Winner of December 150 Quiz: Nimra Nazar
Congratulations to Ms Nimra Nazar (Purchase Office) for scoring the highest number of points in the December 150 Quiz. Nimra is also an alumna (BS (Hons) Business 2012) which might explain her extensive knowledge of FCC trivia. Honorable mentions go to Mr Adeel Riaz (Advancement Office) and Mr Najam ul Sahar (Registar’s Office). We regret the delay in announcing the result, which was due to ALL the multiple choice options in Question 1o being wrong! After many recounts of the seating in E-025 (and our sympathies go out to returning officers in elections — we had no idea what a difficult task theirs was) we found out that the correct number of seats was 190. Only the first nine questions were therefore considered. Ms Nimra Nazar should contact the Communications Office to collect her prize of Rs 1,500 worth of book vouchers for Readings, donated by Assistant Professor Zeeshan Bhutta. Correct answers can be found on http://150.fccollege.edu.pk/the-150-quiz-december-2013/. Image courtesy...

A Memory
by Muhammed Abdullah Hayat I began my freshmen year at FC College on 7th October 2013. As I entered the campus I remember feeling both excited and a little nervous. It was the start of a new chapter in my life. I was finally a university student. At that moment I had no idea what this institution had in store for me. With every passing day, life at FCC became more and more enjoyable. The great architecture, the amazing people and the wonderful blend of nature made this place my second home. Within a month, I managed to create memories which will last a lifetime. One such memory, which makes me smile every time I remember it, is what I have decided to share here. It was my first week at FCC and I had just come out after taking three consecutive classes. Needless to say, I was exhausted. My friends and I decided to sit at the stands above the cafe. We grabbed some snacks and made our way towards our “adda” as we like to call it. With winter just around the corner, the evening was chilly with a cool breeze blowing. Black clouds had taken over the sky and with every passing moment the wind was catching speed. The main sports ground was full of people enjoying the wonderful weather. With the sound of laughter below and packs of birds hovering above, the sight was simply poetic. I had never seen such a sight in my entire life. My friends and I sat there and just looked. We observed the majestic view of the Armacost Building, the rustling of the trees and the flight of the birds. We observed peace and serenity. It was in that moment that I had a sudden realization. In that overwhelming silence I had my great epiphany. Sitting there, I smiled and said, “Guys, the best four years of our lives have...
