TYPES OF CAMPUS STUDENTS

The analogue 

Those who never yield to pressure and live up to the vow they made to their parents and villagers. The digitals call them sisters or brethren. If you cannot trace such a person in his room on a weekend night, find out where a fellowship, Bible study or other church activity is taking place. They will do the group assignments with or without the other members. They are too innocent to snitch.

The genuinely undecided batch

The second bracket is genuinely undecided; they are never sure what to believe and what to discard, what to do or what to let go. They are eternally vague and more often than not could easily be swayed by any type of wind. Literally, they are the following suit, dubious sort, ready to jump on the bandwagon. All that brews in their mind is what is Nelly up to?
The digital bracket I had always misconceived the contextual meaning of this word whenever comrades used it in their vocabulary until the other day that I realized the word exuded a new meaning in town, call it a connotative signification. These are the people whose constitution boldly stipulates that ‘traversing a weekend in your hostel is a taboo’ and you would only be allowed to infringe the rule on condition that you host a ‘friend with benefits’. You would leave lips asunder in dismay simply because you slip between the sheets every night of the calendar.

The party lovers

For them, the value attached to Friday is just palpable if not conspicuous. Messages like ‘form ni gani?’ ‘mpango ni upi?’ and ‘is how?’ on Friday evening are a trademark and they are ‘pros’ at deciphering the meaning. They tend to have a ‘nose for funkies’, kadunda, Mr. and Miss Campus and the rest. They are the kind of guys who will come with their weekend hangovers and bellow at the analogues, “I’ve got a lot of stuff in my head and assignment is not part of them!” before throwing a 20bob or 10bob coin to cater for printing cost.

I never comprehended the difference in the four assortments of students in Campus until I landed in the University with a difference; the only place where you can crack your puzzles irrespective of their magnitude.
