It's the end of another academic year and the start of the farewell season. Farewell parties where juniors perform or organize a get together has become old fashioned. Youngsters these days are thinking out of the box to give their beloved seniors a memorable send off! They are coming up with unique ways to share and express your love — Be it Facebook posts, YouTube videos, the Gen-X believes in speaking out loud!
These seniors who ragged them, helped them with notes and assignments, gave them survival tips, helped them in organizing college tests, competitions, etc. Are more than just strangers who live in the college along with them. They’ve become very good friends. To break the ritual, new trends are being created. To bid the journey through college goodbye in a different style.
Sravani, a Mass Comm student says “When you first enter college, you know nobody. But as time passes, you share many endeavors and adventures that you become a family. Three years pass in a daze. The day you leave all you can see is how familiar these strangers become to you. Our last day of college, was so much fun, so emotional and memorable. We closed the doors of our soundproof lab and danced our guts out to ear throbbing music. Our juniors organized it for us and we were thrilled!”
“Our college management is usually against farewell parties but when we were asked to make a farewell documentary, we were more than happy. ‘Senior Sayonara’ is a dedication with a difference, for our seniors . It isn’t exactly a documentary its a film that depicts their memories, right from the beginning. It was a priceless feeling when a few seniors would come up to us and tell us that the documentary touched their hearts.” says E.A. Abhishek, a student of Loyola Academy, Old Alwal. He along with his friends Nitin Lawrence, Kedar Patwary, Omar Roy, Sanya Quadri, Keerthana Muralidhar, Ranjana Singh Rathore, Srivanth Kumar, Harshit Joseph and Srivanth Kumar, shot the film and made it a huge success.
An engineering third year student, Anshul says, “ Our seniors inspire us. They show us how to be responsible and show us how to get things done. When you first enter college, clueless of whatever is happening around, they guide you. To top it all they provide you with healthy competition that will make you better. We are planning to organize a surprise party for our seniors and show them how special they are for us.”
“College is nearing its end. Another year just flew by. We made hundreds of memories. It's now the end of the roller coaster ride. It all comes back as deja-vu. And if someday in life, somebody from the crowd just pops up and gives you a hug, you just know it will be one of these guys. We become their part time siblings in their journey through college and its feels wonderful that they give you special attention. We haven’t left yet and there are messages, dedications and love showering from juniors all over Facebook. They created a separate group online that tells you how much they’ll miss you. It feels great.” Johnson Nishant, a B Com final year student says.
Colleges have traditional themes. The St Frances college had a Halloween themed party. Some have prom themed parties, some have an awards night, So this farewell season what other way would be better to say Adios Amigos than say it ‘hatke.’
