My Studentship Story - An Unforgettable Experience

Hello friends! Happy weekend to y'all. It's nice to be here again. Today I'mma share with you a brief description of how my University days were.

my prestigious department

I have always wanted to write about my stay in school and the experience I had since three weeks ago. I think this is the right time to do that.

I gained admission into the University of Uyo in 2016. It was a very exciting moment as I had hoped to enter school since three years before that time. At the same time I was nervous and scared of how the whole studentship will be like.

As a fresher I did my screening and paid my fees and was excited to start lectures. After a while, I started experiencing stress but I did not mind because that was what I signed up for.

this was our last days as undergraduates in the University of Uyo

I made so many friends probably because I did not know the real meaning of friendship, so everybody that came around me I regarded them as friends. Everyday after lectures batallions will follow me to my hostel, which my roommates complained about, but I didn't care because I thought they were envious of me that I had plenty of friends.

Even as I had many friends I also had people that did not like me. You know now, haters everywhere. But that did not stop me. I joined a fellowship in school and I was enjoying the warm welcome and family feeling I had.

Some weeks after resumption, lecturers started giving tests and I said having the real feeling of being a student. The heat was much. Sometimes I got scared of how my first results in the university will look like but at some point, I took up courage and I knew it wasn't going to get any worse.

Examinations came and it was a very different experience. I mean it wasn't like the exams I had been writing in my college. It was tougher, the lecturers were more strict, everything was just so different. But I thank god that I came out victorious.

After our first semester, we had few weeks break and then results started showing from left, right and centre. I was always so scared of checking my results even when I had it at the back of my mind that I wasn't going to fail. But at the end of the day, I'll still check them and to the glory of God, there was no reason to cry after checking my results.

Now throughout my four years in school, I have stayed in the hostel. This has been a very different experience. I mean I was in the dormitory in my secondary school but then, we used to be under the control of senior students and the boarding Masters and mistresses. But here in the University, I have stayed with four different sets of people throughout the four years. People with different character, likes and dislikes, different way of life and what have you. It has been a great lesson because I know that at this stage of my life, I can live with any specie of human being.

Talking about my lecturers, I have met the most funny, strict, serious set of people. Some of them were very good I must commend, and some of them were just there, then some do not care. In all meeting them was part of my great experience in school.

The first year passed, the second, the third and then the stress of running up and down was so much on me but I'm glad I didn't give up. From level to level, I kept sailing. Tough times came and even tougher times. But I knew a day would come, a day like this, where all of those will be in the past.

I finally came to the final phase, the last lap and it was very tough. I had so much in my plate. So much to deal with. The workload was much but I knew that giving up was not an option. I knew that graduation was near. I tried as much as I could not to have any issue that would drag me backward.

we signed out with so much joy

Then finally came graduation, the day I wrote my final paper. I was happy, I was moody, there were mixed feelings. Even the final paper itself was too tough and difficult to comprehend. But God saw me through.

Schooling was a phase in my life that will ever remain memorable. There were times life drove me around and I cried. There were sleepless nights. There were days I slept on an empty stomach. There were days my head was filled with thoughts of how this dream would become a reality. Guess what? It's finally a reality. The few things left for me to do, God is helping me and I'm almost through with all of them.

And then, I got an award from my fellowship. In the end, it was worth it.

This is just the beginning of the story. I'm the girl God is helping, and I'm heading to the Hill top that is way too high.
