I did a Masters Degree in Microbiology at Madras University (SRM college) in India, a Masters Degree in Food Science and Tech. at RMIT University (Melbourne, Australia) and a Masters Degree in Biotechnology at Latrobe Uni (Melbourne again). Currently, I have a comfy job as a senior lecturer in India. Occasionally, I visit Australia (Once a year) to keep in touch with my research buddies.
I did go for a PhD in Biotech after finishing my Food Science and Tech Masters Degree, but due to lack of guidance and the tedious nature of the project, I dropped out. Decided to aim a bit lower, and ended up doing a Masters in Biotechnology.
College life was fantastic. Until Bachelors' Degree, I was into Sports (Soccer, Cricket). But once studies started taking their toll, I had to quit sports and become serious. Still, I was never a nerd and had/have lots of friends. Often cut classes (never saw the point of attending lectures anyway), went to movies, metal concerts, etc.
My fav memories - Winning scholarships in Melbourne and presenting a great seminar on Selenium analysis of Foods, Our microbiology class renting a bus and going on a roadtrip for 5 days to celebrate graduation, my friends often getting boozed out and me (the straight edge guy) driving them like a bunch of corpses back home even though I lacked a driver's licence (never got caught!).
Relationships - Well, most girls called me 'cute', 'smart' and 'neither too ugly nor super-hot' (in their words), so I guess I was/am average. But I never had a sustained relationship with a girl because of two reasons, 1) I was often in a mental turmoil about choosing a proper career path, and the PhD dropout period was really stressful so I had no time, 2) I really couldn't find a girl who shared my interests (Music, philosophy, etc...I have eccentric tastes). There was only one girl I was mildly interested in, and although she said she liked me, she couldn't be in a relationship because of a previous bad experience which had caused her parents to monitor her every move. I have lots of girls as friends, just no girlfriend!
Oh well, I am well settled now (I am 27 yrs old, btw), so its only a matter of time before I find someone. Enjoy your college life while you can - its fleeting, but quite pleasant. Most of my classmates from Microbiology are now my friends for life, and its special knowing that you share a close bond with so many people, no matter how much their lives have changed over the years.
