The Demons of the Final Semester

 

 
 Whatever demon comes into people in the Final and last Semester of University must be a strong one. Somehow, everyone feels the urge to do the things that they failed to accomplish in four or three years in just a few months.


The dudes who played ‘monk’, approached no girls, had no sex, all of a sudden go on a rampage. I told you of the dude we landed on cheating on his girlfriend and he asked us to keep ‘mum’. Well, the girlfriend had been starving him.

Then the girls? Even those who’ve been in those campus fellowships, all of a sudden make their first trips to the night clubs and parties. Then the men hunting also begins. No girl wants to go home single. Everyone begins to hold on tightly to whatever thing is called a man.

If you have a girlfriend in the final semester, it’s the worst moment. She will begin telling you all the names of your in-laws and what her mother expects from a man.

Talking of DEGREE, I have never seen people dead-beat, running in circles trying to increase a DEGREE in just months. These things happen. All of a sudden, we remember we needed first class degrees.

Then the worries about jobs begin. Everyone is getting philosophical about; “What next after University?”

Everyone is on the hunt for job opportunities. Everyone is inquiring about connections and which company is hiring. Those who didn’t tuck in their shirts before, begin tucking in. Whereas some of us, become more of rebels, since we know what we gonna miss, others become more of conservative.

Suddenly, every lecturer’s advice becomes worth listening to. The final semester demons are really alive. You can only understand them after experiencing them.
One thing I am certain of, these are demons that were always in us, they only get to power up in the final semester. It’s people chasing leg. Girls dreading the thoughts of going back to their parents’ homes and losing their freedom once again. Dudes thinking of moving out.

It’s only in this last semester that campusers try to cross the bridge before they reach it. Keep calm dudes and dudettes. Things are not as scary as they try to portray them to you. It’s the same normal world.

You will wake up, poop, brush your teeth in the same way you always did. You will look almost the same way. Or, did I tell you, that girls in the final year reply messages faster than anything in this world. She will reply it even before she reads it….

Hail the gods of FINAL SEMESTER of the final year…!!!
