My School Experience.

Why did i choose my university experience to share from? Well i guess that is when the pressures of growing up had set in and as we all know, it is hard being an adult so this is my story.

It was 2am in the morning, i hadn't slept and was expecting a 7am lecture while i was thinking of how i would steal some sleep before the class, my room mate shouted;

Josephine don't tell me you haven't slept na wa oh.

I felt guilty but i was already 75% done with the task at hand, an extra one hour to get it completed wouldn't be a bad idea i thought.

Hope you can guess what happened, well i went to class that day and had to make extra efforts to stay alert because i wanted to also get the best out of the lecture.

Lectures ended and i returned to my room about to get some sleep when i remembered my brother's tutorial lesson i had to cover cause he had his UTME exams around the corner and up i was again.

This summarized most of my time in the university.

I was that jack of all undergrad who got involved in a lot of things and wanted to put my best in all, so i wouldn't also pass for the master of none but did i succeed? well I'll say i tried at least no aspect of my life suffered as most times i passed the 50% pass mark.

Let me give a little insight into my myriad of activities;

Well i was a bussiness student at heart so for every level of study i found something to do to gain extra income asides stipends from home.

I loved the fact that i could boast of a stream of income no matter how little although, most were not online and my friend @bhoa always said i loved hard work not smart work but was that true?

I guess i just didn't know much about online income much but thank God i now know a little about Hive and the crypto world. Hopefully one day ill write as good as josediccus one of my role models.

I was a family lover and i gave my best to seeing my siblings excel in all they did.

So most times in school you will hear me say i'm going home to help out with this or that.

I know you will say, then just get an official employed labour and save yourself the stress but to keep it simple we didn't have that luxury.

Amidst all i had going on i couldn't let my studies suffer, no i loved medicine way to much and i still do.

So i still had to attend almost every class not because of the attendance pass mark but because i wanted to know more.

Learning is a passion and a fuel which drives me even up to this point.

So was i to let go of my spiritual growth?

I wouldn't even second think this i love God way to much so in my christian association, i had to find my place.

Just in case you are asking how did you manage all this?

Well, i did and it made me tougher.

Were there times you felt overworked?

Well yes, almost everytime but i couldn't let go of any aspect there were all too important to survive if you would allow me use the word.

So what was the end result of all this?

Well it taught me a lot, how to cope under pressure and stress being the least, and how to keep your goals always in view amongst many others.

Did i have time to relax? I'll say yes i did as i maximised every moment with family and friends to draw joy and laughter.

This are the excerpts of my undergraduate days.

Do you think it was boring? Well don't bother answering it's all in the past now.

Most importantly today i am grateful that i am a little closer to all i had set to acheive back in school and of course the result of accomplished goals is more goals so we keep moving.
