I wasn't sure I would be able to do anything today or submit an article because of my health. But that's not the story for today cause I don't wanna bore you with my health challenges. So let's get to the business of the day.

I walked into the lecture hall a few minutes before the actual time slated for the lectures. This was because I wanted to find a good seat in front to sit and receive lectures.
I had a fair share of headaches standing all through the first class, I wasn't cut out for a second time.
Yes, I didn't want the same thing to repeat itself again so I went to the hall an hour before the time for the class.
Little did I know that I still wouldn't find a seat in front but at least I wasn't at the back or standing either this time around. I found a good place in the middle quite close to the front to sit.
After settling for about a minute or two, I scanned through the hall, and immediately my eyes met with someone, my mind already told me I know her. And to confirm my curiosity, I noticed she smiled and even called my name.
She was just one row away from where I sat.
I had to get up and walked to her and try to exchange pleasantries since the class wasn't starting in an hour.

When I settled with her, we started exchanging greetings and talking about school, life, family, and general things about life.
She was my high schoolmate and I was so surprised when she smiled at me and greeted me.
In the cause of discussing and talking with her, she told me she saw me earlier before that time but I was very far away from where she sat.
And that was when we had the first class with people packed full in the lecture hall that some were even standing and some were outside because of the number of students.

She mentioned seeing me around and keeping an eye on me, so when I finally got into the lecture hall the second time that day, she had to turn and look back which was when my eyes met with hers.

In a normal situation, I would have thought she was a snub. I mean this was someone that I never spoke with when we were still in high school.
I can't tell who the problem was coming from. Perhaps because in high school we all had our pair of friends so not talking to the other pair doesn't make them a snub neither does it make us but I still thought she was until when we met in the lecture hall.

Judging Even Before Knowing

We all know the saying, don't judge a book by its cover.
We have all been victims of judging a person or some groups of people either from their appearance or attitudes even before knowing them or without having any ideas about who they truly are or what they are capable of doing.

My bad! for thinking the girl was a snub because of her appearance back then in high school.
I mean I was so wrong about her. Even those that I even thought weren't snubs became one after our graduation.
I do come across some on the road, school, market, or anywhere else, and yet they snub as if we had some kind of fight but I am never always bothered. Come on! Like what do I have to lose? Nothing! So them snubbing did not affect me in any way or whatsoever.

And here is someone I never thought of or I judged wrongly, being friendly and acting as though she knew me and of course she did. And for that simple act, I give her the accolades.
We sat together throughout the lecture but before then, we grabbed some snacks to keep our mouths busy😉😅
And it was really fun having someone to talk to.
We started asking each other questions in different courses of our discipline.
It was fun making fun of ourselves with most of the things we had forgotten and it was a good time all the same.

~Closing Thoughts

Not everyone we consider to be a snub is actually a snub. Some are just being themselves in normal circumstances, and until we get close to them and find out for ourselves their true nature then we should never judge them from afar or from the sideline.

In life, the people who may help you with one or two things might be those you least expected and it may be one of those persons you judged wrongly.
So be careful what you say about people and what you think of them.
Don't be so judgemental because, in the long run, your perceptions about them might be wrong and totally flawed.
Stay true to yourself and let others be themselves.

I am not sure you read from me today, so why not get back in here and do just that😉
