calm down - Rema. I love the intro beats of this song so much …

As I write this, I’m in the library, I’m listening to this song and jamming.

I’m in the library writing this and I’m trying to clear my head for creativity. 

Breathe in… breathe out.

Here we go!

Right now, it’s semi confirmed that my MB is March. We haven’t even reached half of Biochemistry’s scheme of work, or Genetics, or Neuroanatomy, or physiology. Nawa 🫠😂


Random fact: over the past week or so, I’ve been scared about how much time I spend social media especially as my exams are so dancing closer. I think twice about checking my screen time, because of the number that I’ll see 😅.


To solve this, I was recently reading Atomic habits by James Clear. He talked about how when he was writing the book and he wanted to eliminate distraction, at the beginning of every week he and his personal assistant would change each other’s social media passwords. His personal assistant would change his social media password, and he will change his PAs password. At the end of the week, they’ll tell each other their new passwords. 

So I was thinking, that’s a good approach. I can get off socials during the week and come back only on weekends. I started to follow his strategy and I can say it’s helped me focus better.


Rants aside, VCs cup.

I’ve been meaning to talk about this for some time 😂

If you aren’t familiar with this story (which is highly unlikely), Medicine won Nursing 4-1 on Wednesday last week.

And…it came with a lot of banter 🥲😅.

💔

💔😂

🥲

🥲💔



as you can tell, this didn’t go down well with nursing students 💔😂. They were literally livid.

…

And then the tables turned…


Someone reported that Medicine broke one of the rules of the competition by playing a non-student. Medicine was disqualified.

Jeez... Nursing had their time for revenge. And they used it well.









There were many other bants which I unfortunately wasn’t able to get a hold of 😅. But it was all so funny. 
Depressing for med students, revengeful for nursing students, and funny for the rest of the school.

…

And then.. another twist. Medical students appealed the decision to disqualify them. It was reversed, and they were let back in 😶‍🌫️😎

Nursing students’ revenge was so short 😭. 

This time, med students gave a final response to the banter 😅. the whole school was literally alive on WhatsApp lol.


…

This is a wacky attempt at reconciling the 2 departments. ☺️


1. Med students like ‘Ijogbon’ 😂 because why would you follow the losing team all the way to the junction to celebrate their loss? Banter suppose get where e go reach na 💔😂


2. Nursing students (maybe) took things too personally. But some types of banter Dey always enter too sha 😂 


3. Nursing also won mbbs 4-1 last year. E get as e go Dey be with some bants. Next time make nursing take their Banting chance. Make dem no too ‘noble’ 😂 as my friend said (shoutout) 



Jokes aside, nurses and doctors can learn to respect each other as students. Because in the outside world, they have a really troubled partnership 😅. We can use Med school to build those partnerships right from start ❤️.

we all need each other as students and as future colleagues.


All said, congrats to BMS for winning the cup 👏🏽. Y’all did a good job. I was rooting for Allied health though cuz I think they’re the better team. 

Well…they’re not the team that kicked mbbs out 👨🏾‍🦯


To end on a banter-less note,

Congrats to medicine for making third.

Congrats to nursing too 🤝🤝🫱🏽‍🫲🏿👏🏽🫰🏽

Una try 


Thanks for reading :)

Bye 👋

My Debating Experience... scary.

-
I was going through my YouTube downloads and I saw a couple of videos that I used to prepare for a school debate in 2022; so I decided to do a blog on my experience at the debate. Here it is  ✨ My first experience debating was in JS1. I joined the debate, poetry, and writing club of my school mainly because I thought it was cool.  The debate topics we had were rather peripheral, for example: “doctors vs farmers: who contributes more to the society?”.  In those debates, there was pretty much no style as to who spoke first or next, it was all rather randomized. So whenever it was my turn to speak, all points would have been taken by the previous speakers and I would be left blank  😅 . I left the club in JS2 to join another ‘interesting’ club. Last year, I saw an email inviting students to participate in a school debate competition.  I was a little bored at that time and I needed something exciting to lay my hands on, so I said ‘why not try out?’ I signed up, and,...

Dealing with the Comfort Zone

-

“What if that happens?”, “What if I don’t make it?”, “Would my efforts be in vain?”, what would people think?”   I struggle with these questions when I’m about doing something new, when I’m venturing into new territory, or when I’m about to do something to chase a dream. As the questions crawl through my mind, I begin to wonder what to do and I start to search for answers. If I don’t  find an answer, I close up whatever it is that I am doing and go do things that bring me some level of certainty. There goes the dream. There goes that goal. Once in a while though, I do it either ways, when I think what I need to do is far more important/more impactful than the answers my mind seeks.   If things eventually turn out fine, I start thinking, I need to do this more. I need to shut out that constant need for answers and certainty; i f they don’t, the voices in my head that seek certainty become stronger. Because ambition, especially lofty ones,  push us to places we’ve...

What I learned from being a salesman for a week

Image
I became a salesman for a week, and I had so much fun! I’m not a natural salesperson type who gets along easily and motivates (is that the word?) people to buy stuff, so when I first started (in 100L), I failed. Horribly. I started selling in 100L after I decided I wanted to start making money.  I thought of a business idea that I thought was nice, and settled on fans. So I kick-started, my parents were supportive, I did a promotional video, sent it to class group, and low-and-behold, after the whole hullabaloo I sold only 1 fan. 1!  I just gave up.  2 year later, this year, I was telling my mum and siblings about how I hadn’t finished selling off all those fans. My sister, who I like to call a veteran business woman because of how much into business she is, laughed.  She and my mum said that the weather was pretty hot and fans were in high demand so how had I not sold them? I was just looking. Then my sister told me about how everyone in her school had been asking h...
