I never planned on coming to FAST, or even studying Computer Science – I applied on a whim and only came here by chance. But almost four years later, I can thankfully say I don’t have any regrets. When you come to FAST, everyone tells you about the extreme difficulty in surviving here: the tough studies, hard schedule, lack of relaxation and so on. This all sounded very daunting to me then, but now I realise that through these measures, university instills in you some very valuable qualities: a habit and appreciation for hard work and a dedication to performing consistently. Nothing feels better than realizing your hard work paid off and being a medalist in FAST is something that makes me very proud of myself and all the work I have put in it. It is a great achievement to have good grades and medals, but it is a much better thing to have a good work ethic and being hard-working and responsible – these are the things that FAST teaches you, and that will ultimately benefit you in whatever you do in your future. My batch is in a unique position because we got to view FAST change a lot – from creating new departments, to constructing a new building, developing a rich social life at university and much more. In my first semester, university felt very small with nothing to do except study. Then almost two years passed under lockdown – but so many things changed once the university was finally open again and back to normal. It’s a marvel to look at our university now and see how much it has grown, and will continue to grow inshallah. Even though I did not get the usual university experience due to the pandemic, I can still look back on the last four years with pride and pleasure. It was very tough at times, but alhamdullilah for all the amazing teachers I’ve had and all my friends who made university a good experience for me. I’m graduating soon knowing that I have gained a lot from university and am ready to progress into the next phase of my life. FAST is definitely not easy, but anyone can learn and grow a lot from being there.
