University flashbacks
THE MOST UTILIZED RESOURCE OF N.E.D.
Guess who I am? In every stationary shop, you will see species of my kind standing in a corner waiting for a student to come with his mark sheet or notes to be photocopied. But being in N.E.D., I have a devastating importance without which the university could not survive. Yes, you are right; I am the well-known photocopier.
I am installed in every corner of the university. Be it the Nizami Photostat or the library or in front of the M.E. department, my value is known to everyone. Whether it is a student, or a teacher or a non-teaching staff, every person comes running to me to get his or her stuff photocopied.
I am very well known by every teacher at the university. When a teacher has to give any handout or an assignment, he or she comes directly to me so that the students do not have any difficulty to pick up the assignments, rather than going to the portal, and then of course the troubles start when the computer is not logging on or when the USB port is on the back side of the C.P.U. and many hardships like these. In some cases, the students have to run to the library to get the handouts and the assignments. Hence, I am the one who distribute the assignments to the students.
You will always spot me in a gang of students who wait till the last day of submission of assignments so that they do not have any problem completing the assignments and submitting them on time. Thus, every student trusts me as I am the one and only who would get then good grades even if they start studying near the exams.
The major problem for students and teachers arise when I am out of order or when the electricity is gone as everyone wants their work to be done on the due time. At this instance, my worth increases a thousand times as people start to quarrel because of me. Consequently, my load also enhances as many notes and registers approach me at the same time to be photocopied.
I am also on the tongue of those chill students and back benchers who pass their whole studious period out of class totally depending on me with the intention I will provide them their materials whenever they are in need (near the exams). So in this case, I am trusted by a large bunch of students and let them fully enjoy their life.
Even during the exams, I am not neglected as many students come to me if their work is not complete or when they realize that some assignment which they had not done is important for the paper. In this way, there is not a single day of the academic year when I’m not utilized.
In the end, I would advice every student that when you graduate from this university, never rely on me because there is a lot of diversity between the photocopied work and the original work.
