International Talkies

My experience for this semester was quite different from what I expected. In a good way of course. I didn't know anything about how Christ University functioned, and yes I knew we would be busy but I also assumed that we would have enough time , like our other colleges to spend on other social things. But this was one thing that kept me so happy , that throughout this semester , we were kept on our toes and did not have time to even think. Which was good because it made us realize the meaning of time management and how to balance out things. Its not that I did not have fun, and yes there were times as to why there's so much work. But at the end, it was all worth it.I know how much this is going to help us in future and it was such an experience .I honestly can't wait for what's more in store for the next three semesters.

We are back again with another issue of Beyond the Borders.

Wishing  you a happy and enriching reading
