May I take it back, please?

When I was in school, I dreamed of college. It meant freedom - from the uniform, the cumbersome schoolbag, homework.

When I was in college, I dreamed of office. It meant freedom - from career talks, cheap joints, measly pocket money. 

Now, I dream of college. It means freedom - from bloodsucking projects, dreaded reviews, backbiting peers, monotony.

I want my Santa Claus back. I want my summer vacations back. I want my college canteen back.

I want my life back.
