Diary of a college dork

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

  No matter where we are, good or sad memories must be made. This blog post will walk us through 10 of the funniest university experiences. University life may have its ups and downs. It's been a while, welcome back to naijacollegedork. Since humor is often what keeps people going, we aim to incorporate it into each and every one of our blog entries. If you're reading this, we hope that every image or piece of writing that leaves this blog will make you grin.Retighten your seatbelts as we embark on a funny journey through the funniest experiences we had while working in our ivory towers. 1. the typical eating procedure: J: My feeding schedule, which went something like this, was the predominant memory I have of my time in college.  BEGINNING OF SEMESTER: On a regular basis, jollof rice, chicken, and hollandia MID-SEMESTER FOODS: custard, cornflakes, and cookies SEMESTERS END: Garri triumphs.   2. handicapped anger  R:  My freshman year is in its first semester, and the weather

  It was through a mutual friend that I met her, a captivating girl named Oo. From the moment we connected, there was an undeniable spark that ignited between us. We laughed together, shared stories, and our conversations flowed effortlessly. Oo had a magnetic personality that drew me in. Her smile could light up a room, and her wit was razor-sharp. I was mesmerized by her charm and found myself falling deeper with each passing day. But as our connection grew, I couldn't help but notice a subtle shift in our dynamic. Oo came from a high-class background, and I began to feel like more of a "gist partner" than a potential partner. She seemed content with our light-hearted banter and casual companionship, while I longed for something more substantial. Caught in the crossroads of emotions, I found myself torn between pursuing a serious relationship with Oo or exploring the talking stage I had put on hold. The uncertainty gnawed at me, leaving me feeling vulnerable and questio

Welcome, one and all. This is the long-promised and eagerly anticipated meme drop. This will be the first of many, and it can be seen as a valuable addition to our very few titbits and side quests 1. when attendance isn"t compulsory for a course. 2. university is most times a maze of academic confusion, don" t ask me about school send me money!   3. medical students in university can totally relate to this. 4. thank you unknown undergraduate student, your works are aptly remembered. 5.  preparing a PowerPoint presentation few hours to the deadline can make one jittery, and things like these happen   6.  the beginning of a semester can come with it"s baggage of assignments and most times the workload overlaps. 7.  then the dreaded deadlines and submission times, keeping undergrads walking on eggshells. 8. when your lecturer puts nothing up on the projector and thinks you"re seeing the slides. 9. problem is you'll still get called. 10. like the fear of failure. 11

Yesterday, money went in and out, bets were placed, and debts were racked up. There are many philosophies and concepts that have circulated both before and during the day of love, all of them are for love.  A group of individuals strengthened their faith in love by giving and receiving gifts from one another. There was also the steadfast "awwn" community, which was always present to congratulate, feed, and collect from engaged couples.  Then there are those like us who behave as though yesterday never occurred. We believe a day will be forced out of the existential plane if its existence is denied.  In today's post-Day Valentine's scoop, some folks share their tales of finding or losing love on the holiday.  All of them desire anonymity, thus just their initials will be used. Please don’t laugh, yours is on the way 😂 R: On Valentine's Day, my college boyfriend broke up with me, but he still bought me flowers and candies. He claimed he wanted the items for me so I

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 tur
