🎓 My Christ University Journey Looking back at my three years at Christ University (2022–2025), I can proudly say it was one of the most remarkable chapters of my life. Those years didn’t just give me a degree they shaped me, challenged me and prepared me for the world beyond academics. The Beginning: A Year of Adjustment The first year was a mix of excitement and struggle. Moving alone to a new city and adapting to the Christ culture wasn’t easy. Managing CIA submissions, assignments and maintaining the mandatory 85% attendance felt overwhelming at first. Making new friends took time, but slowly, the right people came along and they made all the difference. They turned my ordinary days into unforgettable memories. The Second Year: Growth, Balance & Joy By the second year, everything began to fall into place. I started understanding how to balance studies, submissions, and fun. No matter what, we all made sure to be in class by 9 AM sharp, ready to face the day. Exploring Bangalore city became part of our routine from unpredictable weather to endless auto rides on weekends, every experience taught me something new about independence and adaptability. That year also flew by fast, and I had the privilege of being the Class Representative (CR) for two semesters a role that helped me develop leadership, communication and coordination skills. The Final Year: Specialization & Self Discovery The third year felt special in every way. I specialized in Entrepreneurship Development (ED) a subject that resonated with my passion for business and innovation. The class was filled with familiar faces, supportive faculty and an environment that encouraged learning through real world application.One of the most unforgettable experiences was working on my final year project were I was focused on expanding my textile retail business. I had the opportunity to attend a pitch my idea, interact with industry experts and my supplier (who later mentored me) and gain practical industry insights. Presenting my 45 minute pitch deck in front of industry experts and professors was challenging but deeply rewarding especially when I received positive feedback for my effort and hardwork  The Farewell: A Bittersweet Goodbye As the final exams approached, it hit me that this journey was coming to an end. The farewell day was filled with emotions laughter, nostalgia and a few tears. We realized that the classrooms, assignments, and last minute runs to submit CIAs were all moments we will deeply miss.My last exam was on April 9, 2025 and graduation followed soon after on May 31, 2025. Standing there in the convocation hall, dressed in the graduation robe, felt like an achievement a moment of pride for me and my friends and especially with my dad there beside me. As I walked out that day, it truly felt like the end of a beautiful era no more attendance worries, presentations or mid sems just memories of friendship, learning and growth. The song “En Frienda Pola Yaru Machan” from Nanban echoed in my mind reminding me that friendships like these are once in a lifetime. ❤️ In Conclusion My time at Christ University was more than academics, it was a journey of personal transformation, from being a nervous first year student to becoming a confident graduate, every moment added a layer to who I am today a Business Management graduate and Digital Marketing Strategist ready to take on the world with creativity, resilience and purpose.
