Pros and Cons

          After finishing 3 grueling semesters of my masters, I have got a chance to work in United States. I successfully finishes 3 weeks. I am doing everything I love and loving everything I am doing. Basically life is great and I am doing pretty well too. But I will finish my masters in 6 months and I will officially enter the "officials" club and retire from "students" club and I most definitely want to be done and dusted with studies.  

          Unlike the changes from high school to college there are tons, very different and drastic changes from student to work life. In school and college, the only senior member in your class will be your professor. But at work, initially you will feel that only you are the one with least knowledge of anything and everything. But then eventually the feeling vanishes as you get more acquainted with work. Also this transition gets a tiny bit more difficult if you don't have any person to match your wavelength with. For example if you are the only girl in your team. I mentioned 'tiny bit more difficult' because I have an excellent team with me who really made me feel at home. 

Since I am still in the transition from the student life to corporate life, I thought I will tabulate them and here is my table: 

Student life	Corporate life
Day begins when you wake up	You have to wake up when the day begins
Learn new stuff	Learn new stuff and work on it
Saving is crucial	You can worry a little less about that
You can entertain yourself by browsing Internet when you are bored of studies	You cannot entertain yourself at all
You can bunk classes	Should I still say what happens here?
You can get over your hardest subject in 15 weeks	Every project, easy or difficult, lasts till you solve it
You struggle to make time to watch your favorite TV show	TV show? You won't even have time to look at TV during the week
Want break from studies? Have dinner or take a nap	Dinner and nap are not what you do in your break
You don't have to worry about what you wear to school	Your morning starts with, "don't I have decent work clothes?"
You can watch a movie any day of the week	You keep it for the weekend because you want to get your 8-hours sleep everyday
There is lunch cool about saying "you are at school'	You can say "I was in a meeting" or "we are going out for a team lunch" etc.

          You may feel that I have lot of cons on the right side and jump to the conclusion that your student life was the best. But trust me, you pay cheque makes it all worth. We all come to a stage where we have to accept responsibilities and execute them, we all grow old. You can’t stop that but you can always celebrate what you have and work on becoming what you want to.

Please let me know what you feel is the best and worst part of student and corporate lives and I will make sure to add them in my table.
