ORIENTATION 101 By William Dekker Forget about the orientation by the “higher-ups”, there’s more that still awaits in our lovely realm; a “University with a difference”. Quite literally, though am not allowed to expound on the meaning of that phrase…time will tell brethren. As you go about your daily of activities, you’ll have to be conversant with the following; “Frustration Square” This is the open green space in front of the student centre, with some elements of semi-old rooted seats. This is where you come to shed off your troubles when the going gets tough. That time that your pocket cannot sustain you through even for a day, yet HELB Disbursement by no means any closer. This is where you come to take a breeze when the academic transcript is not exhibiting any good. That moment that you’ve got a lot of “retakes”, “Supplementaries AKA soup” and missing marks. “SOUP” Comes from the word “SUP”, the short form of the word “Supplementary exams”. Buddies, here we don’t fail, WE GET SOUPS. That moment that the degree course in your line turns out to be a hard nut to crack, and the “E” grades are inevitable. With time you realize that attaining a mere 40% threshold can be a big nightmare. Freshaz Night Remember all those advices you were given by your kinsmen, pastors, village elders among the likes, moments before you left for this place. The promise you made to forever remain…blaah blaah blaah! Fortunately or unfortunately, it’s during this night that you take a turn into a new adaptation. The urge to explore is indeed irresistible. The happenings of the night have lived never to be told by any sober mind. God help us all! Exile It is that imaginary place you go to when your colleague roommate imports a specie of a “superior gender” for the night. It is one of the safest places on earth. Why? It simply safeguards you from the mental torture you might have undergone just in case you remained to witness what the two would be doing within the eight hours of the night. If only pillows would talk… Pirating It is a semi-modest act of spending at someone else places when your room happens to be colonized for some night. It is a rite of passage for every comrade; when exile comes knocking, you’ll be left with no option.
