What kind of mess have I gotten myself into?? ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

How do I fix this catalogue of Carry-overs at the onset of my legal journey?? ๐Ÿ˜–

How will I explain to my parents that the money they had borrowed to pay my fees has only ended up in futility?? ๐Ÿ˜ญ

How do I cope with a result as bad as this just at the beginning of my Legal Journey?? ๐Ÿ˜“

My second semester exam is in few days and I am yet to cover a chapter of my textbooks ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Ibiene.....What have you done to yourself...Ahhhh ๐Ÿ˜ž


She kept pondering on these thoughts as she inattentively walks along the pathways beside the hostel


Seems my world has crumbled already ๐Ÿคฆ

There's actually no hope for me again ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

What will be of my career, my dreams, my legal aspirations ๐Ÿคง

How do I face my parents? How do I explain to them that their once brilliant daughter had only turned up to be a disappointment? ๐Ÿ˜ซ


But what really happened to me??

I used be a serious and a brilliant student, during my secondary school I represented my school at both the state and the national level and I was awarded the best student during the Competition.

I did very well in my WAEC, JAMB, the Post Utme Screening and was admitted to study Law.

Having being this successful, I thought my legal aspiration was already a dream come true, never knew it was just the beginning of the accomplishment of my dream ๐Ÿ˜ž


I became the Class Rep. of my class and with time I became choked and engaged with so many activities and this marked the beginning of my predicament ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

While others were learning and studying, I was compiling and arranging the names of those who have paid for each of the textbooks of the lecturers, yet this same textbooks I never read. ๐Ÿ˜–


While others were learning, I was attending political meetings, campaigns and summits. This made me skip essential classes, lectures and so many tests. I was building a name and letting my Academics diminish ๐Ÿ˜ญ


I lost priority. I was after positions and appointments and became too engaged that I couldn't concentrate on the main reason while I was there. I lost balance, wrong companies, wrong friends, wrong decisions. Some senior colleagues whom I thought were there to guide us were even the ones misleading us, Indeed not all Senior colleagues are genuine and serious with their studies ๐Ÿคง


I couldn't balance affection and academics, I couldn't make good use of my time. David whom I was hanging out with, made a First Class and was awarded a Scholarship as the best student. Ahhhh What a World ๐Ÿ˜ซ


I have been foolish all this while. The Faculty officer has warned me that If I don't sit up this semester, I may be withdrawn from the programme.

What do I do??? ๐Ÿ˜ž

Two days to exam, Can I really make it??

If only I can turn the hands of time, I would cut myself from bad company, set clear priorities, Avoid wrong advice, Dis-engage myself from frivolities and concentrate on my study ๐Ÿคฆ


Though it may be late, but it isn't over.


She stopped a taxi and zoomed off
