Hi students of hive, I'm Abeegail, welcome to my blog. This actually my first time posting in this community. So a little introduction. I'm a teen, I like reading, writing, researching. I write poems and on rare occasions, short stories too. I love music and sleep a lot. I'm an introvert and I won't go out until it is necessary and unavoidable. I'm a little bit excited because I just got admitted into a university. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions because I know how many times I had to apply and all the struggles I had to face. I have spent over three years at home now, my mates are probably doing their final year but I feel it all according to GOD'S plan.
I took some shots of the Admin building
I choose UNIUYO— University of Uyo, mostly because it's in my home state— Akwa Ibom, and because my siblings finished there and they would be able to show me the ropes. I love the feeling of being back after staying in another state all my life, I'm learning new things about my culture and where I came from. After all the struggles I am a glad to say I am an undergrad. I'm glad to say that after so many trials and error I have now been admitted into school and I'm very happy, because most of my friends they are already in different levels. It was a different kind of sadness I used to feel when I was still at home and I know my friends are making progress on their educational status. I did even know how relate with most of my friends from secondary school because most of the times we really have nothing much In common to talk about, especially now that they are in a different space.
I've heard so many say " why are you even rushing to go to school sef, school is stressful oooo, enjoy your time now." I hear this a lot and to some extent it is, because there's no one to guide you or give assistance, you are now on your own. I even had to drop my introversion, approach people, and ask questions about things I'm not to sure about or things my siblings didn't shed light on. From what I've gathered and seen, university is quite different from secondary school or high school where you have timetable and you know what you are doing with your time but here there's so much freedom, nobody coordinates you, you are now responsible for yourself and must make sure you accordingly. The change is so drastic when we've been used to guidance and when you are given that type of freedom there's a high chance that you get high on it and miss your way.
Everything seems overwhelming and I'm just trying to adapt. The school land is very vast, I missed my way a couple of times, I used to think that before but when I look at the amount of students that have been admitted I feel it's not enough space from the amount of students in the school. Having lecture with over five hundred other students. All I can say is it hard being new is very hard especially in a very big community, it's like every one is in on a funny joke except you.
A very big congratulations 🎉 to me as I step into this new phase of life and as I try to adapt. You can also help share a thing or two about life in university, thanks.
It's still Abeegail ✨💗

Congratulations on taking this important step. It's normal to feel a little lost right now, but you have the resources to adapt. You'll get there, I'm sure. And then you'll start to enjoy yourself. I remember my university years as one of the best times of my life, and I hope they will be the same for you. Above all, be yourself. 😘
Thank you for the advice.
And I hope I enjoy my time in school too
I just can't wait for it to get better
