Being a Ravian

GCU Logo. The Emblem.

The kind of feeling you get wearing Red Blazer and this Logo up on front of your heart is, yess, that's the kind of feeling I'm talking about and can not be explained merely in words. Wearing this uniform and walking through the streets with pride, the pride of a Ravian, this can only be understood by a Ravian. People always get tired of wearing a dress code each and every day of a year, but a Ravian never gets tired of this piece of cloth on his body.

The centre of the GCU main building is marked with an enormous entrance tower—a most impressive element representing the image of Government College University. This tower can be seen from a long distance and as you start moving closer to it your heartbeat starts rising, getting a feeling that you are studying in one of the finest institutions in the world. This tower is special due to its uniqueness. Sitting in the oval ground in Winter, sunbathing  and looking at this beautiful tower creates a special sensation of being a Ravian.

Chit Chat

The environment you get there is the best thing. Every single face has something hidden in it. There are people from all over Pakistan and everyone has its own special skill. There are toppers, there are students who applied on reserved seats and got selected on the basis of their specialty. Even a disable is selected for the thing he has inside him not what he has physically. And when the thoughts of these people combine they start getting even bigger.

We have also seen people commenting on GCU that there is no study, teaching standard is very low, teachers are not competent etc etc. This may be a thing, but the thing we get from there is far more bigger than the thing we are not getting. And that thing is a beautiful thought. You may not be able to get good marks but you may be able to decide that “Do you really needed marks?” and getting answer to that question is satisfaction.

Those two years of my life were the years I got to know myself. A person who has never been to GCU can never understand what it is like to be there. Sharing in incident here:

I got into conversation with a teacher who was from another institution xyz. He was degrading GCU in front of me. I couldn’t bear that and I argued with him over this for a long length of time. I may not be able to change his thinking but I was able to get the satisfaction that I have played my role of having the blood of a Ravian.

The life at GCU was just memorable. Those were the days one can never forget. In the life after this we will keep on telling the world what a Ravian is.

Thank you GCU for everything :)
