I wrote this during my undergraduate days or to be precise, on April 5th.

First off, it feels really good to be able to say "During my undergraduate days".😂

After 16 years of non stop academic endeavour, I'm finally going to get a piece of paper. I probably should have just gone to a stationery shop.

Sarcastic comments aside, I am really excited to be at this critical watershed. I'm really looking forward to saying "During my undergraduate days...". Before this though, there's one final hurdle. The Final Exams™.
First, I'm honestly a little disappointed with this one though. I thought they'd ask from everything we'd been learning since Primary 1! I even went home to get my old notes (Thanks Mum!). However, it wasn't really different from any other End-Of-Term( or Semester; my dear colleagues in secondary school, it's the same thing, don't mind them) Exam I've written. Not like it was really easy or anything, I just don't think it was befitting as a proper send off to a student who had dedicated between 16-23 years of their lives to something.

Nevertheless sha, I did learn a lot from this particular set of Exams.

1. God Did It.

   Truth is, the way my Life works out, it must be God in the gym. He takes care of the little details and the big ones. That happened again with this Exam. Big Thanks to the Master of The Universe.

2. Don't Mess With Breakfast

   Maybe this doesn't apply to everybody sha, but, trying to write a 2 and a half hour exam on an empty stomach makes me dizzy. Really really dizzy. I'd go to the hall and after like 10 minutes I'm already fantasising of coming out and going to buy food. Meanwhile, none of the food vendors open before 9 am... my exam is set for 8:30😩
   Trust me, a stomach on strike is not the best background to write exams. After all, no Army can fight on an empty stomach. And Final Exams are the ultimate war.

3. The Right Call is Everything

   Hearing a Special Someone's voice before the paper can be a very decisive factor. It's funny how simple words like "Write well" or "Make us proud" or "Love you too" can be so powerful coming from people we hold dear.

4. My Course mates All Think I'm an Exam Hall Sly

   Not like I'm complaining or anything, but most people don't talk to me in the hall. They don't ask and they don't tell me. Thankfully, I "know book small", so that's not such a problem. What really baffled me is how we'd come out of the hall and they'd go like "You sly! You nor even dey tell person anything" and I'm just like "Bros, but you no ask me na". They'd already judged that I wouldn't answer even without asking me anything. Just goes to show that perception is everything.

5. Exam Fever is Awesome!

   ...and I'll really miss it. Or maybe I won't. You know that nervous energy everybody seems to have before an exam? How people who love sleep (like me) can suddenly be pulling all nighters left, right and centre? That's Exam Fever. The rush it gives is something else. I'll probably need to find something that can motivate me as much as exams did now. Any suggestions?
