5 things I am enjoying and missing

I am student again and becoming a student again come with its fair share of advantages and disadvantages.

Five things that I am enjoying the most being a student again are:
1. Getting up late: for some one who had to get up regularly at 6 for the last 3 years, getting up late now is like a blessing. Sleeping late and getting up late is integral part of college life.
2. Bunking Classes:Now I don't need to ask anyone when I need a day off. I can bunk classes at my onw wish.
3. No responsibilities: No more projects, no more meetings, no more deadlines.
4. Vacations: Becoming a student again means summer, winter and Diwali vacations.
5. Student concession: Now I can ask any one for discount as a student.


Five things that I miss about not being employed:
1. Salary at the end of the month: A salary at the end of the month was a safety net which I miss a lot. Now I have to think twice before I spend every rupee.
2. Friends at work: I miss my friends and colleagues the most. They made my 3 years memorable.
3. Travelling: My work gave me the opportunity to travel four different countries.
4. Allowances: Going home has become difficult as I don't get any travel allowance now. Miss the Diwali and dussera bonuses, they rescued every time I was in need of cash.
