Hi, surprisingly this story is for you or me... I'm writing it in a way it is for you, written by me but it can also be interchangeable for you and I. I'll try as much as possible to capture you and I, using both us as main cast and I know you won't get confused in it bcuz u know it's for you Favour❤️

Of course I won't be writing a biography or an epistle about you, it's just going to be you from 28th June 2020 up till now...(now depicting whenever u are reading it)

My caption or title of the book isn't really interesting, but please read as u know it's for you, from someone with love.

Gospel Favour Ihuoma is my name..
Unlike many writers here, I'm Nigerian and guess what? I'm proud of that.😁
This is actually not chapter one, but something to capture ur mind on the journey ahead. Note too that typing is really my thing, so I'm gonna use slangs here too, provided u understand and get every point I'm saying.

Hey I'm not telling u everything about you here, just the interesting and funny ones. Like I said using ur experiences to depict the life of someone else...

Now back to the basics, My Name is Favour John....
I'm the first daughter of 5 and A lovely Marriage too. Don't ask me about my siblings or parents, u don't know them and besides I'm not going to really talk about them here.

Life is made of many things, too numerous to count. But right now I think my mind is on feelings.
Day1📙
Waking up to that wonderful feeling, yes I'm now an undergraduate and of course it's my dream course. With my admission coming yesterday I feel like I already need to leave house bcuz truthfully everything is choking me here as d seconds tick by, with almost all my necessities ready, I have to make a quick emergency list so as not to forget anything. Being the first undergraduate in my father's house I have this feeling that I'm going to be so so great. Come of it, this is not actually what u call girly attitudes and thoughts but actually something worth actualizing . I've been preparing myself for this period like I knew that the admission will come. Together with my Moms help I've put a whole lot together, clothes, books, name it. What ever I found reasonably useful was all packed up. Running my hand through my hair I remember that I need a hairdo. Trust me I'm not going to look skimpy in my first days at school. Favour!!!! I heard my Mom calling out my name from inside her room, I knew what she needed, my emergency list... I've long been complaining that I'm a grown up lady now and I need more clothes, to be frank with myself I think I need everything. It seems as if I need to get everything all over again, ignoring the boring question in my head; does every fresher behave this way?😂😂 Well that's a question that is so so unnecessary so I let my mind wander to the things I think I need, knowing this is the last opportunity to get whatever remains. I don't like lamenting and believe me if I don't calm down and draft this list well enough, when I get to school I'm really gonna do that.

My Mom calls my name again and this time I swear I noticed a tint of respect in it, not the usual and normal way of calling me. Wow I'm becoming a Ma'am already. Letting out a little giggle I responded to the calls with "I'm almost done Mum, just a few minutes more. U know I don't need to make any mistakes or forget anything "
In less than 5 minutes I'm done with the list and make my way to my Moms room. Will you be joining me? She asks. I would love to but remembering my mom doesn't add side lists to the one she has so I think it's not going to be a good idea. I would have loved to add some things I will see in the market , but I know my mom would have none of that, so I better stay at home and put finishing touches to my preparation and I almost forgot my hairdo. I'll be going to make my hair I finally replied. She kept silent and I know that the type of hairdo I'm going to get will be running through her mind until she sees it. We actually argued about it two days ago, with me telling her that I'm big enough to make my hair decisions..
