2 March 2025 @Marianneweste Freewrite writing prompt Day 2663: The Freshman

You know it's very hard for a fish to survive in a new environment. I have found myself in several places which I could not adapt to the environment so fast So it's a bit affecting affects my My well-being However, I've done my best to learn to be in a place where I supposed to be for a particular moment Of a period or time.

As a first timer in higher institution you know in my school they call the new student fresher 🤓 And it is so funny that it will be showing all over you.
Those that they have been in that place for a while seeing you for their first time could tell that yes you are a fresher.

A new comer in this particular place especially in the school when I got admission into the University to study, you know it's a new place a new environment I've never been before so I try my best to adapt to the environment.
So as times goes on like in my school where I just came as a new student I try to mingle with students Mingle with friends

trying to learn and adapt to the lecturers trying to cope with some of the activities in the school And this helped me a lot and got me Familiar with the school and the environment.

So some of the challenges As a "Freshman" in the school, is that you'll be seeing your timetable A place where you've never been before and you were being called to go for lectures and sometime it is impromptu It will just take you on expected and before you know you'll be searching for venue up and down going up and down because you are a new student and before you know sometimes we Barely come to class early because of the new environment we found ourselves, we don't know places and we don't know venue Schedules for classes to take place.

It was gradually I Understood the places within the environment so I later identify it easily.
Many a time I found myself with different kind of people in a different class. Some time I attend classes with other department not knowing it's a wrong place for me to be at that moment immediately I settled down seeing everyone faces and listening to what the lecturer are teaching would made me feel no ! I did not belong here, I will quickly leave and maybe call a friend or check again our departmental platform to confirm the appropriate venue for the lecture. It was a funny 🤣 and true experience during the first time in the high school. Meeting with friends you've never plan to meet and some time the first people you met, may not later be the last friends you will be with to the end.
