"Those Were The Best Days": Man Reflects On College Life, argues Happiness Faded After 20

A man’s memories of his college days have brought back a time when he felt life was at its best, with his father paying his college fees and supporting him. X user Sunderdeep shared a personal reflection on those days and how his perspective on life changed after turning 20.

Sunderdeep recalled enjoying music and listening to elite playlists during college. He also remembered spending time with his brother, listening to comedy by Bhagwant Mann and Bhotu Shah on a DVD player. His post looked back at his college years and the sense of comfort he associated with having his father there to support him. The post drew several reactions online. I don’t know what, but it did. Another user noted, “That’s called adulting.

Sunderdeep said he did not realise when he turned 39 after the age of 20, but described his life since then as miserable. One user commented, “Something switched post-2007.

He also said he built an “aura” in his hostel as the only student to get placed despite having an aggregate percentage of 63%. Reflecting on money and happiness, he said that money cannot provide the happiness and “sukoon” of knowing that one’s father is there to feed them. “You won in your life,” added a third user.
