It seems like it was yesterday when I walked in,
\nThrough these hallowed gates, with hopes and dreams.
\nA new chapter of my life was about to begin
\nAnd the road ahead looked inviting, glistening in the sunbeams<\/p>\n

It seems like it was yesterday when I met my quad-mates \u2013
\nDivergent paths united by the blind hands of chance.
\nMaybe it was the banter we shared over the food we ate,
\nThat brought us together in harmonious balance.<\/p>\n

It seems like it was yesterday that my study group was assigned \u2013
\nA team of five assembled to scale the perilous peaks of assignments.
\nWe went through days bright and nights sleepless and unkind
\nAnd bonded over unshared history and shared moments.<\/p>\n

It seems like it was yesterday, that classes had just begun,
\nWith professors of repute sharing insights old and new.
\nThe claw of academic rigour gnawed at tree of mirth and fun
\nBut in the end, we persevered through it albeit with scars few.<\/p>\n

It seems like it was yesterday, that placement season was here,
\nUshering in a sense of fear and awakening an unnerving inner voice.
\nAfter a month of effort and a stroke of luck, I had reasons to cheer
\nFor I successfully navigated through this maze of chance and choice.<\/p>\n

It was yesterday that I paused and looked back without haste
\nAt the milestones that I have crossed and the people that I have met.
\nLife at ISB has been a race against time and competition with the best
\nBut the memories made will forever be etched in stone and set.<\/p>\n
