LIFE ON CAMPUS FOR TIMI
Campus life looked glamorous from the outside, freedom, friendships, parties, and endless dreams. For Timi, stepping into the university felt like stepping into a new world. No parents, no curfews, just possibilities.
At first, the excitement consumed him. Late-night readings were replaced with loud music, alcohol, and endless parties. New friends promised fun and fast money. Lectures became optional, assignments forgotten. Timi told himself he had time.
Soon, pressure crept in. Money ran out. Grades dropped. To survive, he followed friends into darker paths. He attended secret meetings, tasted illegal deals, and learned how shortcuts could buy comfort—but steal peace. Fear became his companion. Every knock on the door made his heart race.
Exams arrived like a storm. Panic spread as Timi realized he was unprepared. He failed courses, lost his scholarship, and watched serious classmates move ahead while he stood still. One night, after narrowly escaping arrest during a raid, he sat alone and called his mother. Her broken voice cut deeper than any punishment.
That was the turning point.
Timi withdrew from the chaos. He changed friends, returned to lectures, and accepted the shame of starting over. The road back was slow and painful. People mocked him. Results improved gradually. Discipline replaced recklessness.
By final year, campus no longer felt glamorous—it felt honest. When Timi finally held his certificate on graduation day, tears filled his eyes. He had lost time, friends, and pride—but not his future.
Lesson ;Freedom without discipline leads to destruction, but it’s never too late to choose a better path.

The decision didn’t come with fireworks or sudden courage. It came quietly, early one morning, when Lagos was still rubbing sleep from its eyes.
