Hostel Life VS the Life of a Day Scholar

Hloo guys, it's Safa here and today we had a heated debate on the topic "Life of  Hostellers VS Day Scholars "

In today's debate, the conversation kicked off with Shobana highlighting the perks of learning from parents and observing life’s struggles as a day scholar. But the hostellers had a solid comeback, arguing that it’s time to step out of the comfort zone, face life head-on, and grow independently. Pragalya brought up the cost factor of living in a hostel, but Harish quickly countered with the idea of part-time jobs reducing the financial strain on parents.


Siva emphasized the responsibilities of taking care of parents as a day scholar, while Gladys argued that hostel life equips students to be better caretakers in the future. Nitish believed that day scholars stay focused, ethical, and responsible, but Millan pointed out that hostellers learn to be even more responsible by adapting to challenges like adjusting to hostel food. When Shobana mentioned the poor quality of hostel food affecting health, Pooja countered that they have the option to cook, so it’s not a big issue.


The debate heated up when Nitish suggested that day scholars are like puppets with strings attached, more connected to their families. But Ann argued that with today’s tech, even long-distance relationships can be as strong, thanks to social media and unlimited calls. Shweta noted that hostellers might not share everything with their parents, while Dency pointed out that day scholars often have just a surface-level “hi and bye” relationship with their parents. The hostellers cherish their time with family during short vacations, making those moments even more memorable.


Siva argued that day scholars gain emotional stability from their parents, but Dhivya questioned how long one needs such stability, emphasizing the importance of becoming mentally strong. Pragalya felt day scholars are less distracted, sticking to their values, but others pointed out that distractions are everywhere and it’s all about self-control.


Rency posed a hypothetical question about whether students would still choose hostel life if MCC were in their hometown. The answer was clear: it’s a matter of personal choice. Some prefer hostel life for the bonds formed with seniors and juniors, the cherished memories, and the life lessons learned. Siva raised concerns about depression and suicides being more common in hostels, but a girl countered that she felt happier and more liberated after leaving her protective bubble.


In the end, it’s not about whether hostel life or day scholar life is superior. It’s about how we live by our principles and make the most of our circumstances. Yes, hostel life teaches us to adapt, adjust, and embrace different perspectives. It’s all about the choices we make—the roads we take and the routes we avoid. Our life is in our hands, and it's up to us to carve out a rewarding journey.

STEPS TO OVERCOME DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND STRESS

 Hey  readers! Hope you are doing great and  you would be eager to read my next blog after a long time . Before, I explore about the topic, I would like to bring to limelight a small poem as an introduction for my topic.  Can’t you hear my silent screams? They are so loud that they echo in my dream. Behind the face that carries a smile, Lies a dark road that goes on mile after mile. My silent screams have been going on for years, But it always falls on so many deaf ears. How can they hear that silent screams in their mind? They can’t hear my thoughts if I keep telling that I am fine. What can I tell them?  These silent screams carry no words. It’s just feeling of sadness and darkness that come in its herds, How can I explain so people understand this? It’s like walking around a suffocating black mist. I can’t explain how this feels, it’s so extreme, So, I hold my mouth shut to cover my silent screams. After reading this, I hope that you would have presumed it’s ...

 Hey readers! Hope you are doing great...I am Safa, to elucidate about yet another age-old question, "Women Equality a Myth or a Reality?"  Revered readers, what do you presume it to be a myth or a reality? I would like you to just ponder upon this topic and kindly peruse it.  First, let me bring to limelight, what do you think about the equality of women during the Vedic Period? You may  feel perplexed but the answer is, women during the Vedic Period enjoyed equal and ecstatic status with men in all aspects of life. Works by ancient Indian grammarians such as Patanjali and Katyayana suggest that, women were educated in early vedic period. Women possessed zestful power and personalities .
