WHAT I DIDN’T QUICKLY REALISE ABOUT GRADUATING

Okay, I don�t actually know where to start from but approaching the last phase of the past 4 years is beginning to hit hard. Transition is really crazy. Not just transition but adaptation. Adapting for the beginning part was challenging but doesn�t seem as challenging as this one.

Getting used to the whole 100 level drama was quite easy because I mean there was always a second plan in my head, run back home but I didn�t. I evolved in my own slow way. I wish I took time to relax and not overthink things, everything actually turned out fine.

WHAT I DIDN�T QUICKLY REALISE

You know that this next phase, I can�t up and leave; I can�t say I�m running back home. You�d think of NYSC, getting a job, getting married, having children, being fulfilled and satisfied. This is where all those messages you have been hearing, either in church or mentorship programs begin to play in your head. The whole �finding your purpose in life� thing. I guess it�s at the final stage that we begin to wonder if the whole working in a bank thing will work out. Or being that lawyer or engineer. The earlier you find out what next the better for you.

There is a funny chain of events that we have in our heads. Let me let you in. go through education, all levels; finish with a good grade and graduate. Get a job, make money, get married, have children, carry on with your life; retire, and rest. Then, when you are old, watch your children do the same. Have their own children and then, you continue to grow old and then as God wills, die.

There is that part of you too that yearns for the fulfilment, that wants to say yes, I worked for this stuff, I earned it, I made things happen, they will hear my name and things like that� my question is how does that happen? What brings it to life? Don�t ask me I don�t know what to tell you, don�t ask me if I know what mine is either, my problems are different. Those motivational books and messages won�t tell you what your purpose is they will only tell you what purpose is and how to find it�

Getting on track to feeling that fulfilment at the end is my problem. Local woman has many plans but then how to pick one and start is a big issue. Fear of how things will turn out is another issue but then, I have �A Very Present Help�. So, let�s just transition.

If you hear and listen to some plans that most of my friends have, I don�t know what to describe them as. I heard one of my friends speak and I just wondered why I have been so slow. It goes beyond speaking now, a lot of different people have achieved a lot, not even friends now but age grade and local woman is with a laptop typing�

See me, I know I have been looking at them at their big plans and achievement and I have distracted myself a lot. Now, I am focused on mine� looking forward. Obviously, they were where I am at now and they pushed through. Some people don�t have plans or at least have thought about planning but have not gotten one. I think I have one or two in my bag�
