To All The Boys I've Ever Dated__ P.S... I Still Love You ✔

5

1 year,6months, 3weeks, 4days, 16 hours, 30 minutes, and 25 seconds. That was the amount of time I sept enjoying my freedom of being single. Yes you head that right, I was single and I was loving it! After I promise myself that very Monday morning in the year 2015 I made sure to keep to that promise.

I avoided ever male species born of a man and woman like they were a plague, or they had a communicable disease that could lead to death in less than 12 hours. Yes, it was that bad, I did everything in my power to decline and rejected all the advance the human male species were throwing at me. I dedicated all my time and energy to loving my self and focusing on my academics instead.

Of cause that paid off a great deal, because right now you are starting at a secondary school graduate. Yeap you read that right, it was a tough one but I did what could to earn that title. I studied all day long, heck all night long, I even made a new best friend along the line in the name of Reyner Udop.

{ Best Friend: Reyner Udop. An Art student a 16-year-old teenager who looks 15 but matured enough to be 20. A tall young girl standing at the average height of 5:6, she is dark chocolate in complexion, hazel brown eyes, with a well-sculpted over face}

Reyner and I became friends the minute our Senior WAEC Started. {West Africa Examination Council} Our friendship bloomed and blossomed like the sunflower but neither did my friendship with Sumibola wither. We were the trios, fearless and unstoppable and more importantly, we are willing to take on whatever external and internal exams our school was ready to throw at us.

Graduation came by with its uncertain certainties and in as much as I was delighted to be out of this secondary school system, I was terrified of what the university system held in store for me. As usual, my two best friends were optimistic and I, on the other hand, was too terrified of the result of all the exams I have taken, to fake a smile. Sumibola and Reyner were genuinely happy and very optimistic and for a moment their optimism rubbed off on me.

I was finally able to simile and not worrying what my Senior WEAC result would look like nor what My NECO {National Examination Council}
result would look like, even the thoughht of whether or not I would get accepted into my dream university, UNILAG {University of Lagos}, that didn't cross my mind either. I was happy, and I took as many pictures with my friends as much as possible. Especially with my best friends and their parents. It's not every time you get to successfully finish secondary school.

In case you didn't know, I spent 6 years in secondary school with no reason to repeat a class, no reason to be expelled or suspended, I finished with a clean slate and a good academic record. This and much more was the purpose of graduation, to celebrate your achievement, and to mark a milestone in your life. Again it's not every day one successful completes there secondary school education.

There are a lot of things that could go horribly wrong in those 6 years in secondary school and for what it's worth I was glad that no one in my set were victims of those horrible things. I kept on taking pictures until there was no space on my small Samsung Android phone, which my mom got me the day before graduation in 2016.

I was happy I was finally allowed to use the phone and I didn't hesitate to take as many pictures as I could with it. Even when the memory was full I wasn't disappointed I continued taking pictures with my mom's phone. It was my graduation and even though she didn't like the idea of me taking pictures with her phone she didn't complain. More importantly, I was glad I had exchange contact with everyone in my set so the idea of losing touch with anyone wasn't going to happen until they probably change their numbers.
