Wonder Years!

I am currently in my 3rd year of B.Tech, 6th semester to be more specific.This is one time of our lives that is supposed to be really hectic and stressful, I had been hearing this cliche since the day I had stepped here; realize now that this was nothing but hard core reality.
Times are a changing, they certainly are.Life had been so peaceful, only now it seems that commotion has creeped into it; not that I am labouring day and night but the fear and uncertainties occupy me 24*7.
I look back and try to recall my school days, when I was a free bird with no worries and responsibilities. Life was easy and convenient. While in nursery and kindergarten things like studies resided in the far far land; mummy was there to take the headache of completing the course a day before the exam, she would have sleepless nights if I didn't have my poems at my fingertips while I would play with fairies in my dreams.With passing years, I did take my studies on my shoulders but then nothing else could ever bother me; nothing about electricity or having to eat food that I don't like or washing clothes! I knew all my needs would be catered to; my job was only to finish my homework and be off to play in time :D
I thoroughly enjoyed my school life; talking as much as i do now(or perhaps even more), laughing at silly things, disturbing the whole library while I was in there with my bunch of friends and all sorts of fun and frolic. I only had immediate goals then , things like doing well in tests or scoring in board exams; there was nothing about future that bothered me, as if life was moving as per some pre-planning! Being at home, I was so secure and sure of everything.
Things have changed drastically now, I have to be responsible for everything that concerns me. There are worries about future now; how I wish I had a time machine to know before hand what is to unfold! I don't even how prepared I am to face things, I can only wait for time to tell.
All I can sum up after so many moments of speculation is that school days were the best days of my life, I wish I could get those times back....those wonderful wonder years!
