Diary of a college dork

 The Day We Took T’s Ram to the Fight  Hey dorks, it"s another session and we"re b ack again. or rather I am back again with my memories,whimsical romance sections and hilarious memes.  It's funny how the memories of our teenage escapades linger, as if wrapped in a soft layer of nostalgia. Back in secondary school, life in our suburban corner of Lagos was a whirlwind of laughter, mischief, and the occasional absurdity—like the time we decided to take T’s dad’s Ileya ram to a ramfighting competition. Spoiler alert: it didn’t go as planned, but oh, what a story it turned out to be! It was one of those typical afternoons when the sun hung lazily in the sky, casting long shadows on our street. My friend E and I had just wrapped up another day of school, our brains swimming in equations and essays that felt worlds away from the chaos that awaited us outside those gates. E's house was my second home, a place where we’d kick back, share jokes, and strategize our next big adv...

 Hi guys, and welcome to naijacollegedork romance. few days prior to this, I received a random email, my eyes widened as I perused it and they kept getting wider. today for the first time I will be tendering a reader's downhill love travails  on our platform.  Enjoy. Dear naijacollegedork, I never imagined I would be writing to you, but I feel so lost and confused that I don't know where else to turn. I'm in university and in a relationship that feels like a never-ending nightmare. My boyfriend, G, is older and, on the surface, seems perfect—mature, responsible,stable and focused on his studies. . But beneath this exterior lies a deep flaw that is destroying our relationship. G doesn’t joke or take things lightly, ever. When we first started dating, his maturity was one of the things that attracted me to him. I thought I had found someone who would take our relationship seriously and provide stability. But now, his seriousness is suffocating. He never laughs or finds joy ...

 Hey guys. Now we’re going to veer off a bit off the regular romance and comedy and interviews to do a one-off special.   It's not the usual path,  but hey,  who says creativity needs to be confined.  Today,  we're diving headfirst into... my poetry!  Buckle up,  because this isn’t the usual blog fare. I love penning down feelings other than blurting them out, and the feelings can be anything; growing old, being cold, even the good old mold on bread. You saw what I did there? 🐸.  Without much dillydallying, let’s proceed.  MEADOWS by Olajuwon olaleye  One day, our smiles will leave our faces One day, we will stare with empty gazes With the absence of familiar faces, Leaving us to fix our longing gazes Right where the cattle grazes.  Life with a smile by Olaleye Olajuwon  From the high grounds to the lowlands I have never had a mediocre encounter Approach life with a smile,don’t engage in the banter  Your demons ...

Welcome back to NaijaCollegeDork Romance. Last time, we left off with me caught in the emotional whirlwind with Oo. But things took a turn when I met K. It all started with a glance across the room. K"s smile was like sunshine, and I couldn't resist the urge to talk to her. But my approach wasn't smooth; I stumbled over my words and probably came off as more of a flirt than I intended. Despite my initial charm, I struggled to maintain a genuine connection with K. She noticed my inconsistency and lack of depth, calling me out on my behavior. For instance, there was a time when she was going through a tough time with her family, and instead of being there for her, I brushed it off with a joke and changed the subject. Our relationship felt like one of Bnxn"s tunes: upbeat and catchy on the surface, but with deeper layers of emotion and struggle underneath. There were moments of joy and laughter, but also moments of doubt and confusion. Our relationship was a rollercoaste...

Time has this uncanny ability to slip through our fingers like sand, doesn't it? It's been eons since my last blog post, and oh, how the world has spun in that time. Theories were tested, boundaries were broken, and I've found myself on a rollercoaster ride through the complexities of teenage and young adult life. Let's start with the university grind. Balancing academics, social life, and personal well-being is a lot. Choosing what to eat can feel like a monumental decision in itself, not to trivialize anyone's experience. But hey, that's the whole model of our blog, right? So, let's dive in. Finding that elusive balance in university life is key to making the most out of it. Maximizing the measly 24 hours we're given (seriously, can we get an upgrade on that?) is a daily struggle, and I've learned this the hard way. The best advice I can offer is to just do it and make every moment count. Now, onto the lighter stuff. Late last year, I decided to gi...
