My Crush


            I am the most eccentric character the world over, and I really mean that. This is because I really believe in the words of the Prince of Morocco in the book Merchant of Venice by the great William Shakespeare when he says he doesn’t jump with common spirits. I have always believed that when the entire world is going towards the East in unison I will comfortably walk towards the West and not a feel a thing about it. That shouldn’t be interpreted to mean I am a robber or a law breaker for that matter but rather that I make independent even if not always popular decisions, not to mention that I also hold unorthodox stands.
            One of the things I really believe in-or believed in until a couple of weeks ago-is that I could never be smitten by a lady in whatever circumstances. I love essay writing and so you may be tempted to think that this is one of my zillion essays but I would like to guarantee that this is actually me talking about myself. Three or so weeks ago my department organized a one week field trip to the companies in the next town from where my campus is situated.
            I wasn’t enthusiastic about the trip as such but at the end of the week I literally went to the administrators to request if the time could be extended even by a couple of hours if not days. Such was the influence of a lady I met over there. Alexis (pronounced E-lexis) is a lady that you can easily say is as common as all the other ladies if you gaze at her by passing. I had in effect met her so many times before but I had never known any other side of her except that she had a smile that could light a room, not to mention a well-arranged set of milk white teeth. To cut the long story short, she turned out to be the sweetest person I have met in my life. I can’t believe it.

Life is a Race

            It is an undeniable fact that the life we live in is a race that only the well-equipped and focused in life make it as winners. A good friend of mine likes intimating to me that the race of life begins even before conception. According to him, one sperm among millions-I have never bothered to know if they are indeed millions or more because I hate zoology, botany or is it anatomy with all my heart-has to win the race to go and fertilize the ovum produced at the other end. I don’t know how you see it but as a person with a keen interest in essay writing (I write essays for fun during my part-time) I tend to agree.

            Even without his extreme example, I know for a fact that life is indeed a race and it will always be so. I graduated from campus three months ago but I can tell you for free that my campus life was full of races. The magnitude of the races may differ, but they are races nonetheless and they need to be excelled in. The main race in campus, and I am sure you will agree with me in all probability, is the academic race.

            The main reason why people go to university is to excel in their academic lives and eventually attain the careers of their choice. That means there is a race of sorts in order to be the best in class. In games and sports there is a lot of competition too, and nobody knows that better than campus students who organize a lot of inter-class and inter-faculty games amongst themselves. My campus life was full of races, but if there is one thing that this life taught me is that I should never expect things on a silver platter. That attitude has helped me greatly and I must admit that my life outside campus has been enriching as a result.

Job Hunt


            I have so many hobbies in life, ranging from essay writing-though my essays are basically for personal reading, playing football, making friends and swimming. What I like most of the four is making friends. That shouldn’t be interpreted to mean I make every Tom, Dick and Harry my friend but rather that I cherish friends. I love friends very much, because I know friends can take you where money can’t. I recently graduated from campus and to my advantage got a well-paying job shortly after graduation. What aided me to get a job that fast was the friendship I had with people during my time in campus.
            Whenever people tell me of their job hunt stories and how laborious it is to land a job I always smile inwardly because I take that with a pinch of salt. As somebody else would put it, I take a dim view of people who take long without landing a job. The secret to getting a job-and I wish all campus students knew this-is forging the right friendships while in campus. One could befriend the older students in his faculty or discipline of study or better still choose to make friends with his or her lecturers.
            This is not in any way a guarantee of a job but rather a means to ensuring you don’t stay long without a job. The main friendships that campus students should never forget to have is that of the people in the corporate world, more so of those in their line of study. Such friendships are made during internships or through forums that relate to the careers the students could be pursuing. There are so many ways students can ensure their job hunt isn’t as tasking as it always is but making friends in the right places certainly ranks high among the ways.

I Call it Over loving

Normal 0 false false false RU X-NONE X-NONE

            When I was younger I couldn’t believe somebody could be accused of over-loving something or somebody but I now know better. It is true that the greatest gift somebody can ever give you in this world is love. If somebody loves you genuinely and he can do anything for you then that should mean more to you than any gift the person can ever give you. I knew that when I joined campus three years ago. I had a friend called Paul-he was a very good essay writer-who had a very pretty girlfriend who also happened to be good in writing essays.

            I had seen many couples in love, (beginning from my parents of course) but this was a new ball game altogether. Paul and his girlfriend were madly in love and everybody in campus knew they were destined to be. Anybody interested in going out with any member of the hallowed couple always padded his or her hooves once he saw how much pain he would cause to the happiest couple in the world as they were roundly called. Everybody saw the couple as the epitome and quintessence of what a couple in love should be like. When they left campus at the end of their academic lives, everyone was disappointed.

            The next couple to be labeled the couple of the campus turned to be a perfect example of what over loving is all about. The lady loved the dude very much but the guy was not into her. In other words, the lady was in love alone. If you didn’t know then know today that there is no worse feeling in the world than knowing that all along you have been in love alone. When the lady realized that she had been over loving the dude and he had been going along with her while offering nothing of note in return, she was very disappointed and decided to end her life. Over loving somebody is risky.

Make Your Priorities Right


Before I joined campus I was a hardworking essay writer. I used to submit essays to an online company that would pay me well per article. They also used to give me bonuses periodically. When I joined campus I was determined to enhance my skills and become a well known writer in the university. My wish was to revive the school magazine which for some years had faded out. One day I met one guy in the library, in the writers section, looking at the old school magazines and journals. He exclaimed, ‘I feel that it’s not right that this magazine no longer prints, if I got support I would do something about the situation!’ For a moment, I was quiet then I answered him that it was a good idea to revive the school gazette. Then I told him am a writer and I would love to reinstate it together if he didn’t mind.
His father was a multi-millionaire, the proprietor of the leading magazine in the state. And he said that his father would be very much willing to assist until the magazine starts selling and become partners. Somehow I forgot about my core business in the university and concentrated on the magazine business. The magazine picked and by the second year of study it was up and selling. Unfortunately I got rusticated because of consistent fails in my exams although everyone congratulated us for the good work. My partner in the magazine also met the same fate of rustication.
He had promised me that despite the misfortune, his father would most certainly secure a job vacancy in his thriving firm. He assured me that there was nothing to worry about. When we left college, he told me that immediately he talked to his father he would give me a call. I knew that my dream of becoming a famous essay writer was over after waiting for a whole two months for a single call of good news. His number was also disconnected. I am ever since trying to get myself back to college.

A Path to Success

Normal 0 false false false RU X-NONE X-NONE

Everyone thinks that success is passing exams, getting straight As or even becoming the top in the class. Success is that feeling of satisfaction or joy when you sit back, look at the results of your work, admire it and say, wow! This is great. It is all about doing an excellent work, doing your best. They say work to excel and success will chase you pants down. The path that leads to success in right here with us, only we don’t realize. It is only taking in what one want in this life and going for it with all your body and soul. This means you work tirelessly to overcome the challenges that come your way, including discouragement from those around you. One should only be concerned about fulfilling the heart’s desire.

Life is fair or unfair equally to all beings; clergy men, business people, politicians, students and their professors, the only different being time or the phase of life they are in. You don’t have to be a chief executive officer of a company to believe you are successful, you don’t have to be a celebrity either, and you only need to be enthusiastic and an opportunist. Have you ever watched a flock of sheep match to the fields and in a line?

If you put a cross bar (one that you can actually jump across) in front of the first sheep in the line if the first five jump it then you remove the bar, all the others will still be jumping as if the bar is still intact. That the spirit of failure, doing things foolishly. If for example you read an essay an organized writer not necessarily someone who has been in essay writing for long, you will notice the difference from if you read them from a disorganized writer. An essay, for example will be used to depict what kind of a writer one is and so is any other work. Success is all about being organized.

Over Confidence

            Confidence is a good virtue but the moment as student is overconfident, things start crumbling. They say too much of anything is poisonous. Too much of drinking,  over preparing for exams, too many friends, too much sleeping, basically overdoing doing everything is just clearly poisonous. Sometimes a student clearly knows he has not prepared for an exam for a reason or two and instead of perusing the book for the little tie they have they just walk into an exam room feeling like they have all the answers only to get there and start looking at their friends hoping answers were written on their faces.
            Students do not only express overconfidence in their exams alone  but also their daily class lessons, whereby a student feels like they know it all, for example about a certain assignment on an essay. Instead of researching and seeking help from the essay writing service offers they go ahead and write a lot of nonsense. By the time their results are out they get shocked and get to wonder what really happened.
Success does not just come from nowhere; it is earned with a lot of hard work and determination. An empty brain however confident it could be always empties nothing. Other students read too much than it is required and by the time they sit for an exam they end up giving details that were not even required after all or even writing vague material and as much as they had a point a lecturer gets tired of searching for it. Therefore students should avoid this vice of overconfidence because at the end of the day it costs them dearly by attaining poor grades, getting very disappointed upon the release of their results which may also lower their self esteem. Therefore working hard and facing it with courage is important.
