So first 2 weeks is the grace period. You get to know school, classes, people and leaders. I never attended those meetings myself. You meet new people, people from same primary and high school. Life seems sweet. First two days lazima tu ukule "mess" before you learn about food outlets around/out of school(unless you hang with a continuing student whose either a former high-school mate or a cousin).
You get lost a lot. But you can't ask around because you don't know want people to know you're a "fresha"😂.Heri ukule vector shule mzima lakini usiulize.There's this time I went to visit my high school pal in her hostel and the due time in a female hostel is 10pm. You need to Chuck by 10pm. I swear I looked for my hostel until 12.Nilikula PE sitawahi sahau. Luckily, I found my roommate with his friend and followed them.
Almost everyone lives in the hostel during their first year but there's this conversation everyone has with their parents. "Mimi staki kukaa shule. Nataka kutafta nyumba nje." But your parents somehow convince you to stay in school and promise that it's only for the first year. Life in the hostel isn't always easy. Sharing rooms and shower rooms kwanza😖.You also meet weird people. People who cook Omena at 12 when you want to sleep. Na unajua tu ile distinct smell ya omena. This are most likely people who are one year ahead and use coils cause university electricity is free. Those who crash in hostels because they ate their accomodation money and suffer the whole semester.
So you start attending classes and meet your lectures. Mostly they familiarise with you and introduce you a little to what they'll be taking you through. Then there's always that one person anakuanga na kiherehere anajieka class rep. like WTF🗣.You start missing classes saying "aah hii ni introduction tu." The moment you miss your first class in campus, there's no going back. Kwanza the 7am class. So you make friends with a guy who never misses class, huyo ndio anakuwa anakuupdate kama kuna CAT's, assignments and most important, kusigniwa attendance. But freshas are focused. In your first year semester1 you attend most classes and get A's in campus mostly from common units. Kutoka hapo, bora hauna retake, uko sawa. In the first 2 months, a Fresha's bash is organized🖖😩and this is what changes your perspective of everything in life. In your first months, you always make Stan friends. Mostly classmates/people you met around school. Maybe people who frequent Pool tables, PlayStation places, WiFi outlets. These are the friends who make decisions for you. They are a wave you can't resist.
The freshas bash is where you are initiated to campus. This is where you meet all kinds of people. Peddlers, thieves, addicts, cons, CIDs you know them. Huku ndio wale virgins wa kukula tako sasa wanarombosewa for the first time. Most people who attend them are 2nd and 3rd years to bait fresh females ("kuwateka"😂).it's usually held at night. First years always have nice phones and this is where the phones find their real owners. Some freshas even carry laptops. WTF🗣🗣!!!!!!!?????
Theft in campus is a norm and it's crazy. Kwanza in hostels, this is where your own roommate steals from you in plain sight. Good example; I know most have experienced this. You are two people in the room, only you two have the key, but something valuable like a laptop gets lost in your room but he says he wasn't there. All windows closed. Latch not broken. THIS NIGGA SET YOU UP!!!! Fuckin roommates.
The Bash you attend with your friends is the first time you ever tasted alcohol. I don't know why people always start with alcohol. You loved it and can't wait to do it again. Time passes. CAT 1 and 2,Exams and there that kabreak. That 2 weeks break after first semester. Home ripoti umepeana safi ndio usafishe rada because what you have been upto is just not "sayable" if that's a word😂😂.Besides the theft issue, life is smooth. There's this kalecture you get of how careful you should be with your things in school. And you always want to use this line "Si niliwaambia niishi nje" but they are your parents, they will "ALWAYS" be right. After the interlude, youre now going back to school. The two weeks are over.
This time you are familiar with most things. How the school runs. You start doing things differently. Less shopping, more new clothes and all that. This is the period where you attend less classes, have sex for the first time. Fall in love. Cheat. Start partying. Get a tattoo. Get a piercing. Start attending events. Try new drugs. Road trips. Get arrested. Black out. Late assignments. You start getting thinner, missing meals. No 7am classes.
Girls -->Leave the long dresses at home, start wearing tights, short dresses, buy make up kits and learn how to apply, tongue piercing, shagging on your safe days, nights out, dates, 3rd year boyfriends, confidence, make besties, try make up tutorials, start snubbing their male class mates because they are "freshas",fake double standards. (atleast this is what I've seen.)
Boys-->Fade hair on the sides, new clothes. Mostly black jeans and denim jeans and jackets. You learn turn ups. Buy floral shirts and vintage trousers. Pierce. Start wearing fake(knock-off) designer shoes and clothes. Buy cologne. Hang out in girls hostels. Make girl friends. Start betting. Look for a photographer friend(or get to know atleast one person who owns a camera). Start betting. Lame pick up lines. Ego(utadhani si yeye alikuja shule na Mahindi nusu gunia na omena first semester). Clubbing. Form a "keg and kaquorra chama".
You miss cats, stop studying, you hold a birthday Bash for the first time. Have an ex. Start smoking cheap weed but with time you upgrade. Go for photo shoots. Fail in CAT's. It's exam time and you haven't studied but you must pass. You look for a "formation".Usually it's how people sit in an exam room but in most cases, it fails terribly. I nearly forgot, most people loose their ID's both school and national during this time. Within a short time, you now know how to smoke, kaqworra is now not enough so you upgrade to a mzinga. You have a body count. You now know how to "piga looku" but your broke af😂😂(most buy those clad with all their money and even sleep hungry.)
Girls now know how to wear make-up (this is not for everyone though) I mean some of y'all look like clowns. Kwani unapaka the whole sijui ni mkebe ama set? Please, watch make up tutorials or learn from your friends. Usijiaibishe tafadhali. Light face, black finger knuckles, black neck, black shoulders, TF🗣🗣🗣🗣
You are done with exams and it's time to go home. But you crash at a friends place for like a week because after exams people have parties like every day so you call home and lie ndio uongezwe pesa. I don't know about y'all but first year was like the best time I've ever had in university 😩😂😂what do you really think I missed?? Leave it on the comment section........
