Hello amazing students in this great Blockchain. Welcome back to another week of excitement and I know we are all doing fine as students.
This image belongs to me.
For this week as students we want to hear from everyone what lies we have ever told ourselves that never worked. Hahaha 😂😂 I just had to laugh it out here because that was the first thing take came to my mind when I first saw this topic for week 25. I also believe that this topic was brought for a reason, maybe to help us know that we are humans and we should try to give rooms for failures Incase if we did not achieve our goals so that we can't be too hard on ourselves.
Have I ever told myself a lie? Hmmm! If I say no, I will be lying and if I say yes it will be the right thing to do because we have all done that in one way or the other.
The first time that I got admission into the university I told myself that I will come out with first class degree. Hahaha 😂 guys I am just laughing at myself now because back then I never knew how difficult it is to come out with 21 not to talk of first class. I thought it was something I can just pick on the road. Even with the frustration of your lecturers alone you will decide not to go for first class at the end. Guys it was when I started that I know that to be a student is not an easy thing especially in a country like Nigeria where the system has been killed. Once you are giving admission to study any course in the university, you start getting frustrating from that very day. From the very moment you start with accepting your admission and moving on to pay your school fees, you will start to go through problems. To Open your portal to make payments will not work. To go to your lecturer's offices for signing of documents is the worse because you can be coming to that office for the next two weeks and the lecturer will not be willing to see you. I don't even know what to explain to us to understand the pains of a Nigerian students.
These listed above and more made what I said I will achieve as a student become unachievable. So it sounded like I lied, but the system made me give up. At a time I just wanted to graduate and live the system, the grades doesn't matter to me anymore.
