MY NYSC CAMP EXPERIENCE.

Image
Heyyy loves! It’s been a hell of a long time! I hope you guys are doing amazing! So, I want to tell you guys a little about my experience at the nys orientation camp and I'mma jump right into it. I went to the Kubwa orientation camp in FCT, Abuja. I wanted to make a vlog on my YouTube channel for you all to have a visual experience because I had someone whose phone shot videos in 4K and he helped shoot some videos but I didn’t have enough footage and I wanted it to be really detailed so I decided to write.

Forgotten truths

Hi! What's going on? I hope you are doing amazing! If not, I'm sorry. You'd be fine. I promise. Take my words for it. So, I'm here on my unmade bed after a stressful day. Actually, it has been some stressful past days. Anyways, I'm listening to my playlist at the moment which is not more than five songs and I just decided to share somethings I found while reading and thought might be helpful. Another person that inspired this post is Ope, my classmate who gave me a subtle attack to post on my blog so, enjoy!

COMMUNICATE!!!

Image
We love to talk about GOT series and fashion trends and what celebrities are up to, as well as new artists and new music. We will talk about future goals and really anything that comes up. We can talk for hours about nothing and days about everything. Yet it always seems like everyone seems to shut the fuck up when it comes down to the most important time to actually TALK. I'm referring to relationships. It seems that when we get frustrated with our bf/gf, we stop talking. We walk away from the person, there’s no exchanged I love yous , no calls, no texts, and no more relationship. In some cases, walking away is the right thing to do, such as in toxic or abusive relationships, but here, I'm referring to an average relationship.

21 THINGS I LEARNED BEFORE TURNING 21!

Having recently turned 21, I decided to compile a list of 21 pieces of advice, life lessons, and tips that I've learned to acknowledge and accept over the course of my life, and maybe it'll be helpful to you.

UPDATE ON MY LIFE/PLANS FOR MY FINAL YEAR IN SCHOOL.

Image
So I am in my final year in the University. Yay(I guess). I resumed about a month ago and I am already tired. Boring classes, assignments, presentations, projects and what not. Lord. My third year would probably be the worst time of my life for certain reasons but this school year is already looking good because I have been planning my days more, I’ve been more positive,

HOW TO HANDLE CONFRONTATIONS.

 I’ve definitely been the type of person to avoid confrontation but now, I approach it head on.In my experience when I don’t approach it, it usually ends up hurting me in the long run as i bottle my feelings, which ultimately come out sideways as passive aggressiveness. Of course, confrontation can be uncomfortable at times but it doesn’t have to be scary. In fact, it can even be healthy when done right. I think a large reason people hate confrontation is because it typically ends up worsening the problem. These are what you should do:

HOW I ACHIEVED A CLEARER SKIN (WITH PICTURES).

Image
Hey lovelies! This post is long due so I'm just going straight to the point on how I achieved a clearer skin. It was very difficult trying to get my skin back. I tried everything. At a point, I was like everyone should just accept me like this,we would all be fine but it was crazy always answering the question" OMG what happened to your face" because I didn't even know the answer.

DO NOT LET THEM DEFINE YOU!

Image
Heyyyyy my people!!! How are you guys doing? I hope you feel Amazing! If not,it will be alright las las. I’m on the toilet seat writing this. Too much information abi?lol. I’m feeling like I need to motivate myself and others right now and that’s why I decided to share this with you all. Before I

THE REALITIES OF BEING AN ENTREPRENEUR.

Image
 "An entrepreneur is somebody that takes risk to start a business by sacrificing their salary to make money on their own and create jobs."Although they may be confident in their decision to forge his or her own, uncharted path to successful business ownership, prosperity is not guaranteed. The risks, roadblocks, and psychological challenges involved are enough to deter even the most confident entrepreneur with the best product offering.

AT A POINT, YOU ARE MISERABLE NOT PETTY.

Image
Petty. It seems to be a word that dominates every social media platform on the Internet.Especially Snapchat. Oh yes, Snapchat. But here's the thing, being petty isn't cute. It isn't funny, it isn't unique or powerful. It's immature and rude and frankly, annoying.And you wanna know what makes all of this even worse? We don’t only act petty, we glorify it. We publicize stupid arguments with our friends to gain sympathy and in turn, taking a simple misunderstanding and blowing it way out of proportion. And when we do this, we get congratulated. People think you’re so funny and so clever, when really you’re just petty. And now you’re sitting there like, yasss, I am petty, is that a problem? Because for some reason our society is so messed up that it’s talked you up to think that the way you’re handling your problems is brilliant.

HOPE?

Image
The definition of a Strong Woman, to me, is a woman who can make the right moves, even when she is afraid and doubtful. She may not have all the answers, but she trusts in herself and the natural cycle of life. I know this is easier said than done. The reason why it is hard for us to let go is because we have been taught that hope is a good emotion and motivator to live with. I’m here to tell you that hope is a destroyer of your true self and purpose. Women use hope to do things that are not for their greatest good. We stay in abusive relationships because we hope one day they will change. We hope we will get the job we want, the house, the relationship… the list goes on but I'd stop here.

7 MANTRAS TO LIVE BY.

Image
Hey guys!! I'm back with another post. Obviously. Lol. I saw this on another blog and it inspired me to write mine. Read on 😊 1.  Do something out of your comfort zone.  I mean really out of your comfort zone. Whatever that means for you. They will  scare you but it will help you realize what you want out of life in a major way and push you to realize more about yourself. 2.  Read a book that challenges you or changes your mind.  Reading in general is stimulating and teaches us so much. To me, a book that helps you adjust your thinking or opinion is a bonus. 3.  Set a goal for yourself.  Big, little, it doesn’t matter. Have both, in my opinion. When you set goals for yourself you’re more likely to actually achieve them. Your dreams aren’t just going to happen. You have to go after them.

FEELING MISUNDERSTOOD?

Image
I have felt misunderstood, and for a large part of my life. I could be a social person sometimes. I can get along with most people. People, who know me well, would not describe me as an introvert but I do feel I have an introverted side to me. I think the world is too noisy, and I often struggle to understand my part in the grand scheme of life. I have always questioned things and still spend much of my time thinking about different aspects of life, what everything means and how it all fits together.

STAY ICE AND BELIEVE.

Image
You see, sometimes I doubt my abilities and become so unsure of myself and my work. Can I really do this? Is my blog that good or are people bored of reading what I put out? Should I just quit? I would write some ideas down and spend the remaining days asking myself if these ideas are good enough to try to execute.

DREAMING OR DOING?

Image
What is your dream in life? How much time per day or week do you spend working to make that dream a reality? And how much time do you spend dreaming about making it a reality? I saw this online "I am the one thing in life I can control. I am inimitable. I am an original. I’m not falling behind or running late. I’m not standing still. I am lying in wait"

19 FUN FACTS ABOUT ME.

Hey guys! I'm just going to dive right into it. Here are 19 fun facts about me. - I sleep a lot. I can sleep for two days straight if you let me.

A PRODUCTIVITY BOOST.

Image
Hey lovelies! I'm finally done with the session and i'm back home, chilling and waiting for breakfast right now. A new post has been long due. So, here's what's on my mind right now. I think many of us try to plan and micromanage everything in life to a ridiculous extent these days.  Don’t get me wrong, I wished i had a good to-do list to keep me on track throughout the day, week,month heck, even a year because i have to be reminded to do things. but sometimes I think it’s better to lay off the planning just a teeny tiny bit. It’s too easy to spend hours planning and making lists only to feel like you haven’t actually achieved anything afterwards.

Sometimes,I try to be an overachiever but in reality,I’m usually a hot mess. I struggle with deadlines, I do not reply messages and my inbox gets flooded and I have a pretty good relationship with my snooze button;I sleep a lot. There are so many things that I wish to accomplish so,I feel I need to step it up a notch and focus on building some girlboss habits.
