Apparently this is the only post not talking about love or valentine, so i decided to go for it.
Being a student was everything, hell if I had a wish I would probably wish to go back in time and be a student one more time, maybe to execute my plans earlier.
It's been 4 years now. I graduated from university, lost a lot of friends and made a few . I guess that's probably how everyone grows up, follows their dreams and distance themselves.
I started University 2014 and finished in 2019 and I bet those 5 years were the best cycle of my life. Am a student who loves reading, not a bookworm but a serious one, and back then I would read my ass out, probably not to fall behind. I started very badly in 100l but progress massively over the years,
Am not the brilliant type though and i wonder how those first class did it, there were like our second lecturer back then, am kinda like the moderate intelligent type,, am definitely not the churchy type as well non was i the outing type
Lets just say my university days were just Normal routine, hostel, lecture, mid night reading class and lecture again lolzz, i hardly go out, i hardly go clubbing, except maybe on saturdays when hubby takes me out for a keg of palm wine, and catfish pepper soup.
Am the kind of student that loves exams and reading ahead of it, going to the university taught me a different secret pattern of reading. It's not all about cramming the whole book and pouring it back to the lecturer on the answer sheet on the day of exam, one tends to forget and fail easily this way. It's all about reading to understand exactly what is written on the lecture note, sometimes i use my imagination and demonstrate exactly what is being taught in the book,
With this pattern of reading I tend to express myself in my own words and with any question being asked on the question sheet. This was one of the secrets why I came out with a great cgpa.
Friends, Well Speaking of friends I don't like making one and I don't like keeping any. I only had 3 people close to me throughout my university, Hubby, Adams my close pal, and my close partner in crime Bibo, the rest actually was history.
Am the kinda student that loves my space, hell if i could rent an apartment and stay there alone i would probably do it, but the cost was on the high side so i probably stayed in the hostel till i graduated,
Staying in the school hostel also taught me a lot of things, cooking was one of them. I never eat out hell where the money is?. When you see different girls cooking in different styles and patterns you'll be forced to learn one or two cooking techniques from them.
Staying in the hostel taught me how to cook excellent, top notch. My mother in law could not hold it when I garnished a meal for her during this festive season. She was like " I think you went to learn just how to cook so well in that university you finished from. 😀 Not witstanding, my Mother also contributed with me cooking perfectly well, just that the hostel made it diverse.
Well you'll also be forced to learn how to tolerate different categories of people, i mean if you stayed in the school hostel and you are not yet refined in life then it'll take a miracle to put your manners in sharp. I learnt tolerance, determination and so much more.
Later some people will say school is a scam. School is another world entirely on its own to bring the best outta you and make you view life in a different meaningful way if of course you are willing to put in the effort, get your head down and put on the zeal to learn.
Till we read again, Kudos!
