                  Life is a beautiful gift given by God. How we use it depends on us. How we live it depends on us. Life is not about destiny it is about the journey. This journey has so much to teach us. We experience both good and bad. How we take it and understand it depend on us. Normally a life is all about being born, growing, being interactive with people, making friends, have a family, having a job, growing old, making so many memories and then when the time comes you dye. Basically, a life of interactions, giving and sharing love and happiness to each other.

                One of the most important part of our life is school and college life. We meet new people, have interactions, do a lot of fun. Especially, at college we have a lot of classes, events, competitions which are the most important part of our life where we get so many recognitions. Where you may get to meet your best friend, who will there with you your whole life, a family. Now, with this pandemic scenario this way of life seems to be going away from us. This COVID-19 scenario which has become a part of our life. Where, you don’t get to meet your friends, your family, your loved one. Life has become hard. Colleges are closed. Everybody has their life stuck at their home.

                But we humans are extraordinary, we don’t stop. We adjust, no matter what the situation is our life. Now, we live in this digital world. We have accepted this way of life to maintain distance and be digitally close.

                With this comes a college named UNIVERSAL BUSSINESS SCHOOL. A most prestigious college of recent times. The college where I got admission. The greatest decision I ever made. The college that completely changed my college life experience. UBS makes the best use of the digital world which no other colleges is able to provide. Since the day I joined here there not even a single feel of been missed out. Though I was a late admission UBS made sure that I cope up with other students. Experience is extraordinary. Faculties are so interactive that you don’t feel like you are been left out. All the classes are done through zoom app. Even if anyone misses their classes, they have the opportunity to see the recorded sessions of the class. Teachers are extraordinary. Every detail of the subject is covered. Every doubt of individual student is clarified. That’s how student oriented our professors are. They give their valuable time and efforts to make a difference in our life. Every issue is taken care of. Now, when it comes to being a part of club, we have the opportunity to give interviews for all the clubs. We have been given the liberty to choose any club as we want if got selected in multiple clubs. That’s how liberal our college is. 

                 I became the part of Rotaract Club. A club that focuses on social work and self-development. I am so grateful to be part of. UBS is not only about studies but also about entertainment. Since, it is a pandemic situation our college made sure we don’t get bored at home and we get maximum college life experience. So, they came up with an event called Virtual Lounge, where students get to show case their talents and interact with everyone virtually. I am so grateful for this I got to showcase my talent in front of so may people. I played Guitar and shared some my Poetries which I never thought I will be able to show but I did. A small dream that got fulfilled. With that I got to see so many others talents. We interacted, had lots of talks and fun. UBS gave us this platform to connect with everyone. 

                   Now when it comes to management, there was an event called Mini-Case Blazer. We have to give presentation on a topic. There were many teams. I was a team leader of my team. One of the greatest role I ever got, to manage a team. I had a great experience on that. I had wonderful teammates who respected my decision and agreed to what I said. We worked hard and made sure we present a great presentation as required and fulfill all the criteria’s required. We were appreciated and all my teammates were happy. Even if we don’t win, we won in our hearts. I was proud of my team and myself as well. A small leadership but a small dream fulfilled again. Thanks to UBS again. 

                    There was a competition of Arts and Culture, where I made a portrait. Though I did not win but I got appreciations for which I am grateful for. Now coming to my club Rotaract. The best decision to join this club. Seniors are so great and wonderful that there is no match to them. The hard work they do is amazing. There is so much to learn. The way they organize the events is commendable. We organize many kinds of events which you cannot think of. They sometimes organize events related to life which might change your way of thinking. It’s a new club recently got chattered but, our seniors have made sure it is not behind any club. Now slowly we are learning from them and surely one day we will step into their shoes and take care of our club and we will make sure to take it to much higher level. Now coming to campus, UBS has a wonderful infrastructure. The first Green Business School in India. One of the most beautiful looking college in the midst of nature.

               Though we never entered the campus, UBS made sure to show what it is best at, “To Manage”. It surely showed us how to manage in any situation. Thus, UBS provided us with the facilities and made sure we are growing no matter what the situation. Love and Respect for UBS keeps on growing as the day passes. Eagerly waiting when the college will open and get a chance to live in this paradise we have been waiting for. A dream world. A dream life. A longing.
