Campus life is not an inch close to what you are led to believe in high school. Those students on teaching practice paint a most thrilling lifestyle but you are in for a shock. Well, if you have a sense of humour, you might still derive some fun from the misery of campus life.
You showboat to the entire village soon after receiving the admission letter. Clearly, with your brains, the commoners will need to book an appointment in order to see you in about in four years. You find that you just can't wait for the reporting day after you visit a cyber café to book your room through institution's booking portal that boasts majestic beds and cosy mattresses.
Would men be able to handle childbirth better than women??Your disappointment, however, begins right when reporting to school. After queueing for like an eternity, it is finally your turn to give your name and the photocopy of your bank slip only to be told that you have completed with the admission process. Can't they just ask the students to write their names and drop the slips at a central them off point instead of making them queue for hours on end?
Some roommates were cast from the heavens together with Lucifer but somehow beat the force of gravity to hell. With these devils around, you simply cannot have political, social or economic peace. The public TV-room soon becomes your bedroom every other night because one of their innumerable girlfriends or boyfriends is visiting. The self-imposed exile is way better than the scarring moans you have to endure. While you are not welcome to share in those spoils, your roommate gives you no room to enjoy the fruits of your labour as you juice becomes juice ya wageni. Then there are these campus boys who never prepare or buy their own meals. Their favourite phrase is "have you prepared supper?" Woe unto you if you are meek and fall these ticks. Who expect two meals for free; food and the forbidden fruit.
When you go to campus forget about the easy accessibility to the CBD especially if it is a county campus. Brace yourself for more than 20km drive to the town centre. Be wise and work smart if you want to survive in this hell hole.
