Campus Freedom

Freedom! Simple word but has really played a bigger part in shattering dreams of many university students in Kenya today. What does the word really mean? I go with George Orwell’s definition as the right to tell people what they do not want to hear and of cause that’s why I am writing this so that maybe you may decide to choose which side you lay because we always have a choice.

After joining campus many students misuse freedom to an extent that it has lost its importance forgetting how our freedom fighters struggled to earn it. They believe they are free from rules and have a platform to try something new without supervision.

Of cause no one ever follows you around and ask why you aren’t attending classes, why you have bad company, why you go partying and how you wear as long as you are a student but while busy trying all this, time also keeps moving and before you realize,  it’s too late. Worse of all is watching your friends graduate. Let’s not show our level of stupidity since humans will always do anything to eliminate competition.
