My Dating Experience : My First Love 2

After spending few months with my elder sister that lives on her own, I got admission into the university. I was so excited but had no idea what to expect; the thought of being in another state for four years made me nervous but luckily I wasn’t alone, my brother got admission there as well. Since I didn’t have a space in the hostel yet, I had to crash at a childhood friend’s place and my bro did the same- there was no boys’ hostel, just girls hostel.


As I began my registration, I wondered if my boyfriend got admission as well and when I get to see him - his number was not reachable so there was no way to reach him. You know that feeling where you are dying to see someone and when the time is fast approaching you don’t want to see them just yet? That was how I felt. I always like to know the outcome of something before it happens and if I don’t, I just get nervous and stress about it. Anyways, after doing general registration, the next phase was departmental registration and as I sat outside, I saw him. He walked passed me with a male and female friend but he didn’t see me. After going days without seeing him, he wasn’t on my mind that day and I wasn’t expecting to see him. I watched him as he passed me by and didn’t want him to see me.

After a few hours, he came back to where I was doing my registration and we met. He still looked cool and suave as always, I fluster each time I see him but try really hard to hide it.

Before we met at the main campus, we had a little misunderstanding on the phone about how he barely called but as we saw each other we let it go and began to catch up. He also explained why his number was unreachable; his phone battery died. So he asked for my number because I used a call center to call him most of the time. It was really nice seeing him and I didn’t know what to expect. It was really exciting starting this chapter in my life -being away from home and meeting new people

The day was a weekday, so we planned to see the day after which was a school day, and since i was through with my registration, I followed him to his lodge. He was squatting with his friend at the time, so we talked, had a few make out sections. His friend’s girlfriend stopped by and he introduced me as his wife and she said “where is the ring?” and we both laughed it off. The way she acted, it didn’t seem like she was happy to see me. I didn’t know why at the time but I found out it was because she thought he was into his best friend/her boyfriend’s cousin and they had no idea I existed before the introduction. The cousin was the female friend I saw him with when he walked passed me during my registration; I found out later. And guess what? I had a crush (well admired him) on his best friend before I met him, so it was a little awkward when I met him and I hoped it won’t be a problem.

I got to meet his friends and their girlfriends and lodge mates. Though I’m a likeable person, I love to be on my own most of the time and have few friends I am really close to.  His friends’ girlfriend was a terrible cook but each time I cooked, they were all interested .One weekend I was with the guys and looked at their photo album (I suspected it was the guy I had a crush on before i started my prescience program but I wasn’t sure),I saw an old photo of him with an afro and the shirt he wore the day I saw him and that was how I confirmed he was the one. As a free spirited person, I told the guys that I had seen him (my boyfriend’s best friend) before and that I admired him, I didn’t know it was going to be used against me someday. They all laughed and he was like; “really? Wow, small world, how come I didn’t see you” and I said “I don’t know…it happens “.
I thought it was the end of the awkwardness but it was just the beginning. I said it because I was in love with my boyfriend and I was being free with the guys. Anyways, things were going good for us; I finally got a space in the hostel and he got his own place and a roommate. I spent some weekends with him, cooked for him and his friends. I met his best friends’ cousin and she was nice to me but also after my boyfriend; really didn’t know what went on with them before I resumed school. She was always around her cousin’s place which was very close to where my boyfriend stayed and my boyfriend was entertaining her advances.

One Friday night, I was having menstrual cramps and relaxing in the hostel but they were having a Miss Mass Communication pageant and one of my boyfriend’s friend’s girlfriends was a contestant so they had to attend as a group. I had no idea since I was the new girl and didn’t really warm up to the girls… only for my boyfriend to show up with his friends in front of my hostel and sent his friend’s cousin to tell me to join them so we could attend the party. Normally, I wouldn’t have gone especially in my condition but I wasn’t comfortable with him going with his friend’s cousin so I had to get up, dress up and follow them to the party.
At the hall, my boyfriend sat in between me and the chic. And since I was having cramps I didn’t really talk much and I just sat there as both of them stood to watch the show and made some inside jokes, I felt like the third party. His best friend on the other hand was trying to make me feel like I belonged there; sometimes he would look at me when he hears something funny and we would laugh or I’ll just smile.

How to leave a toxic job when you don't have another lined up

The indicators of a poisonous relationship are typically the same, whether it's with a partner, friend, or family member: your views and opinions are not valued, you're the only one ready to compromise or put in work to improve the connection, and you continuously feel like you're walking on eggshells. It may have a significant impact on your mental health and well-being, as I just discovered firsthand. My toxic connection, however, was not with a love partner or a friend; it was with my job.   The term "toxic jobs" refers to unfavourable work settings that put a burden on employees' mental health. These environments often feature abusive managers, discriminatory or harassing conduct, heavy office politics, and a climate of gossip or rivalry.   And these settings are more frequent than you would think: according to a 2020 Emtrain poll, 41% of employees do not believe their company would take a harassment report seriously, and 29% had left a job due to workplac

Happy New Year in Advance

Hello everyone, Incase I have not said happy New Year in advance. Happy New year!!! Ugh, a lot of things happened to me this year 2022; I lost my younger brother in January , quit my job in May and quit the new one in October. I met some cool people and lost some. I went through an emotional roller coaster and my blood pressure got really high. There is a lot to unpack here but I really don’t feel like writing about it. Yes that is another thing; I have not been feeling like writing anything since I started staying at home again. I don’t feel like seeing people or going out. Been thinking of how to make money without having to go to work six days a week every single morning, facing Lagos traffic and all the crazies that come with 9 to 5. I feel hung-over typing this - tried to write articles every day but that didn’t work out, keep questioning myself if I am a good writer and why is it taking me this long to write something.   Two days ago, I was really upset and just irritated. You kn

When you don't know what to do

Sometimes when we feel stuck and lost, we just assume that every other person is doing better than us. That is not true. Most times when we don't know what to do, it simply means that we are overwhelmed. First of all, what do you want to do? Because most times we don't have anything to do but we feel like we should be doing something. Therefore, make sure you stay away from social media; except you are watching comedy on YouTube, DO NOT check your social media! My simple and short answer for if you don’t know what to do would just be not to do anything at all. You can only do something that needs to be done. If there is nothing to do, you can’t do anything about it. Have you heard of the phrase, let go of what you can’t change? Then you should practice that, cause holding on to something you can’t do anything about will cause anxiety, depression and exhaustion. So why look for what is not there? You have to be specific about what it is you want to do, that is the only way you c
