1. Unlike popular belief hostel life is not unnerving. It makes you more receptive to needs of people around you and helps you communicate and adjust better.

2. The electric washing machine is a boon to mankind because washing soiled clothes with your hands is a major pain.

3. The food doesn’t come at your table nor is there the familiar coax of your mother to leave the computer and join for dinner. You need to move your ass to the dining hall and feel grateful for the food being served.

4. There will come a time when you are unable to sleep and your roomies are blissfully drifting to dream land. This is when you feel the necessity to let them sleep as you enjoy a book on the stairs with a cool breeze for company. It doesn’t work though. You might end up scaring a poor soul near the water cooler thanks to your white shirt and long hair.True story.

5. Love it or hate it but here is no escape from Maggi noodles.

6. Everybody eventually gets a nickname.

7. You are truly grateful to the floor cleaner for making sure you don’t lead a pig’s life.Cleaning is a big deal because there is always stuff lying around all the time.

8. Sleep is directly proportional to the assignments you have to submit. It’s either 11 before a test or 4 in the morning before a holiday. There is no clear sleep cycle.

9. In a hostel, exam nerves spread fast. Really fast.

10. In case you are in a girls’ hostel, every room has atleast half a dozen pairs of shoes.
