My Uni Frenz: Cherished Forever

Tomorrow, I’m gonna be going on a long deserved holiday. Nowhere fancy, mind you. I’ll be just heading to Sungai Petani. Why that place, you might ask. Haha… Simple. I’m just heading back for a visit to my university. Or more accurately, a visit to see all my friends I left there a year ago.

I had formed the closest of bonds with some of the guys there, including my housemates and a few others. I will always remember all the good, bad, stupid, and crazy times we had together. Truth be told, I am closer to my uni friends than my hometown friends.

Maybe it’s some time to shed some light on myself. I’ve been quite elusive enough. Not many of my friends know of me and my history. Nahh.. I wasn’t an axe murderer. Simply put, I was a nerdy, lifeless, unpopular person. The day I stepped into AIMST changed everything for me. What was to follow is a 4 and a half year roller-coaster ride that completely changed the way I am, the way people look at me, and the way I perceive myself.

It was never the place that changed me. It was the people. These magnificent bunch of guys I came to be friends with. In the beginning, I was a withdrawn and solitary creature. I didn’t have many friends, and I didn’t express myself well. I chose my initial friends badly, and I made wrong decisions. All that has been spoken of before.

As I finally got to hang around the right bunch of people, I managed to better myself. After all, as they say, judge a man by his company. I was very fortunate to end up among this company of friends. My parents gave birth to me, raised me, educated me and thought me right and wrong. My friends here thought me life’s experiences. Four years of lessons well thought, of which none could have been better teachers.

The guys come from all walks of life, and different backgrounds. But among us, we were plain friends. No matter how stupid, obnoxious, rude, crude, selfish, belligerent, or ignorant some of us were at one point or another, at the end of the day, we know that we will be there for each other in times of joy and grief. I would always raise my glass for these guys, and we shall celebrate as we have always did.

See you guys tomorrow…. Kavi’s cominggggggggg, BIYATCH!!!!!
