HOSTEL LIFE vs DAYSCIs’ LIFE

How is the hostel life different from a day scholar’s life? Any daysci would say it’s not that different and that they have as much fun as the hostellers have, while the hostellers would beg to differ. Let us see what the truth is. I asked one of my friends who is a daysci to detail his day on both a weekday and a weekend. And I have compared it with an average hosteller’s day. Here it goes:

p.s. the hostel mentioned here is the F hostel of NIT Calicut.

WEEKDAY (consider a Monday of s8 semester)

DAYSCI

HOSTEL MATE

7 am

Getting up

Sleeping

7.30 am

Getting ready

Sleeping

8.00 am

Reached college

Getting up

8.10 am

In class

Reached college

10.15 – 11.15 ( free hour)

Library, computer centre etc

Sleeping in hostel, coffee shop, canteen etc for breakfast

12.15 am

Lunch in canteen

Lunch in mess

Afternoon

Going to hostel rooms of friends/ going back home

Its DOTA* time/ movie time/sleep time/net surfing time in hostel

Evening

Said something about doing projects and all in labs but I really didn’t understand it

Badminton/ fours (a type of football with just 4 players)/ chit chatting with girls till 7/ chitchatting with boys (all boys aren’t fortunate/unfortunate to have girl friends.

7 pm

Going home, studying, watching TV etc

Dinner time in mess

After 7

Having dinner, again studying (seriously can’t think of anything else that can be done)

The real fun time, movie watching, lan surfing, computer gaming, talking on everything under the sun and sometimes about things over it.

11 pm

Sleep time J goodnight!!

Most active phase of the hostel. Going to MC (mini canteen), drinks time for those who desire it etc.

WEEKEND (nearing the end of semester; pretty easy to make for a hostel nivasi)

DAYSCI

HOSTEL MATE

8 am

Getting up

Sleeping

Morning time till about 11 am

Doing misc house work

Sleeping

12 noon

Lunch

Getting up, brunch time

Afternoon

Doing some work, god knows what

Lazing around, what work is being done will ultimately end in an afternoon siesta

Evening

--------I don’t know--------

Recovering from the afternoon nap, takes time till dinner time

Night

-----Same as weekdays-------

-----Same as weekdays-----

I guess this gives a rough estimation of what all dayscis are missing. The first daysci reacted by saying that all we do is sleep. Well, sleep in the morning is in compensation for the time we were awake in the night. The average sleeping time is nearly at 2 am. This can extend to up to 4am. But I am not sure if this is a correct representation of all the dayscis. Any daysci who begs to differ are free to comment and correct me.

Feeling very hard to adjust with the change in environment at home..... nw cant distinguish btwn day and night.... either its 24hrs of day or 16-24 hrs of night ;)

Hari Vishnu said...

true man, very true.. dayscis are missing out on a lot.. hostel life is wat was coolest abt college.. and if ur comparison is right, non-hostelers dont have a colleg life man!

and @ viajero..

yea man same thing here.. im even finsing it hard to adjust with my folks sometimes.. used to hanging aroung with a bunch if guys always:-0..

The Third Twin said...

Awesome work dude! ya day sci guys miss out on a lot of stuff but then they have their reasons, everybody has!.. few accept it,, few deny it blatantly.. anyways good work! shows u are jobless and missing ur DOTA ventures along with kimbu and hari :)..
@viajero
true man! worse actually.. i dunno which day of the week it is !

nautillus said...
