THE GROWING UP AND TRANSITION DECADE

Hello darlings ❤...welcome back to the third phase of my blog...am really excited to write on this one cause it's actually based on my life in campus. So am currently a student at The Technical University of Mombasa 💛... It's actually the only university surrounded by water at the coast ...and yes am bragging about it😂💪 ...As always ...do not forget to comment and share after reading ...lots of love 💕.

THE GROWING UP AND TRANSITION DECADE.

"Oyaa aunty... Mimi staki kuwa mkubwa."(Hey bestie i don't want to grow up) These were the words that i was telling my friend in the midst of laughter one fine day after classes.


Ever sat down and looked at your life and realized that you growing old and very soon you going to have responsibilities over your shoulders and you won't have to go running back to your parents for help cause it's past your age?😥

Well I've found myself in that situation countless times ever since I joined campus. I remember being told that life in campus is a bed of roses, you come to class as you wish, you can play truancy and no lecture was going to question you on that. LOL😂😂 it was a scam!!

You miss a lecture and you don't get the exact information that the lecture had issued your are doomed, and if you go on dodging that class you just calling out for a supplementary exam in good faith, of which you'll have to pay a Thousand Kenyan shillings in order for you to sit for it of which is a loss for the comrade. Tough life i say. Responsibilities all coming in due to the fact that we growing up.

Personally I stay within the institution's hostels. The hustles in there, ask me I'll tell you about it. We being attacked by both internal and external factors such as hunger:the biggest enemy, micro- comrades aka kunguni (bedbugs), getting financially broke aka msoto phase, love triangles, drug addiction and many others.

I live a life known as "tatu pojo" meaning my course meal revolves around three chapatis and dengu( Green grams), so I'll have to be a thrift spender and not an extravagant one or else I'll be constantly nagging my parents for them to send me cash and perhaps they also in need of it at that time.

Late night studies, preparing for tests in other cases, group projects and one ends up getting paired with people who let you do all the work and them only acting as the ghost riders,but you'll still do all the work cause at the end you need the good grade.

The friends i have also have their major shares of campus life ...especially the ones living around Kongowea, Mshomoroni and Kisauni areas. First they deal with the Nyali bridge, they have to walk to and fro the campus everyday so as to save on fare... We end up losing others after them being mugged off and later on killed 😥😢. Others pass on due to illnesses or accidents that do not even spare them a second glance. It's still campus life ...we grieve and merge on💪.

Strikes, another common occurrence , with the rampage and havoc created after the demonstration, we have death tolls arising after my fellow comrades get clobbered by the security officers who try to bring peace and stability at the institution. Later on, "comrades power" will still arise and the same people who got clobbered and survived are at the fore front leading 😂.

Love triangles being the center of attention, where one witnesses fights among ladies because she stole my man, guys bullying one another because he kissed or winked at my girl, i know it's hilarious but in the long run we either have one party committing suicide or even murder.

All in all it's campus life and as i had said earlier on we have to embrace change and responsibilities as they come in. Other than that... I make friends...we make friends. The friends that we embrace are the ones we have fun with, we get to have get- togethers, have surprise birthday parties, go swimming, go on road trips*on my to do list* others go clubbing as a way in which they make memories.

It is with these people with whom we going to have as our bride's maids and grooms on our wedding days, come to our baby showers# it's that decade#😂❤ , and also get to have them in other life activities in the near future.

Memories 💙.

Campus life is quite diverse ...full of hustle and tussle but i guess it's how you take it, for that's the place where someone gets to grow up both mentally, physically and Spiritually, of which I still don't want to grow up😥😂😂.

So darlings that's my campus life, keep me posted with your views on how your campus life is.

Lots of love ❤.
