Studying architecture in the university is not just a course, it affects everything in your life from sleep pattern, social life, eating schedule, how you view life and everything. Only architecture students will understand these situations.

1. When you realize RedBull or Power Horse are your favorite drinks

Can’t afford to be weak for one minute, before you sleep for two days.

2. Realizing you have been in the studio for 22 hours

Ahan where is this time running to?

3. When everyone in the studio hates you because you play music too loud

Don’t be angry oh please block your ears now or go and build your own studio.

4. When everywhere is a bed space

The tables and chairs looking like a comfortable bed or roses. Opportunity comes but once.

5. When everybody is saying good morning and it’s just your bedtime

This backwards sleeping pattern life.

6. When you eat your breakfast, lunch and dinner at one sitting

Because there will be no time again till tomorrow.
