When I joined campus, I had every intention to live my best life because you know, rule number one, you gotta have fun!
Luckily for me, my experience was better than I ever imagined. I never thought I’d do half the things I did in a span of four years and it all started when I met three girls who would later change my life forever. I can’t really talk about my uni days without mentioning these girls cause boy have we been through it all.
I don’t mean to exaggerate but even though all we did was the usual campus kids shenanigans, when it happened to us something bat-shit crazy always went down. You know, from the late night adventures, getting arrested in town because someone didn’t do her research on city park, house parties we hate to talk about because what happens in Rongai stays in Rongai, skipping classes to go on dates because we were once more in love than Ciara’s baby daddy, having the time of our lives at concerts we swore we would never go to and oh, how could I forget our Memphis escapades! π
Apart from getting an education, we lived our wildest days and had many firsts together, but it was with the same energy that we grew and leveled up. Each one of us. I for one learnt from them things I wouldn’t have learnt any other way. I watched Wambo fight and achieve her goals all so resiliently. She made her way to the top in a male dominated field. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t look up to her because I’ve never met someone more passionate.
Joyce taught me self awareness and preservation. She taught me how to speak my mind and to do so unapologetically. It scares me how calm she is in situations where I’d be throwing hands. And Olivia? So gifted and selfless. She stands with us when we’re not tall enough, and she will love you into loving yourself. She taught me that nobody is above me and helped me become the best I could be.
Basically, I went looking for copper and found gold!ππ Four years later, so many lessons learnt, met the most amazing people, made mistakes of my own and came out a better person, survived law school, lived the life and got hella amazing besties. What more could a girl ask for?
