My experience at the university — Currently in my 2nd Level

‎

It all started when I registered for JAMB, down to when I wrote the examination; it was so overwhelming.... Travelling to another state to write the exams was so annoying. Then on getting there, their computers were not working. What a sad incident; so all candidates were asked to be sent to another center in another state. We were so scared, to such an extent we had to plead with the coordinators to send us back to our state.

Luckily for us, the available center that we were sent to was free, and everything was working perfectly fine. Then we wrote the exams successfully and then returned back to our different destinations. After some days we were asked to check our score. Oh my goodness, another trauma and fear of scoring below the expected score before being admitted to the university, and finally I let the fear go and then decided to check my score. Boom, I scored above the expected point needed for the course I registered for to go to university.

Move down to September; it's time to check admission status, and you know what it means 😊—fear of not being accepted and fear of being in the house when my mate will be in the university. Oh my goodness, an unexpected fever cramps me, and then finally I summon courage to check, smiles...lo and behold, I saw admission in progress.

We all know that it was 80% sure you will get admission. I was so happy, praising God, and feeling big already in my mother's house. A week after, I checked again, and I saw, "Congratulations, you have been given admission to study at the University of Uyo," and I was overjoyed. "Accept or decline?" and I accepted joyfully, not knowing I used my hand and signed another stressful bill and, most times, uncomfortable moment.

Move down to resume in the university. Oh my goodness, I saw so many beautiful souls, and then I was like, "Oh, so my own beauties stopped in the house. Oh wow, this is nice, time for screening." I wasn't informed more about university life or the way of doing things, so my first day was so terrible despite the fact that I dressed like a boy, but I defended myself and reset the man's brain.

Resuming lectures was a joyful moment, so overwhelming to meet new people from different backgrounds, different patterns of dressing, speaking, and so many things.

100 level in the university was so fun, interesting, and unforgettable, especially the 1st semester, feeling like a big girl already, doing what I liked, behaving how I liked, and then moving down to first semester examination time. I felt like it was nothing, reading tirelessly with the mindset of "I need 1st class."

That was the best feeling, though, and then the first semester was over, and we started the second semester. Should I just say second semester was more like the University of Uyo welcoming me to the university patterns? Meeting different lecturers with different patterns or ways of teaching, some were so annoying and some were enjoyable. There were different patterns of teaching; some didn't even show up for lectures, and I was like, "Wow, so I was deceived when I started!

Nice one. "And then it was time for examination—no happiness, no zeal to read—just because lecturers killed the spark I brought into the university. It was time to write exams. A lecturer set questions for topics that were not even in the material, and that was my worst day in the university, and I was like, "Is this how university operates?!" Everyone laughed and was like, "Welcome to the system. I wrote the exams anyhow and submitted them without looking or thinking twice, and I was like, "If I have a D or C, I'm good to go; first-class rest." I will look at it later..."

Oh my goodness, time to check results. Even without checking, I was already shaking and crying, so scared, but at some points I was like, "No matter the rubbish I wrote, I can't carry over. I trust myself." So I finally decided to check. I did not score C or D, but above that, I was so happy, excited, in fact overjoyed, and I was like, "How come...my best experience ever in the university..."

I therefore invite @bossj23 and @peacemike to participate in this contest.
