GOOD AS HELL


It is every parents dream for their kid to get education . It is more of a dream if their children join university (campus). Every child who has vision and mission , who is determined and passionate would like to join campus after high school . They always believe when one joins university ; their mentality grow and become mature , job opportunities knock on their doors when one graduates from university and they also get to live good life full of freedom escaping the 'slavery ' life in their parents' house . That is true , no lie .

Back in high during the Guidance and Counselling session , graduates from different universities came to mentor us on several issues and they always told us on the issue of how good campus is hiding the bad ones . They made us believe that campus is funny , no hustles , you eat the food you want , you do anything you wish to do but they then forgot to tell us that you do all those kinds of staff if you have money . It sounds funny . They only made us know of the positives hiding the negatives of campus. In our high school there is a statement they used to tell us ," work hard so that you can go enjoy life in university (good life ) ". They termed it as campus life .

Seeing is believing now I see the 'campus life' they were talking about .Living a life where all loan applications in your phone are the best friends ever , living a life when you friends sees a call from you , he/she knows 'jamaa wa kuomba pesa ndio huyo ' even if you you have something important you wanna discuss with them . It sounds funny .
The hardest challenge I ever faced in campus is money managing and money making .What you think is not what the money thinks . You think of saving the money , the money thinks of being spent . The good things being displayed in markets and shops wont allow you save the money you intended to .
Money making is another issue , the only job that a student can be trusted to do is a 2.5k monthly salary job . Its rare beyond that . As you all know getting employed goes with connection nowadays . Until now as am writing this am still unemployed . It sounds funny
Our university is located at the coast but the behaviours inside that institution are not coastal . Most students are from ' Bara ' and the upcountry people have a language that coasterians don't understand and its hard to adapt it  .The first time I joined campus , though the university is located at the coast my homeland but it seemed like I had joined a foreign university . It was hard for me to make friends with the sheng' people .
It sounds so ironical that even my fellow coast students don't want to be associated with the region .
The school system is itself ironical .People are becoming grandparents in universities with no hope of graduating only because they did not go for attachment , exam results not being displayed in the school system .The most part that I hate about university ,is a 2 years course taking me 5 years to graduate because of silly mistakes of lecturers misplacing my examination results
The best thing I love about university is that if you overcome all the challenges I have mentioned above , you become a better person
