THE TRUTH As much as people come here to read this little piece, with the commendation I get and the heads up, this whole diary haunts me every day of my life since my last post. Yes, I am a very private person, I keep my affairs very private, I'm struggling to open up to anybody around me,I don't have a confidant or someone I tell everything, not because I don't want to but it is difficult for me. I'[m not an introvert, in fact I am a talkative and throw bants alot but no matter how much I talk, there's a big boundary between my private life and normal everyday gist. I know you will be thinking I should see a shrink, well I am considering that when we start "building pyramids with caterpillars not with niggas" this time around ![]() Why did I say this whole diary haunts me? As a result of some factors, my face became 'faceful' and no more faceless for me on this forum because some peeps could relate to my story as I write it here and some figured who I am, some made reference to it. Of course, some commended me for a job well done, and they would love to read more, that is sure a very good source of motivation for every normal person but if you read the first paragraph you will discover that it is a huge problem for me, tell me I am not normal, I know too. I just prefer Forbes to Hollywood. Now, why am I back here? If I decide not to write here again, nothing will happen to me, and those that are inspired will get inspiration somewhere, infact they will be a source of inspiration to people somewhere, someday but guess what, I will end being the greatest loser. I love writing, I want to write more, I want o write what is in my head down every seconds and hopes it makes sense and when those shitty writings helps people in their everyday life or pursuit, I will be the happiest person on not just planet earth but on the whole planet of the world. I went for a rehearsals today and I was having a random discussion with a young lady in my group, suddenly she changed the topic of discussion, she told me she notice I visit nairaland very often (shhhh! don't tell anyone, I am addicted to nairaland, even in the church, toilet, class, trust me I'm always here before going to bed, it works as a good sedative for me as well,unfortunately, the front page is getting messier by the day). Okay back to the young lady, I told her Yes, I do.... She showed me her phone and she was on Nairaland as well while we are chatting. Then I asked her the section she visits most, she said mostly on front page and the travel section too, then I asked her what is she doing in travel section? (I shouldn't have asked) She said and I quote " I just love reading about experiences on travel, there is even a guy on this Island sharing his story on the Island, I don't even know why he stopped" I was shocked, I tried to curtail it and told probably the person is busy, but probably because I was proud of that little diary that has been haunting me, I had to tell her I was actually the one, I denied almost immediately again (that faceless factor), she was confused and decided to argue that I am not the one; we eventually resolve on a bet for lunch if I am the one or not, I proved it to her and she is owing me a Lunch ![]() More so, I added few people on my BBM list that I met on this forum, we barely chat and sometimes I don't reply his message after a long period of time but whenever he chats with me, he charges me and encourages me to come back on the thread, I think his moniker here is "Dreamcome2ru" not sure about that though. My plan is to come back here Summer and write a very long comprehensive piece and maybe just deactivate my account and run away for life but that encounter I had with that young lady and the pressure I get from the bro I met here is making me take that bold step of coming back here to make sure I update this thread as much as I can. However, I will prefer not to go into personal details a lot for now, at least y'all should wait for me to see that shrink ![]() Hope y'all having a great weekend. cheers! 7 Likes 1 Share |

Hello, I think you are a good writer. You need to write more often. I just read through your thread, and even though I have no interest in studying further(I am a graduate), I read because it was interesting. 1 Like |

@ mctolspell, I really appreciate every bit of your story. You know who you are and how the story hurts you. But for me, i dont see why you should feel anything. I started reading your story while in Nigeria because i was processing my visa to study abroad. I wanted to see the struggles and the good side. I can relate to everything you said here. From the standard of education to the girls. lol. Life as a foreign students is not a bed if roses except maybe for peepz in the UK and US. I just want you to know that you arent alone in this struggle. A whole lots of students face the same ish. DO have a great day bro. 1 Like |

Re: Diary Of An International Student, North Cyprus (thread Reopened) by tbaby534(f): 4:39pm On Jun 07, 2016 |
sarzy: Yes I am. So far it's been good, the environment is good for learning. Though there are distractions but if you know what you want then you have less to worry about , combining work and school is tough hence it is advised you have a reliable sponsor. |
Re: Diary Of An International Student, North Cyprus (thread Reopened) by Nobody: 2:48am On Jun 10, 2016 |
tbaby534: Thanks for your prompt response! Pls I have some questions to ask 1. Like what distractions are there? 2. You are in what sch and what course? Undergraduate or post-graduate? 3. If undergraduate, what qualification did you get admitted through- O'level, A'level, OND etc? 4. What difference does someone coming in with A-level gets compared with someone coming in with O-level? 5. How much is tuition, on-campus accomodation, etc per year? Thanks! |
Re: Diary Of An International Student, North Cyprus (thread Reopened) by tbaby534(f): 8:21am On Jun 10, 2016 |
sarzy: 1. Fashion, illegal business, even football. 2. Girne American university, undergraduate 3. O'level 4. No idea 5. Depends on department, my school accommodation is expensive compared to living in a standard apartment outside. Campus accomodation is paid as 1 academic year and summer. That is 8 months for 2 semester which is 1500 euro and summer is 750 euro |

tbaby534: At your school or in any other sch within Cyprus, have you come across any physically challenged student, I mean using a wheelchair? |
