I can never forget my first night in the hostel. I cried a lot, my parents weren't here to drop me to NUST. I felt bewildered in this new place. I was excited for sure, and I sure wanted to be here! And now I can’t forget the last of my days at NUST. I saw you all leave.

I go into my bathroom and from the mirror I peek into the lights of the room in front of mine. That room once belonged to Azeema, my intelligent neighbour. Seeing those lights from my bathroom mirror in last 4 years made me learn your routine :P Now I look into those lights and know that someone else has taken your room, I have tears in my eyes :'(

Then Mahwish! The one who was with me through and through in academics :P
As soon as you left that room, a scary MS/PhD student has replaced you. Whenever I pass by or see her face anywhere in the cafes or corridors, I scream inside, how could this happen to me? How could I have such elderly fat ugly women as my neighbours with no fun in life :'(

Zamah left! And I can’t forget our very first meeting. I had come and sat in your room for long. We talked of our families. You told me of your youngest sister! And I told you of my youngest brother :) :) I can’t forget anything we had together. From the crazy lunches and dinners to the awesomest Jalsaa :) :) :)

Saima!! I didn’t write a lot on your shirt. Let me tell you my feelings. I didn’t like you much in the beginning. In our first semester group, I was angry at you most of the time. But I began to love you later. And let’s say it’s you who invoked the liberal me, which is the way we all should be!! You taught me great things. You were least concerned about other people, you were never mean, cool at the same time, fun to be with, and a great friend. I misjudged you greatly, but it took me hardly a semester to understand you better and be a great friend. I won’t forget your congested room with clothes always on the chairs :P :D Your door being always open. A season, movie, MUSIC always going in your room. When I would rarely sometimes pray at Fajr in the Masjid, I was always able to hear the music from your room in the Masjid LOL. And I once stopped you on it yes I can recall LOL. And I don’t remember shutting my door before Islamiat exam on you. But I definitely remember our GIS OHT 2. We both got in my room to study :D And we talked all night. And then dozed off on my bed. When I woke up in the morning, it was 7:00 and we had an exam at 9:30. We hadn’t even started preparations :D I woke you up and you took quite a while to wake up, around 7:30 :P. We rushed with the syllabus and flunked the exam! LOL

To Anooshah, no words come to me right now. We've been together in the last 4 years. I remember our friendship started off with you asking me to pray for you to qualify for the Air force in the first week. Then you didn't qualify, you were sad, and i decided not to bug you that day. You were pretty sad I remember. I don’t remember our partying a lot in semester 1, but meeting up during exams was always obvious LOL. We had 2 consecutive exams in the first semester. First ones being Calculus and Physics. And I remember we always prepared together rashly. We would do all the problems of Calculus a night before and open up Physics book a in the gap hours between Calculus and Physics exams. God, I can’t forget our exam preparations together, our crazy outings together. From semester 2 onwards, we've been closest. There is too much with you to write :) :) And I’ve written more on your diary than this :)

To Anaum Riaz, though we are still together, but still a toast for you :P I remember we met together. You, Anum and me. We started off with Harry Potter and Lord Of The Rings and I don’t know what fictions :D LOL. I was glad to know that we were neighbours. Your room being in front of mine. I remember we both got very sick right on our 2nd-3rd day at NUST. We went to Nescom together. We slept together. And there was a black bug that had entered your room when we were sleeping together on your bed. I was scared of that bug and the next moment when I opened up my eyes, that bug was on me :D LOL We spent a lot of time together. Hangouts of Semester 1. The pains of Semester 2. Oh! And you were transferring to CAE. I cried so much when you gave me the news of transfer. I asked you not to leave in your room :D :D :D And you did stay behind :P Thank you :) Our walking on the roof and drinking coffee(me)/tea(you) :D And the faculty thinking we're about to commit suicide from roof LOL :D

To Anum Farooq. Never known anyone as religiously committed as you are. Never known anyone so graceful. I will never ever forget you. Also, your exercise routine. I don’t know why none of us ever learned from you in the last 4 years. LOL. I am glad we were classmates. And close neighbours. Our interests, the way they matched. And just right now I am recalling our WEIRD talk on the terrace LOL :D We've lost track of spellings in those 4 brutal years of Engineering LOL :D :D :D

To Maryam Jameela. We met way too late. In semester 3, thanks to Anooshah. But I found life in you. The wild party animal :D :D The one who understands me the most here. And yes, keep my dirty secrets safe and I'll keep yours safe too :P That guilty pleasure LOL :D Anyways, I miss you the most of all :) You've been there in my hard times :) In times when I couldn't share specific problems with the best of friends. But I could always share them with you :) Anyways, I had to say to you that, I did cry a lot when you left :'( Hope that makes you feel better. Since you forced me to cry and I didn’t :D But I did a lot I promise :P

Saba! You're here with me. We'll party still :D Do all the crap in F-6 and F-7 ice-cream places if you know what I mean. Understand the theories of HHI better LOL. I will miss you when we depart of course :D Abhi to sath hain aur jawaan hain :P :D Rest I couldn't give you my register for a write up :( I am sad about that and not sure when we meet next :(

To Beenish! I snapped a lot of photos of your room after you left with my DSLR :P Let me tell you that your room is getting 3rd handed LOL :D Because after you left, a day scholar stayed in it for a night and now someone else has taken over LOL. I will miss your art. Your makeup skills :P And your curling my hair with all the patience in the world for 2-3 hours endlessly :D :D :D

Farewell to all of you! Till we all meet again of course. We all came with crying faces, and we go back with crying faces too. I don't understand how these 4 years just passed by. But anyway, the party has just begun I guess :D So smile your biggest smiles everyone :D
