Welcome Back, Students!
π The Countdown Begins: Welcome Back, Students! π
It’s August 20, and the quiet hum of summer is about to give way to the vibrant energy of campus life. In just under two weeks—on September 1st—classes begin, and the university will finally feel like itself again.
Because let’s be honest: this place isn’t the same without you.
Over the break, the hallways echoed with silence, the lecture halls stood still, and the canteen—usually buzzing with chatter and clinking trays—felt more like a quiet retreat. I still went there every evening, sharing dinner with the few determined students who stayed behind to prepare for entrance exams. Their dedication was inspiring, and their presence a reminder that learning never truly takes a vacation.

π² Nature’s Little Takeover
On my daily walk to the canteen, I pass by the new parking lot built last semester. It was shiny and fresh when it opened—but summer had other plans. Now, ivy creeps across the pavement like it’s trying to write poetry in vines. Grass pokes through the cracks, and the ebikes left behind have become tiny green sculptures, slowly being reclaimed by nature.
It’s beautiful in a wild way. But it’s also a sign.
A sign that it’s time for you to come back and reclaim your space. The campus misses your footsteps, your laughter, your late-night study sessions, and yes—even your frantic dashes to class when you're running five minutes late.

π Make This Semester Count
As you return, bring your curiosity, your ambition, and your dreams. Whether you're starting fresh or continuing your journey, this semester is a blank page—and you hold the pen.
So get ready to dive into new challenges, meet new friends, and push yourself further than before. The university is waiting for you. The ivy can wait.
Welcome back. Let’s make this semester unforgettable.
