MY 2015 IN RETROSPECT

By -
     So i just woke up this evening (new years eve) and i found out i haven't blogged for about 3 years now, its like i went on a blog detox. But here i am again, and this time i won't make any promises but i would simply just say i would try my very very best to be serious this time.
     Okay so back to the topic, 2015 has indeed been a remarkable year for all of us. The events that took place, the decision we made or did not make, the risk we took or did not take, all these things have all in one way or the other shaped us into something different. For me, 2015 was one of the best and at the same time one of the worst. 2015 literally chewed me and spat me out ( obviously i don't mean literally, but you get the picture).
    As i lay on my bed reminiscing, i can't help but to say one thing and that is "thank you God". Well I've got a question for you all, what has two thumbs and is now an Engineer ?. That's right you got it, this guy, me , i'm the something that has two thumbs and is now an Engineer.
         

 Well that was one of the wonderful things that happened to me. I'm now a graduate, no more reading or going to class or practicals. I feel so free. 


    In 2015, i also found love, that's right an engineering student cum engineer can also get a girlfriend. Well the messy part was i also lost love in the same way i found it (that part really sucked). But I've learnt to move on with my life.
    I also found one of the most comical comedian or musician ever. I don't even know if he is a comedian or a musician. Well i'm talking about "Vic O". Vic O claims to be the best rapper ever, you all need to check out his drake vs meek mills diss track. I don't know if Vic O purposely decided to sing the way he does for publicity or he his actually being serious. Anyways, vic o made my 2015 fun despite some shitty things( excuse my french) that happened to me, which i wont dwell much into.
     I learnt some important things this 2015, i learnt the hard way though, but those experiences really shaped me to become a different person. I don't know if i'm a "good" different person now or a "not so good" different person now ( i don't use the word bad,  its such an ugly word right?) all i know is that i'm a different person. I've learnt that nothing is permanent, both good and bad. I love using the phrase "this too shall pass". And i mean the bad days won't last forever likewise the good days also (so we don't get carried away).
    I've learnt that in this life sometimes, in other for you to go far, you have to kiss some frogs and kiss some ass. What i mean is that you have to be willing to do some things outside your comfort zone and you have to be loyal to to the right people 


 i also learnt that you should never envy anybody because you don't know the full story. When people tell me that they want to be like me or they want to be like mr A or mr B, i always say this to them, You Don't Know the full Story about me or the person you are envious of.
   Anyways i'm looking forward to  2016 and all it has to offer, so guys this is me wishing you all a happy new year.

FEARS

By -

No matter how brave you are or how courageous you may act, there is always that one thing that you are scared of. Now fear doesn’t necessarily have to be physical, at times we fear things we can’t see (non-physical). I know most people, especially the motivational speakers would say we shouldn’t have fears, they say things like you should fear nothing but fear itself, some argue that fear isn’t real, that it is a choice, and we can choose not to be afraid. Now I agree with this school of thought to an extent, not completely though. Also one thing I’ve noticed is that we always paint our fears as bad, and this isn’t always the case. At times our fears are good, yes I said it, good, well you should keep in mind that this “good” is relative. Sometimes our fears keep us in check, a person who is afraid of having STI would most likely refrain from “unsafe” sexual acts. A person scared of spiders would always make sure he/she has a neat room to avoid cobwebs and spiders. Now to my...

CHRONICLES OF AN NYSC MEMBER"CORPER" PART 1

By -

So, after being postponed like four freaking times, the National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) camp was eventually confirmed to hold on the 27th of April 2016. Alas, i could finally tell people who doubted if i actually did graduated, that i was off to camp. i'd already bought my things about 2 months before so i was fully prepared and eager to get to camp . In my mind i thought camp was going to be fun, filled with a lot of flexing and partying (at least that was what i was told) but my case was quite different from the assumed norm. Maybe it was just me because most of my co-corp members all said they had fun. It had to definitely be just me because i really didn't catch much fun in camp.                    I resumed at the issele uku orientation camp in delta state, a day ahead of the official resumption date, guess i was too eager and so were many other people because i met a crowd of similar people all waiting to be addre...

THE NOT SO FUN PART OF COLLEGE

By -

You know that annoying or should I say weird moment when things don't go as planned. Well today I'm going to be talking about life in colleg/university and what you should expect. This post is basically for the freshmen just joining the system. Before I got admission into school, I could still remember the late night reading, tutorials and all those extra work I had to do just to get admitted ( and believe me it was tiresome).           When I finally got admitted I was ecstatic, and I thought that now my flexing begins. This was actually due to a misconception I had about college/university, I thought it was going to be filled with fun, partying, and .....(You know what I mean) Well I blame this misconception to the numerous series films which I watched such as GREEK, which portrayed college as fun filled and interesting, the thrill of joining a fraternity/sorority (I'm not saying school is totally boring though), but what I saw and still seeing...
