My favourite time of the year, Ramadan, is finally indoors! and as I do every year I welcome it with open arms. This will be my first Ramadan to spend it entirely without exams or any academic interruption so I am hoping for a deep meditation and good internal changes during this holy month. Ramadan gathers family, friends and even neighbours and creates a very beautiful vibe that keeps us thinking that life is still fine and warm-hearted people do exist. My favourite part of Ramadan is when I stay up all night watching the stars of the sky and waiting for the sunrise with my mother while reading the Holy Quran, I get goose-bumps` just by having those flashbacks! Ramadan has a unique smell and a special taste, it could be the smell of the soap we eat on Iftar or the taste of the drinks we drink only in those holy days, Ramadan teaches us a lot and makes us discover how strong we are enough to control ourselves for not eating for almost half the day, it also makes us feel for those who can’t afford to have their own food. In Quran, it has been mentioned that Ramadan is a very important month because most likely your wishes will be true if your relationship with God was moral and your wishes were realistic and deserving. Finally, with heavy hearts, after those memorable 30 days, we get to say goodbye for Ramadan with a hope that next year could come faster so we can enjoy Ramadan days again, oh how I wish Ramadan was every day.

I fell in love with the huge campus and my favorite two cafe shops were there too, and surprisingly the gym was clean and big. To be honest, it felt a bit weird that I was walking around the campus while holding my phone and feeling that my old high school supervisor is going to take it from me, I will finally carry my phone freely and at least put on some colorful nails without breaking off "school laws". I really do miss my school friends because they were with me almost all day long and we used to contact a lot even after our meetups so that makes me miss them even more since I am far away from them. Today is the first day I realized I am ...
