In our short life, there are some events, some days which cannot be forgotten. My first day at college is such a day. It is, in fact, an unforgettable day in my life. The memory of my first day at college will remain vivid throughout my whole life.
I was a student of Dhaka College which is one of the best colleges in our country. The thrill of pleasure which I felt on entering through the gate of my college on the first day beggared description. I went to the notice board and took the class routine. Then I went to the classroom and took a seat on the last bench. The class was full of students. All the faces were unknown. I eagerly waited for the first class to start.
The bell rang. In silent excitement we waited for the first professor to address us. It was our English class. After about a minute, a good looking young man came with a register and a textbook. He called our rolls and marked us present. Then he started his lecture. He spoke in English. He explained the importance of English language and very nicely made us understand the fact. I also attended two other classes on that day. I found that in a college a single teacher teaches a single subject on which he or she is specialized.
Then I went to the common room and found that many boys were reading newspapers and magazines. There were also carom boards, chess-boards and ping pong tables for healthy recreation. On that day I also entered the college library and saw many books.
My first day's experience made me feel that I was no longer a school boy. Still I remember my first day at college. It was really a day of observing and experiencing new things.
