Today, the newly admitted students in my school had their matriculation ceremony. It got me thinking about this time last year.
Last year, around this same period, not the same day, I was just like them.
I remember stepping into OAU with almost zero excitement. Everything felt so unfamiliar.
Those first two or three months?
Let me tell you,:they were rough. There were days Iâd confuse lecture theaters.
I was lost, literally and figuratively đ
But now, a year later, I look back and Iâm genuinely grateful that I came here.
Why? Because my life today isnât even in the same league as what it was before I got here.
The growth, the change, itâs wild.
And it hit me: itâs exactly the same feeling I have as a copywriter and web developer starting out on social media.
Right now, everything feels new and awkward.
Some days, I donât want to post. And guess what? I donât.
Other days, Iâll stare at what Iâve written and think,
âThis is too boring, no oneâs going to care.â
So I donât post.
And then there are days where life gets so busy with academics that I completely forget I even have a page to post on.
Itâs unfamiliar territory, no doubt. But I know something: the only way out is through.
Iâm willing to keep going until it feels natural, until posting content is second nature.
The goal is to reach that stage where I donât even think twice before uploading.
So until then, Iâll keep showing up. Keep forging ahead.
What about you?
Are you ready to push through the unfamiliar until it becomes your new normal?
PS: I decided to spam you with my matric pictures đ
