Life as an arts student is fun, crazy and memorable. From debating on all topics under the sun to bunking classes, from sun bathing on the campus ground to reading Shakespeare for hours at a stretch, we’ve done it all. Here are some memorable things which only an arts student will relate to.

1. You use just one notebook to scribble notes for all your subjects.

For some of us, the same notebook stays with us for all 3 years!

Even though it is not easy being an arts student in our country due to the stigma attached to it, you don’t regret taking the course one bit.

Because you know you’ll end up where you always wanted to.

While we enjoy college life to the best, we also get a lot of flak for studying arts. To all the humanities students and aspirants, if you are good at something and passionate about it, don’t let what people say bog you down. Your efforts will be worth it.
