Student Side Hustle Journey: How I Turned Struggle into a Startup
Self-Experienced Struggle

Introduction: A Student Dreamer in Tough Times
My name is Usama, I am 21 years old, and I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Software Engineering. However, I never thought to focus on a single field, so I explored and developed skills in multiple fields beyond software engineering.
My purpose in writing this blog is to raise awareness about how everyone can be more attentive to the focus of their life. They should be confident, and most importantly, they must be sure about their goals.
Everyone has to be ready for every kind of circumstance, but never give up on your dreams. If you have already thought about your dream, then it means you can fulfill your dream.
College Life Hustle!
I started thinking about doing something big in my life. But the question was: What big or new thing should I do? At that time, the COVID-19 pandemic had arrived all over the World, and the world had entered isolation mode: no college, no tasks, no exams, and no other activities. The World felt like it was falling apart, and I became anxious about my future. That’s when I shifted my focus from tomorrow to today. I started living in the present instead of worrying about the future, but unfortunately, I made one of the biggest mistakes in my life because no one knows what to expect in our lives, but we also have to plan to secure our future.
I planned to build and start a new business in various fields like Technology, Development, Clothing Brand, Music Production, Graphics and Animation, and many other related fields.
I started what I should have done by then, much too late. If I had done it by then, I would have achieved a lot today.
“It’s never been too late, it’s a matter of how you started it.”
University Life Hustle!
After progressing to the next level of education, we all transitioned to university life without even taking our college's final exams.
I got admitted to university while COVID-19 was still at its peak, and everything was online, but after securing my admission, in university life. I thought life was easy, and now I don't have to make hard efforts on my studies, and I can fully focus on my start-up plans. But that was my immaturity, and I didn’t even know that was going to be the hardest part of my life as well. Then again, I stopped thinking about my business and started focusing on my higher education, a Bachelor’s in Software Engineering.
In my final year, the excitement to launch my business returned. I realized, “If not now, then maybe never.”
Then, finally, in my final year, I started developing my business and strategies, and I also discussed with one of my friends who was also interested in joining and bringing it up to a higher level. By then, we started focusing on our final year and our business as well, without distracting ourselves with anything, we headed towards our future goals.
Now, the following are the showcases of our business:
