Finally crawling out of the 2 month long textbook
filled oven a.k.a the dreaded 12th Board exams, the high school (or
Junior College) veterans are ready to begin a new journey of you-thought-you’d-bunk-lectures-all-the-time-until-you-encountered-minimum-attendance-required.
But don’t worry, college will be every bit as exciting as you hope, if you take
part in all the right things (hint: Kaleidoscope). The annual inter-collegiate
fest takes the cake and every other type of dessert when it comes to having the
time of your life. So, to the young ladies entering the Sophia College campus
this year, here is why you should join the Workforce, the organizers of one of
the largest college festivals in Mumbai.
1) Instant
Friends
With
22 different teams in the Workforce, you are bound to find a way to use your
talents in the best way possible and find some of your closest friends in the
process. No seriously, your team’s members will serve as your on-campus family
before you know it.
2) Boom Snap
Clap!
Don’t
let this K’scope cheer make you regret not being a part of the Workforce as it
echoes throughout campus giving you goose bumps and an adrenaline rush. And
don’t pretend like you don’t practice it secretly at home.
3) Gain
Experience
No
matter what team you are in, you will inevitable develop crucial life skills
like time management, crisis aversion and how to dress for comfort while still
looking reasonably professional.
4) Food
Coupons
This
one doesn’t even need any explanation. All the days where you skipped meals
because you had too much work will be redeemed, and redeemed well.
5) The Den
Easy
access to what is the coolest room on campus, which will also serve as your
second home for a few weeks preceding the festival. Fond memories will be made
and the place will give you intense feels every time you walk past it
afterwards. Walk up in the Den like what up I got a sponsor!
6) The Best Seats
for Every Event
Flagship
events like Das Ka Tees and Electrocuted take place in the Sophia Bhabha Hall,
notorious for filling up too fast. That is, unless you’re a coordinator. Because
guess who has seats reserved for them right at the front where they can watch
everything up close? The same applies to seats for the After 8 event, which is
exactly what it sounds like.
7) Walkie-Talkies
This is practically one of your biggest childhood fantasies come true. Sure, you have cell phones and WhatsApp and text messaging, but nothing compares to the feel of saying ‘over and out’ into a walkie-talkie.

8) T-shirts
A
big part of being Indian is getting way more excited about any free stuff than
is appropriate, no matter how trivial it is. Not only do these bad boys
distinguish give you authority, you have one more piece of clothing to wear
until it becomes the dirty rag that you use to wipe things clean.
So,
children, explore your talents, have loads of fun, and when you see an
opportunity, take it and go.
