THE MOST DREADED DAYS ARE HERE.....

“school sweet, na exam dae always spoil am”

Two weeks!

For two weeks now, I haven't written to you 😔

You're probably thinking that I forgot all about you here…

Was it due to dinner preparations?

Or that I was caught up with departmental week? Final year week planning? Exams preparation?

Well, everything I listed here - and more - were the things that actually happened.

But I apologize for leaving you alone..

Now,

If there's anything you're thinking of right now, I'm sure one of it is the fact that you have so many things to cover for each course in preparation for the coming exams.

I mean,

It seems like these lecturers barely taught us anything, but where these materials are coming from, we don't know.

Maybe it's because of the events and all, even I don't know 🤧

To make things worse, we are being asked to pay for everything!

For example, I've only bought two textbooks since year 1, but a lecturer is literally giving marks for buying, and I'm left with no choice.

As if it's not enough, different materials here and there, money for docket, money for this, money for that, see, it is well 🥹

One thing that keeps me going right now is GOD.

Plus this is my last semester in UNILAG!🥹

....

I actually wanted to cry while writing this….

Long before I became president, I anticipated a moment like this. Now I'm happy. And maybe sad too.

I'm happy that I'm leaving here, and sad that I'm leaving you!

But let's not make this about me, even though I want to. I mean, I've heard so many people say I've done so well as President and that I have a good personality.

As much as I don't let people decide these things, I really love hearing it from everyone here. It's a great feeling, sometimes.

Back to this exam thingy,

I started this mail with a line from a former lecturer of this great department, perhaps the most loved one too, Dr Sam Ejiwunmi.

“school sweet, na exam dae always spoil am”

I'm sure you'd agree with this line, especially with all the draggings, parties and events in the last few weeks!

My hack has always been GOD + confidence.

See, don't let anyone lie to you, GOD is real and you can trust in HIM.

That's where you now get the confidence. Of course you'd read, but you need to always maintain your steeze and composure 😉

And this exam period, please eat well! Omo, I don't know how to reiterate this, I can't emphasize it enough but eat well.

You'd be so stressed, drained and tired. But make sure to eat good food. It'd help.

Also, if you can, avoid your class group chat. They'd all have conflicting thoughts about your thoughts.

More often than not, they're wrong (personal advice)

So, just read your stuff and check the announcement channels to stay updated.

Last but not the least - Make sure you check up on your friend(s) and vice versa before exams, so no one sleeps off especially after long hours of reading through the night, (the department is opened for overnight reading by the way).

Now, Onto the very last thing

Drumrolls 🥁🥁🥁🥁

MCSA DINNER! 🥹

This is quite emotional because that's when I'd be bidding y'all my final goodbye. Get your tickets, slay in your best attire, just like you'd slay your exams!

My friend, you can do this! Put GOD first, slay your exams, prepare for dinner and let's call it a session! 🚀

Till I write to you again, Dearest Communicator…

Stay jiggy 💪

Your fav President,

S. Seyifunmi
