364 days ago 2013 started, it showed a lot a lot of
promises. I can still remember the countdown at the cross over service, the
happiness and smiles on the faces of those around me and the way I felt. It felt
like I had just overcome an obstacle by entering into the New Year. I decided
to enjoy the moment, the sound from the bangerz outside and people shouting and
not think about what the year would bring. Such beautiful memories. Just as I am
writing this right now I can see fireworks from my window, how cool is that? Ok,
back to the story, 2013 has given me good memories and bad memories but I’m
just grateful for both. The year started really nice, like what most people do I
wrote down goals for the year, hoping I’ll achieve most of them, I did
actually. I moved into the hostel at the beginning of year and I made the most
wonderful friends ever. Hostel life was fun even though I did have some fights
with my roommates. It was my first time living alone without any supervision and
I think I did it right. Thumbs up for me! Valentine came and it was very
special, I’m not going to tell you about it *wink* just know it was really
special, there was wine and cake and good loving, you know what I mean. Now time
for my little mistakes to set in. I concluded my first year with a G.P of 4.0
so I had that silly thought in my head that 200 level was going to be just that
easy. I guess I didn’t study hard enough and took it all for granted. My 200
level 1st semester results were out and they were not good. I had
really dropped and that made me feel really bad. I have never failed a course
in my life so it was really devastating. I couldn’t even tell my friends or
family about it. Most of the nights I cried myself to sleep. My year had just become
bad at that point; I felt like a dumbass and decided to cut back on stuff. I think
that period when I got my result was the worst time of the year of me. And
yeah, I forgot to tell you that I turned 18 this year and I celebrated it in
grand style like a boss that I am. You won’t believe if I tell you I’m already
planning my 19th birthday, lols. Another interesting part of this
year has been the ASUU strike. Have you ever been bored of being bored? All thanks
to ASUU I know how that feels. I won’t bore you by telling you how the strike
treated me. Another detail I forgot to add was that I got a new nephew
Arron-Jordan whom I live so much. He’s going to be 5 months in a few days J
Anyways in November I left for Ghana, and I’m still here. Ghana has been a
whole new different experience for me, it’s been awesome actually and I’m glad I
decided to spend Christmas here. It’s the end of another year and I’m grateful
to God for seeing me through it. I’m sure you were prolly expecting a juicy
story on how the year went, what happened to whom and how? But no, that’s not
what I’ve decide to write about. I know most of us had goals that we didn’t achieve,
we made mistakes we hoped not to. We may have even lost friends that we thought
would be there for me forever but shit happens and there’s nothing we can do
about that. Choose faith not frustration. As we cross over to 2014, I want us
all to have that faith that will enable us correct and achieve all we couldn’t this
year and even more. Don’t choose frustration, don’t choose to sit and wallow in
anger for all that happened. Accept and move on be happy. I know the mistakes I
made this year, I’m grateful I did because now I’ve learnt a lot that will see
me through 2014 and I hope not to make the same mistakes again and I plan to do
better and achieve more in 2014. I hope you all had a good year, merry Christmas
and happy new year in advance.
