Uet and change

During the last few days of my summer vacations, i just couldn't wait for the university to start. I was just so excited, for lots of reasons. I knew once the uni started i'll get to meet my friends everyday, then there'd be my society, and football and all the stuff that university brings. But it all came to nothing i think.
Once the university started, all of a sudden, all excitement went down. Everything seemed very ordinary. Days at the university seemed long, it was hot. Add to that a plethora of new stupid rules, it seemed we were being bound in chains. Then, on top of everything, the society issue, that was the coup de grace.
Its still the same way, i get up, get ready all excited for university, go to my bus stop still excited. The journey by bus is still great. But just as we reach the confines of the university, an unfamiliar feeling steps in. Everything that UET stood for, the freedom, the comfort, the pride in the air, it seems is going out like fading sunlight. Its all so depressing. I love UET like anything, i just dont like what they're doing to it. UET used to be a training ground for real life, now its become just another university, or its becoming that. Thats blasphemous for this prestigious institution. When i stepped into UET i probably knew that it would be difficult maybe to come out as a good engineer automatically, but i always knew that i'd be a changed person, a UETIAN, someone who experiences life firsthand. I knew, UET churns out sharper people, more funloving engineers and people who're not scared of being themselves. But look at what they're doing, there's an inside joke that its becoming the School of Engineering and Technology. They're killing the culture, killing the societies, subduing all sports, taming the very UET spirit! And hence the excitement turns into frustration.
When i started writing this post, i had a lot of things in mind, but then i thought i had to zero in on this point. Everyday, me, imran, hamza, jaws, zaeem, umair, poly, zubi, bajwa, umar, faizi, azr and the other boyzes still sit idly, cracking wild jokes, being utterly stupid acting as if everything normal. But everyone knows, change is on the cards, infact its in the air. We've to think before doing everything we did before. We're proud of the fact that we've taken football to every corner of uet! Even infront of the vc office. There probably isn't a place we haven't played football. And now, we've to think about doing any such stuff. Its all so stupid, maybe nothing's gonna happen immediately, but like i said, they're taming the UET spirit. Or atleast trying to.
And we'll resist this change. As much as we can inshaAllah!
