University life has its own charm

We see many people often saying “University life has its own charm”. This line is precise yet profound. The main official reason for us to join university is studies. But youngsters like me are well aware of the luscious desires we carry in our minds before taking admissions. To study is the last thing we’ve in minds.


Now let me get straight to the point. The charm of university life of course. The day we join our university we’re greeted by weather beaten faces in the form of seniors. Their experiences and advices are intimidating but fun at the same time. The gossips we share about teachers we hate have truly no match.


Let’s talk about some of university’s hot spots. Students become aware of spot like pg (prem gali), Qasim kay Samosay and Jabbar ki chaat before they smell the old books of seminar and main library.


Subsidiary subjects are sure problematic for students as they have to cover long distances and travel from one department to the next. But to tell you the truth, this factor has one hidden charm. While covering these distances you get a lot of time to chat and gossip as department grants you a considerable amount of time in between the periods. Thought the scorching heat of sun burns us badly, we happily tolerate it. It’s a price that we’ve to pay for out ‘Chit-chat luxury’


and, not forgetting the celebrations we’ve in our departments every month. ‘Cheap day’, ‘black day’, Picnic day, Eid Milan party, farewell functions and many such occasions are celebrated with great vigor. The best part I find in my department is that teachers are extremely cooperative and don’t create hurdles in playful schemes of students. They’re participators as well as attendees.


Escapism is the feeling that we all want to have. Though we all love being home with parents and siblings, we still need an outlet to vent out our frustrations against many issues. And we all know, friends are most convenient way of forgetting our never-ending troubles. While in university, we’re bombarded with a great deal of issues and discussions that we see, listen and solve. This busy schedule reminds us of the goal we need to focus our attentions upon and helps us disregard the petty issues that bother us on daily basis.


University life has numerous charms in it. When I try to recall some, a host of instances bombard my senses. But the limited examination time span doesn’t allow me to discuss all in detail. So I’ll stop here and spare you J
