2020 Freshers encountered COVID-19, the uninvited housemate, which forced campuses to go remote, leaving lecture halls eerily silent. With in-person lectures suspended, students and professors embraced the digital realm of Zoom calls, transforming bedrooms and living rooms into makeshift classrooms.

But the pandemic brought more than just online classes. One memorable aspect of this unconventional year was the rise of large cross-hall flat parties in kitchens and impromptu gatherings on the basketball court. It became the year of dodging campus security, while seeking social connections and challenging strict rules.

Despite the challenges we faced, a sense of resilience and adaptability among the academic community was fostered. Students formed virtual bonds, professors devised innovative teaching methods, and staff worked tirelessly to ensure the safety of all.
