🎓 UNIVERSITY LIFE: From“I can't wait to enter school” To “who sent me??” 😂📚 🎓 UNIVERSITY LIFE: FROM “I CAN’T WAIT TO ENTER SCHOOL” TO “WHO SENT ME??” 😂📚 Hey beautiful people! 🌺 It’s your girl here — just a Nigerian university student trying to survive and stay sane in this wild place called campus. 😩 When I first got admission, I was excited. Like really excited. I imagined freedom, grown girl vibes, cute backpacks, late-night group reading that actually works, and mature friendships that feel like Netflix movies. 🥰 But now… 😭 I just want to talk. Please, sit down. Let's gist. --- 😩 CLASS REPS BE MOVING LIKE CELEBRITIES Let’s start with the so-called class reps. Who gave them that power?? 🤷🏽♀️ Once they get that position, they start acting like they were chosen by the gods, not just elected to forward lectures and post exam dates. 😒 You’ll say “hi” and they’ll look at you like you just disrespected royalty. Excuse me sir/ma, you’re just a student like the rest of us o. And don’t even get me started on when they forward a voice note by 10PM that there's class by 7AM, and if you miss it, "you’re on your own." 😂 --- 🥹 SECONDARY SCHOOL FRIENDS? LOL. Before entering uni, I swore I’d always keep in touch with my secondary school friends. I had plans to visit each other, send voice notes, and be besties forever. Reality? I can’t even remember half of their surnames again. 😭 University will just swallow you like that. You think you’ll have time — but between assignments, survival, and washing plates you didn’t even use (thanks to your roommate), you forget the group chat even exists. 💔 --- 😵 LECTURE TIMETABLE IS A TRAP Uni timetable is like someone playing games with your life. Class by 7PM? Who invented that evil plan? Class cancelled after you’ve dressed, trekked 20 minutes in the sun and climbed 2 buildings? Yep. Or worse, that “unaware class” where you just see people rushing somewhere and you realize something is happening — and you missed the memo. 🙃 Then boom, they tell us “exam is Monday” on FRIDAY — like we don’t deserve preparation, just vibes and survival instinct. 😩 --- ⚡ THE STRUGGLES YOU NEVER EXPECTED Nobody told us about this part: No light for 3 days straight. No network unless you go and stand under that mango tree near the gate. 🙃 No water — so you wake up 5AM to go queue for it with your “keg squad.” 😭 Honestly, “Who send me come school?” crosses my mind at least once a week. --- 😑 HOSTEL WAHALA: PORTERS AND ROOMMATES Let’s talk about that annoying porter who acts like she owns the entire school. You come back late by 9PM (not even 10), and she’s shouting like you committed a crime. Ma, I just went to read o. And if your roommate is a busybody, then forget peace. She knows everybody’s business — including yours, even if you didn’t tell her. She’ll borrow your charger without asking, leave her hair all over the bathroom, and then gossip about you on the phone like she’s auditioning for Big Brother. 😩 --- 💔 OPPRESSION IS REAL Then there’s the oppression. You see people dressing like they came for fashion week while you’re just trying to survive on your ₦500 budget. Some girls don’t repeat outfits for two weeks straight — meanwhile, you’re rewashing your jeans at night like it’s sacred cloth. 😭 Their phones are iPhones. Yours is hanging when you try to check WhatsApp. Their wigs are 30 inches. Yours is struggling like it has seen things. 😭😂 --- 🧘🏽♀️ BUT SOMEHOW… WE MOVE! With all the madness, uni life still teaches you something: how to be strong, smart, and adaptable. You’ll laugh till your stomach hurts. You’ll cry into your pillow. You’ll meet people that change your life (both good and not-so-good ones). You’ll become you — just a little more mature, a little more tired, but a lot more powerful. 🩷 --- 💬 LET’S TALK! Are you in uni? Or have you been through this phase? Drop your most relatable, painful, or funniest campus experience in the comments. Let’s laugh, vent, and support each other. And if you felt this post, please follow me so we can grow on Read.cash together and turn all this uni pain into small small coins! 💸😂 --- Love & Light From your girl, [CHIDINMA🌹

I started my university life almost two years ago. When I first arrived, I had big dreams — I’ll do this, I’ll try that, it’s going to be amazing! But guess what? Reality hit me on day one — hard. 😩 Seniors started calling freshers to their rooms, and the fear set in real quick. Every single day I used to wake up and pray: “Allah, please don’t let them call me today.” Then, it happened — I actually got a fever. But it lasted only two days. Still, I kept showing that same medical report and telling everyone I was sick — for 15 days straight! 😂 Why? Because I was terrified of going to the seniors’ room! This was during my very first semester, and honestly, I was always in fear. “Will they call me today?” “What if they make me do something embarrassing?” Looking back now, it feels hilarious. I turned a 2-day fever into a 15-day excuse — all because I was scared of being summoned. 🤧➡️😂 "Sorry for the long comment, but your post really touched me and I felt like sharing my story too..."

This post is my autobiography 😭😭 especially the part about roommates borrowing your charger like it’s communal property. My own even returned it broken and acted confused 😂.
I thought it was only me that was in that field It's like I'm the only one with charger in that room 😭😭
