I never had the chance to enjoy college life when I was young because my dad retired from employment and he could no longer be able to pay for my college fees so I studied in College for only 1 year then later on when I could pay my own school fees I went back to college. During that 1 year, I enrolled at the Multi media University formerly known as KCCT for one year to study mass communication. Earlier this week as I was just going through my email I came across this article I wrote to one of our local media stations KBC they were looking for fresh talent to join their media team and to apply you had to write an article about your campus and send it together with your CV. I was very ambitious back then and I did exactly that.
The article I wrote blew me away, just take a look. Honestly, I would like to go back to writing like this. So vivid and interesting, read all about it down below:
COLLEGE
LIFE
That’s just the sight
of Kenya College of Communications Technology (K.C.C.T), the moment you enter
through the gate. Wait till you meet the students you will be dazed beyond
words, because they are damn stunning one would think they ain’t going to
class, especially the ladies. The most I can say is that they are kind of
skimpily dressed! Need I say more? This definitely the reason as to why the
Dean of Students wrote new rules, which relentlessly discourages putting on such
dress codes. The response from the students obviously expected or un-expected
is hostile, they claim that it is not the clothes that matter but their
attendance in class. Some of them don’t give utter concern to the rules they
continue putting them on, saying that they feel comfortable dressed like that,
the ignorant students of course don’t even have a clue that there are new dress
code rules stuck on various notice boards within the school compound.
Apart from that, the 1st year
students commonly known as “freshaz”are slowly adopting to college life. Some
are discovering the wild side of them, partying is the in thing for them. They
party like there is no tomorrow. They hang out with their buddies at various
joints, one such is Park Place; it’s situated a kilometer from our college. It
is normally packed with students from various campuses like Catholic
Uninversity, J.K.U.A.T Karen campus, African Nazarene and of course K.C.C.T students.
They like raving it up from Friday to Sunday. Partying I believe is part of
college life, I mean life ain't no rehearsal you only live once and the moment
an opportunity knocks grab it instantly, because you never know what tomorrow
holds.
Back at the college
hostels, you can hear loud music coming from Block C that’s the men’s hostel.
The music is head banging and they don’t give a hoot about their neighbors.
Meanwhile the focused students commonly known as “chops” are seriously reading
or even doing projects that they have been assigned by their lecturers. These
students rarely have time to meet their social needs, they consider them a
waste of time, their goal in college is to attain the distinction mark at their
final year and graduate in a colorful ceremony where the whole clan will come
to spec Tate and share in their joy. I ain't being a hater by saying this but
they should at least give their social needs a chance, I mean all work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy, so style up and party!
Then there is these
group of students who can’t go un- mentioned. I refer to them as hogs because
the moment 6 o’clock in the evening (that’s the time for super) they already
crowded outside the dinning hall known as “pavilion” to K.C.C.T students, the
moment the door is opened they hurriedly rush to the counter and on reaching
there they scrum to pay for their meals like a bunch of gorillas fighting for a
banana! You would think they are high school students who want to be the first
to be served the top layer.
That’s what is going
down at my campus!
As always thank you for reading.
