SOMETHING IS COOKING
By Osarennoma Ogbeide
Seven weeks down, five weeks to go. It seems like just yesterday that we started this session. Now, I already smell exams. Perhaps it is the activities saddled with the semester that aided the flight of time.
The freshers now know road, stallites are getting used to the stress and finalists have become familiar with the routes to their supervisors office. We are now habituated to the absence of bikes except for the occasional outbursts due to the scarcity of kekes. The doors of course registration are gradually closing and handing the reigns of authority over to tests and exams. I smell exams; yes that is what is cooking.
We are being bombarded with assignments, group projects and tests. Students are now beckoning on one of our associations to do what they do best. Little wonder why hearts were deeply broken when ASUU decided to strike on the 30th of July, only for the the VC to announce that it had been resolved barely 24 hours later. Many were unable to can.
We were slapped back into the reality of overwhelming classes and unending deadlines. Awo 101 and co are still ongoing but it has graduated from just visiting in the hostel to walking ‘her’ to KDL or wherever to read; talk about killing two birds with one stone.
Truth be told, it is becoming more difficult to juggle all these activities. At least for me it is. If you know me, I always say “don’t stress me “or “I don’t like stress”. I am trying to reduce the number of times I say this sha, after all, I don’t believe anyone enjoys stress.
Although there is much work to be done, I am learning to refuse dreading what must be done and just greet the day with a right attitude and a thankful heart knowing I have a loving savior who’s got me. I will just leave all that is behind and prepare for what lies ahead.
Everyone has probably felt equal or even more amount of stress or pressure. It’s fine. Just breathe in...Out. You smell that? Yeah, something is cooking, watch out!
