Let us all communicate.

Campus life is fazed by a myriad of activities. Everyday something new comes up and we always have to keep up with it. It’s very difficult in this time and age to know what is happening all around you. We are so engrossed in our mobile phones that at times life can just pass us by without noticing. We are either double tapping or scrolling. This is an outcry of how communication has been thrown out of the gutter because of these merciless phones that do not give people the chance to speak to each other. Ever sat down after meeting new people and felt out of place the second you introduced yourself. Not because you met new people but because you could not talk to anyone after since everyone was on their phones seemingly busy enough not to engage you in a talk. I wonder, really where did we go wrong in terms of communicating? Is it because we find it easier communicating with people who are not in close proximity or is it because it is easier texting than saying words? I sometim...

Call My Wife- The other side of the story

In the advent of tele marketing, apps, websites and all the technological advancements, we still do heavily rely on the traditional method of finding houses. That is, walking around looking for the “TO LET” sign.

Just to mention a few, cheaper, more bedrooms, more bathrooms, a compound, security and the lis...

The Life of a Campus Student

First year is always a haze. From all the excitement, buzz, zeal and generally fast paced activities, a first year is always a “fresha.” Fresh out of high school, still thinking of how university is an escape into a free world. Freedom is the first thing that they envision. Imagination takes the best of them considering they spent more than four months watching movies about sororities and all, so they come expecting that the hostels in campus will be all fun and games. The first shocker comes in when you are required to be bunk mates with other guys you hardly know. In high school, I bet it was easy to just walk around in your towel and rush to dry bath, however in campus, it gets difficult somehow. Probably because the girls’ hostel is just nearby and one or two will always come by the shower and stare at your bones. The booze, parties, night outs, meetups and what have you. Freedom is what they cried for and they get it in abundance. They go out when they want and only when...
