| Fresher's Night |
Just hearing this term “Fresher”, I get
irritated knowing that it’s now being used to refer to me. Damn! It
just actually reminds me of the “Bunsen Burner” times in my
Senior One but who cares, at least everyone has been called that if
they went through the university, they were once “freshmen” and
it will also pass.
So yes, the admission lists for those admitted on
private sponsorship were out and my name appeared, there I was with
the course i have always desired to pursue. Do not ask me about the
government sponsorship because being sincere, I saw no use of filling
the KUCPS or call them JAB forms reason being, I was not expecting
miracles especially after sitting for those examinations. Call me
dumb or daft but those who have been there know what I mean. That
aside, on seeing my name, I called dad and he joined me in my
excitement.

I was thinking okay, am now joining the university
like vacation is ending without even having fulfilled my goals(The
vacists know what goals am referrin to from getting a job to
attending all the harez that got to my notice)but reality kicked
these expectations out with the tight curfew from parents.
I picked my provisional letter from my faculty
like any normal admitted student and on reaching home, I presented it
to my father just the tuition fees raised an alarm it was not the
normal three figured digit he used to see on my high school bankslips,
these are thousands including the functional fees! But he is a classic
man ,he acted gentle and said “it’s ok my daughter, if that is
what you want, you will surely get it”
Happy me, I started telling all the relatives that were coming home to visit how am a campusser till one day, this one aunty of mine nailed it!

“You are now going to a deadly zone the world is
not as simple as you see it. Watch the type of friends you hang out
with, some are wolves who just want you down. Do not just take
anything lightly, avoid partying late in the night, they can drug
you. You can be raped and please abstain okay use a condom where you
cannot help it etc”
I cannot exhaust it all, so am thinking to myself
Really??!! Do I need this education or whatsoever, I have been
through this stuff though I do not jazz you but i have done that
before so no need duh!
But in reality, this girl here is so scared, nervous, hyper and excited about this whole campus life though she is acting aka hardcore …
It’s disturbing though how my parents are now
getting so much involved in my life after all those 13 years of
boarding school when I wasn’t in their hands from the age of 6
years so why now when am 19 where even the constitution of our
country terms me as an “adult” but I have got to deal with it my
way may be their love has just drastically been hiked up who knows so
use the moment profitably while it lasts by writing the longest
shopping list ever including whatever crosses my mind without
hesitation whether I will get everything there.
All in all, I am excited about this new big step in my life “THE CAMPUSS LIFE”
