Your First Day at University: Dosti, Dreams, and Dehradun Diaries!

The moment your Class 12 board exams wrap up, relatives flood you with the classic question: “Beta, ab aage kya?” After months of vague answers, counselling sessions, and late-night chats with your friends deciding “what's next,” you finally have an answer: University life awaits! And if you're heading to UPES, Dehradun, congratulations—you're about to embark on an adventure you'll never forget.

Let’s dive into that exciting, slightly nerve-racking, but ultimately unforgettable first day of your new life chapter!

The Early Morning Rush (And Your Mother’s Emotional Goodbyes!)

It's 6 a.m. Your alarm blares. You roll out of bed with a jolt of adrenaline, heart beating faster than during your board exams. Today isn't just another school day—it's your first day at UPES, one of India's most vibrant and prestigious universities nestled in the scenic beauty of Dehradun.

Your mom, with tears and pride equally mixed, hands you your favourite aloo parantha, extra ghee included (because, of course, you need energy). “Don’t forget to call every day,” she reminds you for the hundredth time as you rush out the door.

Welcome to UPES: Love at First Sight!

Stepping onto the lush, picturesque campus of UPES feels surreal. Mountains in the backdrop, fresh Dehradun air, and hundreds of enthusiastic students buzzing with excitement—trust us, you’ll instantly want to pull out your phone and spam your Instagram with #CampusLife and #DreamComeTrue.

Orientation at UPES isn't your usual "boring speech" scenario. From engaging workshops on energy innovation, trending tech careers, and leadership, to quirky ice-breaking sessions that leave you giggling uncontrollably, your first day feels more like a celebration than an academic chore.

And yes, you quickly realise UPES is not just about engineering or law; it's a melting pot of creativity, talent, and ideas waiting for you to explore!

Meeting Your Future Besties: “Hi, Dost?”

Remember the famous dialogue: "Dost fail ho jaaye toh dukh hota hai... Lekin dost first aa jaaye toh zyada dukh hota hai!" Well, university friendships are just as dramatic but infinitely more rewarding.

Within minutes of orientation, you’ve already bonded with a bunch of students from Delhi, Lucknow, Kolkata, Jaipur—basically all corners of India—each bringing their quirky regional slang and hilarious school stories to the table. You exchange Instagram handles and numbers, making promises of endless hangouts and study marathons.

Fun fact:

University friendships often start with the classic Indian icebreaker—“Tera school kaunsa tha?” followed swiftly by “Aur stream kya liya?” (Get used to it, it’s tradition!)

Agrasen Mansion Boys Hostel: The Perfect "Second Home"

After an exhilarating day of orientation, chai breaks, and selfies galore, you finally head to your hostel—your new home away from home. Agrasen Mansion Boys Hostel isn’t your typical "mess khana" and cramped rooms stereotype; it’s more like your comfy zone, designed specifically for UPES students craving both comfort and fun.

The welcoming vibe hits you immediately: smiling faces, cozy rooms, rooftop chill zones with a panoramic view of Dehradun’s hills, and unlimited opportunities to create those epic hostel memories your seniors always bragged about. There’s even a senior in the common area casually offering hostel-life survival tips: “Mess wale bhaiya se friendship kar lena boss, life set hai!”

Evening Chai, Midnight Conversations & Lifelong Memories

As the sun sets over the hills, you gather with your newfound gang on the common area on each floor, sipping evening chai, swapping dreams, cracking jokes, and, of course, debating passionately over the best IPL team.

Soon, laughter fills every corner, easing any leftover nervousness from your first day. Midnight maggie cravings follow, bonding you even further. You realise quickly that the bonds forged here at Agrasen Mansion aren’t just about sharing rooms—they’re about sharing life itself.
