Semester Hacks

Fellow comrades, finally, we are back to business and it is no doubt that a good number of us cannot wait to get this semester done and dusted,dont worry, I got you.

Surviving in this cold side of the Rift doesnot only need perseverance but also some God sent skills.Firstly, academics with no time to revell makes john a dull comrade,you have 5 days in a week to attend lecturers, please sign off in style. Friday nights tend to be boring if only you got your bed as company, you need sometime out. For those who do not prefer subjecting their livers tounnecessary torture, you can try hit up the guy who arogantly made you cut the journey to your room only for him to ask for your number and promised to get back to you, and ask him if you could spend the night at his place while you catch up some latest marvel series or even complete assignments!

For our brothers and sisters who have openly decided to promote the brewing industry, Friday night is the day you have been waiting for, hit up your crew and make sure the ratio is well balanced before you set out for the liqour store.

The rains are proving to 'board' and all we can do is to respect mother nature, keep warm! That short girl or the light skin model you have been flooding her phone with some mediocre 'I love you' text messages and finally gave you the green lights, this is the semester to let her move in and save her from the unplanned coil crisis that in most cases leaves her having half cooked food for supper. For the girls, this is the time to get back to your ex who unceremoniously left you for some fresha in the school of arts and remind him that you still got the sauce.

The coil phenomenon is slowly dwindling thanks to the renovation of Hostel H which I must admit is long overdue and something surely needs to be done, but for our fellow comrades in the Soweto hostels, the aroma of deep fried omena at odd hours of the day should seriously be brought back to life, for its only in that omena that you save your intestinal worms from having to take 2 slim KDFs for supper during mid sem.

I know by now, we have all seen the memo from the dean of students addressing the 10 to 10 rule, for most of us , the memo is inconsequential, but for the few , please refuse to board when she refuses to take you to her room and rather opts for the lobby. First, the Ayiro effect, has made the lobby dates expensive with the introduction of hostel canteens , secondly and most importantly, as a comrade you can not risk your reputation and health conditions just for some annoying security guards to pick you up and extort money from you in the name of avoiding the senate, but when push comes to shove and you are caught, just walk with them untill the library area and show them a new pair of heals, they are too stiff and incompetent to run.

Finally , for the freshmen, when it is time to sit for your sit in CATS, please abandon that girl who had class rep zoned you and only texts you when she is unsure of a class, this is the time to embrace your fellow boychild, help him cheat and make sure the girl child appreciate your being around next time.

Artful Deception.

That morning, I stood rooted to the tiled floor with my hands on the poorly done window grills. I had been examining the structure that we called home. The Sun was lazy, casting weak monotonous rays on the ground. It had sufficiently rained the previous night and the air was still fresh.  Since my childhood, I had enjoyed the petrichor, it had a way of pumping life into my dead hopes, and couldn't wait for a few droplets of rain to hit the ground. It was a moment I always craved for. Half past seven in the morning, if not for the birds chirping so melodiously I wouldn't have travelled back to reality. "Normal is boring." I said to myself reaching for my phone that was religiously playing my favorite Bob Marley playlist. Nobody can stop reggae. The tweets that day were not as snappy as I would have wanted. Something was eating me up but still I couldn't figure it out, at least not at a time when Bob was reassuring that things would be alright. Music to me had alway

Please Get Tired.

I write, You notice, You assume, I get disconnected And curse. " It's hard to show love to a stone" of no worth it is  making love to a marble, Shinny and elegant, Only adapting to the degree of my loving when in the same room And nothing is the same when we hug and part ways. I write You marvel Share it to friends And say "That was master class" You find it hard to read between the lines. Not born for the art, so you wont relate Our connection is relative, Like an uncle to a niece It's hi when we meet and high time when we don't. I notice You care less I get disconnected I miss her But who listens? I refuse to build a foundation on a forced connection I don't want to end up losing myself when you finally slip away like she did. Please get tired, and let me try to win her love back. I write Get tired And hope That if tomorrow ever comes with the darkness it left with, Then I would sit and wait for her to come aroun

If Yesterday was Tomorrow.

And, if yesterday was tomorrow, What would you have done differently? Would you write that which the mouth was even afraid to whisper? Be a little bit poetic and feed the world with feelings, Just like any other slave of the pen? If yesterday was tomorrow_ Would you let the sun set with your heart still hurting? Would you  still call men dogs Just because a few like bones like you do? If yesterday was tomorrow, Would you talk of how it never comes And sing, hoping that You finally became a star? Would you share the last piece saved on your diary? Or, you would just have written another piece to entertain the skeletons in your closet, those that really never come out? If yesterday was to come after today would you still be talking of a having gruelling day and still seat and swipe your gadgets all night long lost in the virtual world? If yesterday was the day after today, Would you still claim to ride with your friends, Would you still talk of them the same way? For m
