Transmogrification Of a female Campus Student

This article is a continuation of :  PART II: Transmogrification Of a  Female Campus Student (Second Year)

Admission to university conjures up visions of a place plenty of hope and a haven of unlimited freedom. But those who have passed through these institutions will tell you that there is more to university life than the supposed glamour. Each academic year comes with a new experience,right from being code-named ''gold'' in the first year to called ''archive'' in the fourth year. Here is an exploration of the transmogrification of a third & a fourth year campus student.

A THIRD YEAR FEMALE STUDENT

This is where you get highest number of single girls. The young woman has been to hell and back; fought with another over a man, been impregnated and ditched etc. She understands men very well. She knows all lines men use. She is mature and she can help you when in need and are always kind .

According to *Weeds, a student at a local university, a 3rd year woman is stable and good material for a wife but a few men have time for them. Their stories are' too well' known. For instance, the number of guys they dated in the first year, how many abortions they have attempted etc.They also have a couple of haters.The men they shunned in the previous years ,who keep scaring away prospective ''investors'' with their sordid stories like ''Huyu? Wewe kwisha!'',''Ni kuro'' etc,. Some stories are usually clear lies.

 Those that are already in a relationship are very obsessive  to keep her man from going after a ''fresher''. She monitors his movements and ensures that he is always by her side. Some crazy ones can resort to desperate measures like moving in a man's room and doing the laundry, leave alone cooking. The length of the skirt at this stage does not matter since her anatomy is too well known... ha ha ha.

The good thing with third years, they get hurt less easily since they know life now. They start dressing decently and dedicate their time to books and others start returning to churches. The bad thing is that you always hear them talking how men are beasts, idiots, yet its only one man who hurt them.

FOURTH YEARS

There is little to talk about 4th yr women. They seem like forgotten lot and their hostels refferred to as ''archives''. They have no focus on what is happenning in campus but focus on their future,job and maybe family. They take studies seriously and attend various conferences and lectures to enrich their cv's, ...

SECOND YEARS.

Like form two students in high school, 2nd years are the notorius lot in campus. They feel that they are bonafide members of the university and its this lot that often agitates for ''rights'' for women , everything completely changes from the style of dressing to speaking style and the kind of pals they hang out with. The skirts get shorter, 'tights' and hipsters hold tightly the assets and arsenals, and the back is revealed more. They begin experimenting alcohol and other lethal drugs which they eventually get hooked to. Coming to class late is now normal and her revealed body parts and structures are constant distraction to classmates especially male students and a times lecturers.

She starts skipping classes since she is too busy attending other engagements to fight off competition from ''freshers'', she casts her net wider and shuns the campus men. Men dating a woman at this stage is hell, stress and headache since second years are very competitive, getting advances from lecturers, senior students and maybe sugar-dadies. Men are not judged by the content of their hearts but by the size and depth of both pockets.

According to *Juliet, a 4th yr student, the 2nd yr has the highest number of players. This is where one discovers the power of luscious looks. You often hear them brag that they are dating the ''working class'' dudes. Bankers, managers, businessmen, doctors and other professionals run after them. Statements like ''my dude is in canada....blah blah'' are common at this stage. Many lead lavish lifestyle and no weekends finds them in school. They are taken out in sleeky cars by the ''working class''.

By the end of the second year , a good number of them IF NOT CAREFUL  either get pregnant or may  have aborted.

Admission to university conjures up visions of a place plenty of hope,a haven of unlimited freedom,and at the end of it all,a dream carrier. But those who have passed through these institutions will tell you that there is more to university life than the supposed glamour. Due to peer pressure some end up doing doing things they never dreamt of such as the church youth leader in the village who ends up becoming a drug addict.

For women especially,it is a life of self-discovery and experimentation. Each academic year comes with a new experience,right from being code-named ''gold'' in the first year to called ''archive'' in the fourth year.

FIRST YEARS

When *Juliet was admitted to Egerton University to study languages four years ago,she was the happiest girl on earth. She had always dreamt of working with embassy and earning a good salary. She was the first in her village to join such an exalted institution.She was a devoted christian and a choir leader at her local church and everyone adored her in the village. She was a role model and a real life example to many small youth who admired to be like her. She joined Laikipia campus with an ambition of becoming proficient in at least six foreign languages at the end of four years. 

When she was warned of the wayward behaviour at university by the students leader's, she dismissed the caution! ''How could a person in her right mind smoke and drink!'',.... but she was to learn that worse things can happen. With 10 broken relationships under her belt, she is now struggling to recover the addiction to alcohol and desperately clinging to an elusive boyfriend who had once promised to marry her.The jovial carefree girl with ambitions of becoming a diplomat is no more today she would accept any job as long as it puts food on the table and clothes at her back. ''I cant tell what really happened and when i took a wrong turn'' she says.

When young women join campus,they are easily distinguishable from the rest of the crowd. For the first few weeks,most of them are humble and focused. They have dreams and ambitions (DNA), among this lot expressions like ''earning a first class honours'',''pursuing a masters degree immediately or ''investing my first salary'' are common. They have high expectations of learning so the number of first years who skip classes is low. They also submit assignments on time and are obedient to lectures and lecturers. It is during this stage that a campus girl can tell you what kind of a man she wants in life without narrating any sad experience with men, the type of car she wanna drive, what firm she wanna work for, the countries she would like to fly to e.t.c

Since most students at the campus come from upcountry, they join campus clad in very nicely, presentable and hygienic attires i.e cute skirts and sweetly knit blouses, flat shoes etc. They walk in groups and mostly associate with those from their home districts and their former schoolmates. They get to learn skills like learning to use ''flush'' toilets at campus. A large number of them are dedicated members of christian unions and hardly miss any Bible study sessions.

At this stage the senior male students are easily available and generous. Some start saving early for ''gold rush peak season''. These male students have their rooms stacked with sophisticated electonic gadgets, packets of sweets and biscuits, juices and other snacks. The room floors are adorned with shining carpets. They use this as bait to win the hearts of first year girls. Infact, most of them refer the rooms with names like ''kichinjio, old traford, theatre of dreams, the 3 musketeers, stamford bridge, emirates e.t.c''.These men also frequent the first year's women hostels carrying chips, biscuits, popcorn and other sweet stuff.

At this stage in her evolution,the first year girl has the allure of hotcakes and her phone is busy. Her schedule is very tight with invitations coming in fast and furious.She is promulgated and spoilet for choice where suitors are concerned. Many of these men will have dumped their second, third and fourth year girlfriends in favour of ''freshers''.Towards the end of the first semester, the ''civilization and promulgation'' process begins and the new members want to feel part and parcel of ''campus life''.

A large part of their budget is dedicated to buy 'tights', high-heeled shoes and expensive bags. Their walking style changes from nice walking to dancing-catwalking. They also buy loads of cosmetics and beauty products and change their hairstyles every fortnight. Some realise the importance of body fitness by doing exercises or going to gym, reason? ''I want to shade off some weight and slim''. Others discover they have a flat figure and try to gain some figure- china made figure. The girl discovers that she is no longer in the village but at an institution of higher learning where there is a lot of freedom-no parent interferance. They discover new friends and their language changes.  They begin to use words like ''as in'', ''kinda'', ''dont mind'' ,''dude'', ''wooow", "GFF" etc. As they are talking the facial expressions and body works are exageratted to talk like celebs like Tyra banks,jlo,Winfrey, name them......

Towards the end of the second semester many enter miss university concerts!...before i forget many of them have new china made phones and they discover the power of music by walking head high with earphones in their ear sockets.

SECOND YEARS.

My facebook timeline, these days, is filled with posts from heterosexuals lecturing 'the bigoted haters' on gay rights ( whatever those are). I recently witnessed a shamelessly sensual sodomite spam my friend's phone with lecherous texts all in the name of the right to love. Trust me, nothing could be more nauseating and demeaning than being seduced by a fellow man...

The pro-gay bush activists aren't stopping at anything; they've politicized the matter, tying it to Obama visit. Lads who know nought about girls have turned into murderous antagonists and religious defenders of homosexuals. Googling gay friendly articles and spreading them as gospel truth is becoming trendy. I'm informed that you look more exposed, informed and liberal when you defend gay. Some political minions, the tragic tribalists now have a weapon against each other.






An attempt to engage them with facts (that homosexuality is philosophically, religiously and scientifically self-defeatist; that Kenya mustn't follow everything American; that we aren't ready to be raped by lasciviously filthy men) only attracts torrid words and assignment of ugly monikers.

Why do the homos feel the need to inform us of their existence? Do they see us roaming these streets with rainbow colored profile pictures to announce our sexual orientation?

Your sexual orientation is your business, why then the need for validation from the society?

My problem with that conduct is that it wants to bring filth and disgust into my living room.Again, there is nothing as filthy as a man in another's business!

I never thought that in my lifetime I will hear another man cry that they have been denied an opportunity to romp another man!!

Prof. Micheni from Maasai mara University has this to say to students:
Academic excellence is overrated! I said it. Being top of your class does not necessarily guarantee that you will be at the top of life. You could graduate as the best student in Finance but it doesn't mean you will make more money than everybody else. The best graduating Law student does not necessarily become the best lawyer.
The fact is life requires more than the ability to understand a concept, memorise it and reproduce it in an exam. School rewards people for their memory. Life rewards people for their imagination. School rewards caution, life rewards daring. School hails those who live by the rules. Life exalts those who break the rules and set new ones.

So do I mean people shouldn't study hard in school? Oh, no, you should. But don't sacrifice every other thing on the altar of First Class. Don't limit yourself to the classroom. Do something practical. Take a leadership position. Start a business and fail. That's a better Entrepreneurship 101.Join or start a club. Contest an election and lose. It will teach you something Political Science 101 will not teach you. Attend a seminar. Read books outside the scope of your course. Go on missions and win a soul for eternal rewards.

Comrades: Do something you believe in! Think less of becoming an excellent student but think more of becoming an excellent person. Make the world your classroom.
Step forward try politics, try business, try an extra thing great person.
