Buildup to my first college election experience.

-


Welcome to February, known as the month of romance and love 🫢. The most unexpected event occurred at the beginning of this month: elections for student representatives at my university.

This is a significant departure from the way the school usually conducts nominations, and it's an attempt to give students a sense of what elections and politics are like at a university.

How do I feel about it? I think nominations are far better since they save us the anxiety of the majority picking the wrong choice. 
I recognize the value of democracy overall, but there have been instances where it hasn't been fully effective. The contestants were quite interesting and presented a variety of manifestos and ideas. I learned about projects and teamwork, among other things.

 Personally, I'm at a loss. Voting is important to me, and I want to be able to select a deserving and debatably qualified candidate for the position. 
However, it appears like I will have to experiment and see how it turns out. 

Elections are on the fourth of February, the decisions will still be tumbling about in my head till that day of reckoning.

I'll be writing about memes in my upcoming posts, followed by one on my top 10 songs and new music.

Until then 
Au revoir

    Unfortunately, that's how voting works. You never get rid of the anxiety or the feeling of regret if you eventually realise you didn't choose a good enough candidate for the office, that should, but it doesn't have to stop you from voting. We all have a voice and as long and you believe in your candidate and know where you stand, ponder on the manifestos and most especially listening to your gut, they'll be nothing to regret

Has it actually been a year?!

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

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

Let's Get Pensive: A Look at My Most Scribbled Scribbles.

 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 are what you allow to be stronger  Than the multiple lives you hav
