Every year each and every college welcomes new batch to their academic session. Seniors eagerly wait for this moment to welcome their juniors. Fresher’s parties, welcome events are organized by the seniors. But when this kind of celebration leads to the worst of entertainment, it will destruct someone’s study, even life also.
