Long Way Home

The last lap is the toughest and somehow still, the easiest. Eight semesters in college and this one is without a doubt the most tasking academically, emotionally and socially. Not physically thank God. I'm looking good. LOL

In as much as it has been a tough semester, it has also been the semester that it has been easiest to cope with the toughness...if that makes any sense! Basically I'm learning to handle the undesirable parts of this semester, and I think I'm handling it well.

I was just spacing out in my head and I realized what a long semester this is! It ends in June as far as I am concerned cause I'm staying for summer school and there is hardly a break between this semester and the summer semester.

I'm suddenly grateful I got to go home for Spring Break. No way I would have stayed in this school January to June without losing my mind! And even now... I don't know how I'mma do it.

God is going to have to get me through this one! I have a long way home.

The "Anti-female" behavioral trait

You know how people are "antisocial"? I just realised I'm anti-female.

"What the heck does that mean?" you have probably asked yourself. Don't worry, I'll tell you.

What do antisocial people do? They don't socialize. They are the weird person who is quiet in a group of people, the one people will either ask "are you okay? Join in, will you?!" or totally ignore because they can't deal with that.

So on that note, an anti-female person like myself is antisocial in a group of females. Deep but that's what my head says so I'm going with it. Makes sense anyway. Where there is more than one female I am not close to (and I am close to like four females excluding my mum), I recoil. I am quiet, careful to speak and generally uninterested in whatever is going on.

I don't know why it's like that but it is what it is! 

4 Years Gone...Still Missing My Angel

The good die young. No kidding.

It's still so weird to talk about her, having to remember her, knowing that I'll never see her again.
This is no case of glorifying the dead.
She was a TRUE angel.
Beautiful inside and out,
Amazing mother and wife.
Also the best aunty a teenage girl could ever ask for!

I wish I could rewind time
Back to the last day I saw her
And I would tell her not to go to work that day
I would tell her about the accident that would claim her precious life
Anything to stop her, anything not to lose her

But God knows best why he called her back
With all the bad things happening in our world
It makes sense she isn't here to see them
My angel is back in heaven now
And I know she is forever watching over me.

RIP Violet Mbakwe Nwakibu.
I miss you and I love you...
But God loves you more :*

Goodbye Twitter!

I finally packed up my Twitter house.
I couldn't live there anymore.
My neighbors got tiring
And the visitors alarmingly annoying
I realized I don't want to be updated on people's lives...
I don't really care!
Those that matter, I will go looking for
And those who want to know what is up with me
Well, they will come to find out!
People's stupid opinions on stuff
I no longer want to see on my phone
I thought I would miss it
But I certainly do not!
Goodbye Twitter...
We'll see again when I'm famous and I need to open one for the fans! LOL

RIP Nabila (Show Compassion)

“Compassion will cure us more than condemnation will”

Do you know what a community means?

Its a group of people living together in one place, especially one practicing common ownership.

Don’t you think schools are communities? 

From January to May, during summer school and from August to December

We, AUN, we are a community.

We share something in common

And that is simply being a student of American University of Nigeria.

In a community, people celebrate and mourn together.

When it’s someone’s birthday, birthday wishes pour in. 

Blackberry, bless that little device.

On my birthday, so many had me up as their display pictures.

So when a member of our community passes on

Would it kill us to show a little compassion?

You didn’t have to like her or be best friends with her

As long as you knew her

You’ve passed her in cafeteria,

Talked to her on the way to a class,

Hell, even rolled you eyes at her for something she did to you!

We knew her. And now she is gone.

That is all that matters.

Use this day to say a little prayer for her.

You don’t know what she was going through

You don’t necessarily know what circumstances surround her death

All we do know is a member of the AUN community left us today

The least you can do is wish her a peaceful rest.

P.S There is a prayer for her memory in Washington Hall by 7pm. 

RIP Nabila. Gone too soon.
