wrong way. University life is not the movie-like dream you have always pictured. It is not only fun, love, and quick success. It is long nights with the academic materials you cannot make out, silent laughter over tea, and little falls in the middle of the people with whom you pretend to share “just tired eyes.” It is maturing quietly, painfully, and beautifully, one incomplete task and unexpected smile at a time. You will see people arriving and departing. You will part ways with friends that you thought would be there for a lifetime, but then again, you would meet newcomers who seem to get you better than anyone else did. You will shed pro habits, fears, and identities that once felt fixed.

Amidst all that, the giggles, the misunderstandings, the weariness you will transform. Not forcefully, dramatically, but gently. Gradually. Like dawn after a long night. You would come to a point when you acknowledge that it was not all about marks or internships. It was all about transforming, getting to live in doubt and still deciding to be present. Because that is the way to perceive growth.

Silent. Unsteady. But genuine.

Life at IILM Through My Caffeinated Lens

Sometimes I think being a student at IILM is like living inside one of those indie movies where nothing really happens but everything feels like it does. Like, you’ll be running late for class, juggling cold coffee and an assignment you swore you emailed, when the universe decides, NOPE, the WiFi in the entire block goes down. Tragic main character energy.

Teenage life here is basically:

laughing too loud in the canteen because someone mispronounced "entrepreneurship"

surviving on Coffee like it’s a religion

pretending group projects are "collaborative" when it's really one person doing all the work (bless that one person, may the academic gods protect them)

and trying to look intellectual while secretly scrolling memes during lectures.

Through my lens, IILM is not just a university, it’s a chaotic mixtape of teenage survival tactics. You learn that caffeine is a food group, deadlines have a personality, and friends become therapists you pay in wafers and bad jokes.

It’s stupid, exhausting, hilarious. And honestly? That’s the poetry of it.

You are made of stardust — literally.

Every atom of iron in your blood, every bit of calcium in your bones, every spark of oxygen in your lungs was born in the heart of an exploding star.

Think about it: billions of years ago, a star lived, burned, and collapsed… just so your cells could one day assemble into you.

When I was in a molecular biology lecture at IILM, my professor said:

“You’re not just alive, you’re the universe learning how to study itself.”

And suddenly, everything felt both infinite and intimate.

Science isn’t cold; it’s the most romantic thing we have. Because when you look up at the night sky, you’re not just seeing stars; You’re seeing your family tree.

How Student Communities Help Freshers Adapt to College Life?

College entrance combines euphoria with extreme mental stress. The transition from high school to college creates three primary difficulties for freshers regarding environmental adjustment and academic workload management and social connection building. A learner community promotes an effortless transition through their vital role.

Student communities create three essential functions by giving freshers access to peer support systems along with mentoring programs and networking possibilities that enable them to handle college challenges. Student interest groups unite members with common backgrounds who assist new students with academic information and future skills development.

These student communities dedicate themselves to both academic learning and extracurricular engagement as well as caretaking for mental health. Participating in clubs and community events allows freshers to find compatible peers and establish friends while developing leadership competencies. Students who select appropriate communities among academic clubs sports teams and cultural organizations gain professional growth together with personal growth.

Student networking depends heavily on the availability of online platforms as networking tools. Most universities operate social media groups along with online discussion platforms to allow freshers to obtain help and support from older students.

The involvement in student communities helps students develop confidence as well as teamwork and adaptability skills necessary for their college success. Freshers need to join various college groups to maximise their educational experience.
