Ghosts Of Days Gone By

This week, by far, has been the most intense week my college has ever experienced. Whether individually or together, all of us faced different levels of stress and dissatisfaction towards the administration. I'll list down a few of these events.

Ever since the cafe moved to the DH, shit's been hitting the fan. On Saturday, a fight erupted between two juniors, resulting in a wounded arm, broken partitions and a broken common room window. On Monday night, the 14.5 boys conducted a bashing of ridiculous and utterly humiliating nature that destroyed ky's reputation of having a well-bred and understanding society of students. The Student Services(SS) were informed, and actions were taken. On Tuesday evening, Anwar had a concussion. Fortunately it was a minor one and he's okay now. The next day, it was Mochi's turn for an injury, and it was a broken pinky. 

On Thursday night, stories spread that the SS banned food deliveries in ky, which means we're not allowed to order Abg Hafiz's burgers anymore. This was crossing the line. A massive uprising came about on twitter, where fellow ky students tweeted their complaints and showed their support for the boycott. It was the first time we were that united. 

Today was different. An emotional one. One of serious matters from the outside. I woke up to the sound of Dr. Bano's voice in my common room. There stood Zameer, Fifi, Dr Bano and Hazman. Hazman's baby brother, who had recently been diagnosed with pneumonia a few months back, passed away this morning. Whoever is reading this and you didn't know about it yet, please send him your condolences. It doesn't matter whether you're close to him or not, every word of comfort you give is an extra ounce of strength for him. My good friend is in pain.. I cannot take away that pain, but I can help ease it. The tiniest bit of effort can go a long way.

I don't know what's happening to this college and the world. I could complain a lot, but I I've exhausted all my complaints in conversations with my friends...there's just no point. If God has something planned, this week was a good way of showing it. Maybe after all these bad signs, things will turn out okay later. Maybe these events are lessons to be learnt...maybe this week was a reminder that humanity is on the edge of a cliff, and that we must do our best to stop it from falling.

Or maybe it's just me.
