While I started writing about my life in LSE hostel, the first thing that came to my mind was “Everyone is going to think this post is about work, friends, relationships, assignments, exams, studies and a tough life so no one might bother scrolling down and reading my post”.
However, this could not demotivate me from writing about another life in LSE which most of the students are not aware of and I wanted my words to make them experience the beauty I have seen in this bachelor’s life apart from the usual boring studious life. Living in a room with four roommates seemed tough to me because of the different routines everyone has, different life styles and different conversation mode.
This became even tougher when my elder sister left the hostel and I felt myself in a chaos where I was alone, not cared enough anymore and didn’t have much to have fun except my books and laptop with some good TV series. But life is more than watching TV series and reading books and I realized this when I started mingling with people in my hostel.
It would not be wrong to say that shopping with friends never becomes boring even if you go to the same place every day just like I never feel LSE’s liberty shopping trip on Wednesday and Saturdays monotonous or boring instead I find new things every time from eating gol gappay to window shopping and buying random groceries.
The story will be half told if I don’t mention the beautiful people I am blessed with who have once been strangers but now they are more than a family to me.
On every birthday, the celebrations we do, surprises we plan in hostel with limited facilities yet every effort to make the birthday girl feel special, telling stories and laughing about friends, sharing the family problems it feels like we all share our families, we share our lives and share the truths we live with. Somewhere somehow the night at LSE never completes without going out on the roads we run to catch our classes every day.
But after 6pm, those roads are no more the same; they are calm, so calm that one can hear the noise of birds, cats and even leaves falling apart from trees and the cool breeze which freshens the breath after a day full of assignments and studies.
These few moments after 6pm take me back in the thought of whom I am, what am I doing and why am I doing this and makes me prepared for a challenge every day be it academic or personal or anything. To me, LSE is not just a place to study, it is something more, is a place of peace, a get together with my young family, a celebration every night with my room-mates and a life in which we figure out a way to be happy no matter how tough things get, to me LSE after 6pm is a time worth seeing.
Amazing ❤ it is something more, is a place of peace ❤ 🙂

Very well said !! I could relate this post to my life at LSE hostel !! While being busy rushing here and there during the day we neevr noticed that the place can be beautiful ehich i found out when i used to go out on walk aft 10pm or 11pm and eevrything used to be so quiet and beautiful especially the lights coming from besides beautiful trees and that silence always used to make me feel different about LSE and while people used to think its just a place to be at during the day, i felt falling in love with LSE at night !! thanks for bringing me back to my beautiful memories of my hostellites , roomies, those crazy shopping trips, issues and eevrything ❤

Its really positive and motivating for a person like me who does not have a good experience of university life, and who does not gets along with people easily. There is one part in this post which just hit my nerve and moved me, i.e. “But life is more than watching TV series and reading books”.

I along with my classmates once got a chance to stay at Lse after six. It was a tough request to the teacher but we eventually got it approved from the management to conplete our Visual Communication project at the Garden Cafe. We stayed in Lse till 5 in the morning. It was one of the best experiences at Lse so far. It was absolutely calm and relaxing there.
In the end we didn’t want to leave but we had to because the work was completed and in the morning it was our presentations time.
I still want to be there in the evening but I knw I will not be allowed.

Times like these I wish I was in a hostel. 😛
Hostels really bring you into contact with so many different types of people and not just in a classroom or school type of way, you’re with them all day and everyone’s true colours come out. You see people at their best and worst, you might even slowly understand them on a level even their family can’t.
I’m glad you’re living it up.

-LSE sure grows on you. There’s no place better than this and after 6 LSE’s just a beauty. I really wish LSE had night classes so that all the students could have some kind of night life here. It’s just great. And about the hostels and hostel life; I’m lucky to be a part of it. 🙂
