How to Make these 4 years worht it

OK so its been ages since i posted here, and most probably i wont post for a long while after this as well, couple of things
1) I don't do content writing , i am horrible at it
2) My Spellings are completely effed up and so is my Grammar , so don't complain about how poor the English of this Post was

This post will be a little SEECS oriented
Anyways so This post is for everyone out there that got Admission in NUST or any other University. All through out your life you would have heard "University Life is great" , "University Life main bohat Shugal Hota hai" , "You learn a lot and get to do A lot in University Life"
All of this is true , but only if you want it to be. University life gives you a lot of opportunities , from Societies to events, Competitions , sports to name a few
Now its up to you if you want to avail these opportunities or not.
The thing is i know people in my class who sit and say "NUST boring hai yar , kuch hota he nahee hai yahan par"
And when Some Event is taking place like Sports Gala , they are in their hostel sleeping

What i am trying to say is , There is a lot to do in NUST , but you have to take the initiative , For me the past 2 years have been great , I have done a lot , Acting in drama , Playing for my House in Sports Gala , Organizing an International Event , Spending hours in the market shopping for items to Give a touch of Morocco to our class for Global Village.

The fact is University life can either be dull , or be exciting , its up to you . You can sit in your hostel and play DOTA all day and night or actually go out and take part in University Activities. The best way to do this is by joining societies. In your first 2 weeks in SEECS different Societies will set up their Recruitment stalls in the lobby , You can get more information about these clubs and societies and an opportunity to join them
Joining these societies will not only give you an opportunity to take part in different events , but also to meet new people . Half the people i know in SEECS and in other school of NUST are through some event or society. This really helps you grow your social circle which will prove very beneficial in your professional life.
Plus trust me organizing events is damn fun , You will start off small . The first event i was part was SEECS Open Day , and all i did was take pictures with the utterly horrible camera SEECS own, but by the end of the year i was one of the lead organizer of SEECS Open House which is one of the biggest event of SEECS.
And yes i brag a lot :P

Anyways my point is , You have 4 years in University (hopefully not more ) Make them count , take part in events , be part of societies , play sports , take part in contests and competitions , coz these are things that make University Life Memorable

When i look back over the past year my most memorable moments have to be the Global Village , Dramafest and Sports Gala
And 90% of my class did not even take part in any of these 3 events.

University is not about just studying and scoring a good GPA , you have to learn a lot more . And these events provide the perfect opportunity for you to polish your management and soft skills and it helps you stand out,meet new people , get to work with professionals, meet entrepreneurs . A lot of benefits,

And in the end these are the days you will remember, These activities make your days in NUST memorable.
So dont just sit and waste 4 years , go out there , join a society , volunteer for an event , spend hour standing ushering a crowd. Yes it starts small and with hectic task but it gets better and at the end of it all , its worth it

Now for SEECS student , Here is my take on which Society you should Join and Why
Youth Entrepreneurs Society(YES):
This Society is Affiliated with TiE and has industrial linkages. They are comparatively an active society in SEECS and hold workshops . I joined them in First year but was never active , something i always regret
NUST Science Society
This is the biggest Student Society in NUST and the most organized, Get in early since getting promoted in NSS is hard. But remember NSS demands a lot of your time , they hold a lot of events and require full time commitment , I was appointed as Director Media but was later sacked since i could not give proper time to the society
Student Governing Association (SGA)
There are rumors that SGA will get dissolved this year , lets hope they are not true. If you want to be part of events that take place in SEECS you should join SGA , you get to work a lot and learn a lot , all of major SEECS events (welcome party , Open Day , Open House , Orientation Day , Week of Welcome , batch Parade) are organized by SGA. You get to work with SEECS administration and faculty
NUST Adventure Club
This is a must join Club , by being their member you can take part in all their events which include hiking trips , trip to shooting range and other awesome activities



Emm that should be about it
Welcome to NUST , Hope you have a great time

  2. Gonna be a SEECS student soon. All my life I've been the student who had just stayed home and studied. Not outgoing or participating in events. Your posts are inspiring, to say the least.
    Thank you for your blog. It gives some inside knowledge about the school, and needlessly to say I'll try to join as many societies as i can and participate in events.
    Again many thanks for the time you took to post these blogs. I realize you would have been graduated by now. Good luck for all your future endeavours.
