I CRIED

It all started in my years as a freshman; it was not an easy journey. It has never been an easy journey right from day one till date; currently, my accommodation is even shaking. It is not certain. There is this particular girl we both attended extra moral lesson classes together, we are friends, and we happen to be attending the same university and also in the same department. Her interest is in TV broadcasting, but I prefer radio broadcasting, and that is how it has been. She resumed before me, I resumed late because I was having issues with securing accommodation in school.

In my school, it is always hard for freshers to get accommodation, especially when their admission is processed late; this was the situation I found myself in either you have a connection, or you have to be among the first students on the admission list. I was shortlisted on the last batch, and before I could process everything, my registration, and clearance, there was no space again, and my parents wanted me to stay in the hostel. I spoke to this particular friend of mine about it and she agreed that I would stay with her in the hostel for two weeks before I could sort myself out myself and then the following week I packed my bag and sojourned to school, only for her to call me that she can no longer allow me to stay with her and till date, I did not get a reason from her. I was already in school when she called me I was stranded and frustrated.

I had to look for somewhere to squat and pass the night. The next day, I went to class, and I met this girl whom I begged to allow me to stay in her house until I could get accommodation. I told her I was going to stay for two weeks and she agreed. I carried my stuff and moved in with her although she had a roommate and we were living somehow peacefully until I noticed they were trying to turn me into their slave, I was cooking, cleaning, and washing, the feeding was on me because my mum gave me enough foodstuffs to last me for almost a semester and when the foodstuffs finished because it was no longer for me alone but for three their attitudes changed. During my 100-level days, my parents sent me money frequently, and that was what we were feeding on; I stayed with them for a semester because they said I could stay because we were only three and the room was big. Immediately, I could no longer meet their demands. They threw me out of the house and told me to my face that there was no need to keep me in the house.

I wept, I had to pack my things to squat with someone I knew during my days of processing my admission. I stayed in different places from year one till my final year, things were not smooth for my parents so I couldn't get accommodation, accommodation in my school is very expensive, so I decided to squat with someone until I started working in a radio station and I was given a space in the staff quarters of the radio station and that's where I'm living currently, I used to have a roommate but now she has graduated, from my year one till final year in respect to accommodation it has never been easy.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. See you soon. 🤗
