A Decision That Murdered My Festive Spirit

in Hive Learners11 months ago

One of the best part that comes with this season is the fact that everyone is talking about it and the joy and happiness it brings to the heart of everyone, young, old, Christian or not. Everyone is celebrating one way and another we are all affected by the season and yes we spend time with others (friends, family, hive community members etc).

Kudos to the the community MODs for bringing this initiative. On that one thing you have done to make this holiday memorable. Well, I have being checking out posts on this and everywhere I looked, everyone is talking about family, friends etc. Yes that is all good but it is making me feel a little jealous. Let me not lie, it is actually making me super jealous and here is why.

The Decision_20231225_184400_0000.png

Alright so let's dive into the careless decision I made that cost me my entire celebrations Spirit. Although they are 2. One was within my control to some extent and the other was totally out of my control.

As you all might know, I am in my final year, last semester at that and you all know the stress that comes with it (project and all). So I have gotten my project topic since months ago but my supervisor asked me to get 50 literature work on the topic and to be submitted before I can proceed with the project topic. While still doing that, exams started and my laptop crashed resulting me in losing all my work.

So, because of the delay in submitting the work, my supervisor asked me and his remaining project students not to travel after exams until we have submitted what he asked us to submit. me trying to be a changed student, I decided to listen and stay back to finish up. So I cancelled all my plans for the festive season with friends because family is literally scattered across the globe lolz. After the exams, I discovered that most of the students that are under this man have actually vanished from school. Still trying to be a good student, I decided to stick with my decision and stay back.

Now the painful part
I finished my work on Friday and I tried contacting this man for 2 days to know if and when he will be around in school anytime since he instructed us to stay back. I finally got through to him on Sunday (Christmas Eve) only for him to tell me that he is not in town that he has travelled for the holiday. Upon hearing this, the anger that filled my heart was enough to slap him if we had the conversation physically. I was so pained but I couldn't do anything but maintain my decision and stay back on campus because prices to Lagos would have surged and there was no need going back anymore since it remained just 1 week for the holiday to end.

So, this my decision made me stay back in a town that's technically just for students and I have no friends around me here, the town is majorly occupied with Muslims so the Christmas celebration is not really felt. I just hope the New year is better.

I tried to get the best of the moment by working on my plans for next year, playing COD, I could have gone out but no place to visit here ( no cinema, no mall, no amusement park) noting fun to do here than to just stay in doors and work with what you have at home.

So guys, there you have it,

Coupled with this, I fell sick and currently recovering. Couldn't really cook and celebrate to my satisfaction but no problem.

I just need to do one good deed soon as a birthday gift to mark the birth of our Lord Jesus.

Compliment of the season

Next time keh.

Yeah, it has actually made me spend more time on hive
Thanks for stopping by

Wow. Wait, is your school in Offa? That place is literally kind of boring. You can't find anything amusing to celebrate with there. Imagine your project supervisor gave an order not to travel until you are done with what he gave to you but already travelled to meet his family; such a selfish act by him. If you had known, you would have travelled when others did. You have got to cope with the situation until next year. I wish you the best.

You know Offa??

Finally someone that can relate.

I have been at home since morning. Haven't even stepped out of my room. The annoying part is that the lecturer wasn't remorseful or sorry ooooo.

Yea, I am an indigene of Kwara state. Those kinds of lecturers aren't remorseful at all.

Where in Kwara??

This man barely smiles in class sef

Owu-Isin, along Omu-Aran

yeah I know that place. not bin there though

Yay! 🤗

if it makes you feel better, I never celebrate any winter holiday or any holidays really. I have 3 days off for New Years that’s it. But I’ve designed my life so that I’m never that busy or stressed unless I want to be. I’m saving up all my holidays for a really long one where I can travel for weeks at a time. Also I meet friends fairly often anyway.

Just stay in touch with the people you care the most about and keep doing your thing, the rest will work itself out.

Where is your family scattered?

This is my first holiday without family and it feels awkward really and the fact that everyone is out there spending it with a family is really not making it any better. Well I will adapt or let me say I have already adapted.

My bro is in Abuja, Sis is married and resides in Lagos, I'm in Kwara and mum (the only person that can pull us all together is not around).

Thanks for stopping by and for the upvote
