The Ticket

"Good afternoon oh" "Good afternoon sir" The bank teller collected the withdrawal ticket he stretched forth towards her and checked the application needed to verify if he was indeed the one. Verifying that, she went ahead to attempt to debit his ticket but it bounced back because his account didn't have the amount he requested. "Are you expecting cash?" she asked. That was a stylish way of telling him he didn't have the cash in account. He nodded in the affirmative. She felt sorry for him not because of his balance because that was something she saw happen every day, she only felt sorry because he looked like he really needed the cash. The smiling expression on his face turned straight as soon as she broke the news.   Few days later, he came again with the same ticket. She didn't bother verifying his signature and photograph as she was still yet to get over the other day's event. "Ekaasan sir" she greeted him i...

The French Exam

'Don't touch the system' he shouted, no response. He kept repeating it as students flooded the e-exam hall until someone said "o ti to, ha" (aka issokay we've heard). At some point, someone had to ask "till when?" and a lot of people seconded, thirded and four...nevermind. When he announced "you can start", I logged on immediately but it didn't show my course. Same happened to the other two people who were writing the same course with me - French. I thought to myself "maybe this is a sign that I'm not supposed to take this course". "Log out and log in again" he said, I kept wishing it won't work so I won't risk failing though I didn't feel bad about not reading because I didn't even understand most of the words and google translator is quite useless according to my experience.   I logged in and it worked so I began, the ball was in my court but I wasn't willing to kick yet infact I...

P-Pressure Or Something Like That

Peer pressure is a very funny concept abi funny kind of pressure. This is because you don’t have to be forced into doing anything; it starts in your head. You might be constantly teased about not having something someone else has and it starts to register in your mind/head (choose one) that you’re not up to the standard you should be. Who sets the standard really so why bother? It can also come in form of people around you having something you don’t which you probably admire but have no means of getting – yet. Rather than wait for your time, you feel you should join the clique so you hustle anyhow you can to get it. Funny thing is, those who own it might have been allowing you access to theirs (I don’t mean babe here, nobody wants you to share their babe) to the extent that you won’t feel the need to get yours but you just can’t (kent) keep calm.    Peer pressure isn’t always negative as it usually is made to sound. Peer pressure can inspire you to do amazing s...
