Survival of the fittest
You go to college, you make friends for life. Whatever you do, you do together. Play, Laugh, Study, Ramble, Bunk, Think, React. Everything is connected between you pals. Its a completely different feeling. And you get addicted to being together, being surrounded by people, always cheering, making fun, having a ball.
And then, later on in your life, when you sit alone in your room, with all the convenient things at your disposal, for which probably you would have struggled during the college days, do you feel happy? I bet no. You are so overpowered by a sinking feeling, nostalgia takes over you, and you start feeling that all this does not make much sense. A call from a friend, a distant gathering, a walk down the memory lane is enough to make you sad. All of a sudden you start questioning your life, your decisions, your present state, everything. And it becomes worse.
But, life takes it course. It shows you everything. The ups. The downs. The "happy" group hang-outs. The lonely days in a hotel lobby. It prepares you for everything. You have to be ready for change, which is a big thing for most human beings. Change. Different. Adaptability. Adjustment. Don't we so much want to avoid all of these? Don't we wish we could have the "perfect" life, with no changes? But, all this has a bigger picture I suppose. Life has a set path for us. It prepares us for any situation, and it believes in "teaching by doing" :) You would be thrown amidst a situation, and you got to learn. Adapt to Survive. Survival of the fittest. And the fittest is the one who takes all these changes with a smile. Who welcomes any situation, and takes every change as a learning, as a step towards his growth.
Its like going through a gamut of feelings, its like you don't know what to believe. Whether be positive, and confident about the change? Or regret it? It confuses you. Thats its job. But the one who moves on is the one who accepts changes fast. And makes the best out of it :)
PS: Hope I could do the same. Hope its for the best. Hope I survive :)

Seems you were in a particularly retrospective mood when you wrote this. We all go through confusions... Where am I headed, Is this what I want, Was that decision right, Could I have done anything differently?
Thing is, you're here and you are a lot closer to the things you want. The things you want... now, let's settle for happiness to top the list of the things. Are you happy? Your happiness is in your hands, and yes you are happy.
When you're a child you go to school, you grow up you work, get married... that's how the life cycle goes... all a part of the experience we are here on earth for. :)
All is good... And you will survive.. like you have.
Cheers.
