AYEKOOTO: The Journey I Will Not Embark On Again (NYSC dreams)

SERIES A

(Dairy of a Final Year Student of The Osun State Polytechnic IREE)


By: Abidoye Thomas Ayobami

It’s final year- and I think have finally got the hang of this whole school things for awhile. You know what time you have to be at the library if you actually want a decent seat , you know which lectures are safe to miss (according to some of my friends, all of them), and you know the ins and outs of most of the buildings (apart from Motion Ground and Rectors Office), because you still can’t work out how to actually leave when the lecturer tells you to all leave from the back). You’re feeling pretty cool and confident about the whole thing.

Until i walk into my second semester of the last session in OSPOLY campus, and i realise- this will be my last first semester of the Polytechnic. Education. It should be noted that Until you start reflecting on your boring days with your pals, only to realise that this was likely to be the last ever full school memories that you will ever have.

This is final year, as in what-the-hell-do-I-do-after-this year. And once you come to that realisation, everything starts to hit home.

Because up until now, there’s always been some sort of plan. You leave school to go to primary . And you leave secondary school to go to Polytechnic. But what next? After a life of education with a relatively straightforward path, the prospect can be daunting, and we realise that adulthood, and real adulthood not the student fake adulthood that we’ve all loved living in for so long, is actually coming up pretty soon.

My greatest and only piece of advice is a sentence I’m sure we’re all only too familiar with and have heard countless times over the years from one relative or another, but nevertheless, it doesn’t make it any less true; *enjoy it while it lasts*.

Don’t panic about the future; it will come, one way or another. You can do everything that you possibly can to be prepared for it, but sometimes plans don’t always fall together the way that we intend them too. We might get our dream job straight away, or we might find something to put us on for a bit until we work out exactly what we dreams or tends to achieve.

Class 2021 HND2 Mass Communication will remain in my heart forever love you guys, SAMPACK I owe you a lot.

Mate: AYOBAMI 'kinni show' every aspirant were already shaking the table, it's only during election like this every aspirant become professor, masters every beat of English grammar to convince electorate. Student Union Governments were established in various institutions of higher learning to promote unity, orderliness and smooth relationship between students, school authorities and the state or Federal Government. It is unfortunate that most SUGs in Nigerian Polytechnics do not know the key objectives for which they were established.  This is why some student governments see the freedom they enjoy as an opportunity to cause mayhem and anarchy in their institutions. It is true that there are legitimate issues  of poor service and maladministration for which students should feel genuine...
