Rendezvous with Life

I can't believe that it's been one year already since I came to the US...but I must say life here has definitely taught me how to become a survivor...I always used to tell my mom that studying in the US would teach me a lot in life and it surely did...

From cooking our own food, running around for assistantships, meeting new people, waiting to see the first snow fall of the season, shivering in the december cold, facing the tough competition, staying up all night to finish off assignments, reminiscing the wonderful times spent with family and friends back home, crying silently at nights, dealing with the disappointments, trying to sound cool whenever parents called, facing the tough challenges to juggling between work and studies, becoming a four pointer, getting an internship, having small tiffs with friends, bonding with roommates, longing for the spicy and yummy home-made food, trying out different cuisines, fighting the bedbugs, falling in love with the fall colors, watching lots of movies with friends to kill boredom, having occasional potlucks, learning how to be independent..whoa!! it surely has been a long journey...Looking back, I feel these are the moments that make life memorable...

Everybody faces challenges in life...but how you do it makes all the difference :)
