FRIENDSHIP: EMOTIONALLY AND FINANCIALLY

source

When I first gained admission into the university, although it was not my first time leaving home because I attended a girls only boarding throughout my secondary school, it felt new to me because I would be on my own going to an entirely different state to meet new faces.

Then we received several pieces of advice from parents and family friends on how to behave well in the higher institution because we would meet several kinds of people both good and bad. The popular advice of "remember the daughter of who you are" and to focus on our studies was said into our drawn ears.

On getting to the university, it was quite lonely at first because I was trying to settle in and do the necessary registrations so as not to get caught up in deadlines and so on. In the cause of attending classes I started getting familiar with most of my classmates and students from other departments whom we were borrowing electives from. I also got to meet some of my old secondary school mates and even lived together in the same hostel. You would think these guys would be my best friends in the long run but reverse was the case.

In the first semester, we had a cousre called theater workshop, this was where I met a girl called Mercy, she was nice and caring and still is. As an introvert, I found it hard to mingle almost immediately but when we connected as friends I started communicating with other members of the department.

Even after graduation we kept in touch till we did our master degree together at the university of Ibadan. Right now she has traveled out and we still keep in touch. I remember all the good times we shared together while in school. When we were sick we would stay over at each other's place to take care of each other. One time I was at the hospital and she was there throughout.

As my friend for years, she has impacted my life emotionally and financially, which I do not take for granted.

This is my participation in the @hivestudents community weekly contest, to join in check through this link

Please, share with us how this friendship has impacted your life, academically, emotionally, financially, and spiritually. Do you still keep in touch after graduation, and for those who haven't, do you think that after you graduate, you are still going to keep in touch?

Thanks for stopping by my blog...
