i guess when you receive this mail you will be in your college.
College is a fun place to be. Few fortunate people get to experience this life style. That too in a foreign place. No wonder you will face new challenges. Many unfortunate people don't manage to accommodate into the new environment.
At first it might be difficult, but know that nothing will remain the same. Nothing is permanent but change. This is a relief when we think of bad times but what of good times?? That too will not remain for long, dear. So just try having fun what ever comes your way. There is nothing called permanent, unless one makes it so.
After having spent some years in the college I come to realise that one must have fun in what ever one does. Everyone will never get to do what he/she likes. Perhaps this is something discouraging but it is to explore a new you, perhaps what you think you wanted to do would not have been as much interesting as what you r doing. Just Let The "Perhaps" Play a Role when something goes as not desired.
But you can be sure that there are abundant of possibilities reserved for you in future. What youlive in is present. It was a future sometime before. And out of millions of opportunities you chose the one that lead you to present. My hearties congratulations for this. This Present is lived up to and defined by what ever one had done in past - thing as trifle each breath has contributed to it. And so will be the future. What one that must indulge in is "now" not "later" or "before". By the way my personal view on "thinking of future" is it just makes you Old. But of course one be good at it if you are to plan out your work.
One thing I would really like to share is about luck and people - "Luck improves with the number of people you know". Of course must have good relations too. I know this on the basis of my personal experience. Be kind and gentle with people, for they are not things. You will also find some with whom you can't get along too, just be good, and not hate. Hatred is a very heavy feeling and it really drowns your heart. Well do act cunning with foxes though. So do mingling arround.
Finally keep your mind open and try to be the guy you always wanted to be.
Have fun filled experience
lots of love and regards
