The thing we love the most—HANGING OUT!

My college has only five floors of classrooms, a bowling center opposite college, restaurants, roadside juice shops and roadside chaat stalls right next to my college.

A movie hall is pretty close to my college. If we drive for 10 minutes, we can get to the Marina Beach, which is the second longest beach in the world after the Miami Beach. Most of the old people go to Marina Beach.

Elliot's Beach is five minutes away from my house and that's where most young people hang out. It's lined with fast food joints, small stores, and a few shrines.

Group projects are fun! We love fun!"

My friends and I work on our projects together sometimes

Every semester, we have to work on projects related to our course. I had to do a lot of research on prostitution in India, and about how women are being treated.

One of my other projects is about the difference in the upbringing of children with two working parents and children with only one working parent.

These projects carry credits and look good on our resumes.

There are more than 1,650 main languages in India. My mother tongue is Tamil and our national language is Hindi.

I can read, speak and write Tamil and English; and can read, write and understand Hindi. I also learned French.

At home, I speak in Tamil with my family. Sometimes, we converse in English. I speak in both English and Tamil with my friends.

Most mobile plans are offered with free unlimited messaging.

Incoming calls and messages are free, but we pay 10 Paise (100 Paise are the equivalent of two to three Cents in U.S. money) for outgoing calls.

We pay 50-100 Paise for messages sent to other states in India.

This is the card that we insert in our mobile phones for the connection to function. They are reasonable—about 300 Rupees ($about $7.42) per month. Most students go for prepaid SIMs and many have two.

One is their official mobile number that their family knows. The other is exclusively for their boyfriend and other friends—people whose existence should not be known by the person's parents. I know at least 27 girls who have two SIM cards.

SIM plans are useful for those who want to send a minimum of 200 messages per day and make 10 calls per hour and talk on the phone for 24 hours.

Well, all of us require these plans! We need to message our friends every two minutes even though they sit right beside us.

Most college students in India take up part-time jobs—selling stuff, promoting products, radio jockeying…

With a part-time job, students can earn 1,200-3,000 Rupees (around $30-$74) per month and not be completely dependent on their parents.

We also pay our semester exam fees with the money.

Internships, or on-the-job training, are something all of us look forward to.

We gain a lot of knowledge and sometimes earn money. They're also good exposure.

But there is a lot of competition to get an internship. Students from various departments try out for the same firms and the firm chooses the best.

The number and type of projects and work we've done really matter on our resumes.
