so my classes started yesterday after the orientation and other moving activities for freshmen and international student ... so the number one challenge most student are facing right now is buying of books ... lol this can kill your budget if you dont plan well i dont advice buying a book most of the courses you will be doing in your first semester will be dropped after you finish 1st semester so the book will be useless if you buy them unless you wanna resell them a typical book is nothing less than $100 depending on your classes so instead of using your school's bookshop which can be expensive i'll advice using sources like Amazon.com and chegg.com you can rent books there as cheap as $20 and return it at the end of the semester or you can also buy a used book on amazon if its a kinda book you will be referencing with. also if you make friends with upper classmen you can ask who took the classes you are taking in their first year most of them probably bought the books and if they havent reselled it , they will be more than happy to lend you or you can buy it cheaper from them

so i headed to my room and was watching videos on youtube then my friend who told me i have had enough texted me and was asking were the others are because she left to take care of another who was drunk so i headed down to see her and she told me what was happening like the party got busted by campus security FU*ck!!!! i was like sh*t : they underage drinkers, someone drinking with minors, smoke in dorm and stuff they probably would get kicked out and most half of people there wer international student .. my friend i met on my way earlier was there not just up to 3 minutes before they were busted but he had hookah and not alcohol so he had to take a breathalyzer test and he blew 0.0 so he was good.... the whole dorm was quite that night cause shit was happening in some rooms too
as i went back to my room and made sure all people wer fine and wer being interrogated i was reflecting i was thinking " Na like so i wan take go back house after all the things they've been thru to put me here i will just dissapoint them like that i havent even done two weeks and i have been deported Village people must be involved thats why i warned them back home not to spread the news ( i am just kidding) so their school id was captured and i was so disturbed that night worried about my friends and thanking God i left earlier lol so at the end of the day no one got deported i think charges wer pressed but later taken down they wer just given a warning because o love my schools violation policy so everyone is fine and trying to perform well in classes mind you we are not shameless student without goals or not that we didnt know what brought us to school it was weekend and we wanted to chill after schools stress we deserved it just that we wer underage

SO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR SCHOOLS ALCOHOL POLICY CAUSE NOT ALL SCHOOLS ARE UNDERSTANDING AND DONT DRINK ALCOHOL IF YOU ARE UNDERAGE DONT EVEN BE IN EVENTS WERE ALCOHOL IS IF YOU ARE UNDERAGE AS YOU MIGHT ALSO BE IMPLICATED SO BE SAFE
ANOTHER WEEKEND I WANNA SEE WHAT THEY WILL PLAN TO DO MAYBE WE WILL GO FOR CHURCH SERVICE FRIDAY EVENING

Please prospective and already students lol I want to take God and beg you no matter how healthy you think you are please Pay your health insurence as soon as it expires renew it immediate don't feel like you're giving out free money your life depends on it.
So I've been having this pains at my abdominal region after 4 days of bouncing the pain thinking I can endure it until it stops coupled with the fact that I am not a hospital person( I hate going to the hospital ) not until the pain made me miss my calculus class which I had a quiz and it started hindering me from doing my assignments because I have shit tonnes of assignment. Due next week did I ask my friend to drop me off at the hospital .. They did series of testes I've never had so much blood taken out of my body. then I had to do a CT scan lol as a sharp guy given i know medical care is not free i quickly googled CT scan cost so that when the nurse comes back I'll tell her I'm not doing again depending on how much it cost.. The cost ranged for $700 to $1000 . as I was still practicing how to recite my disapproval statement the nurse just entered and asked if I had my health insurance luckily I brought it out and guess what It's gonna expire in 10 days time because I only insured my health for 3 months to save cost thinking it's all going to waste . so I gave her the card she scanned it then I had to ask I ain't paying for $hit right ? She said yes then I felt relived and was able to sleep on the bed they kept me smiling imagin if my health insurance expired days ago where will I start producing that amount in short time to pay.. So now I'm back home on medication and I have promised myself the first day I feel a symptom I'll be on my way to the hospital ..(also I took a shot to my butt ) never in my life did I imagine I'll ever encounter a butt shot . after I begged the nurse for like 5 minutes to do it in my arms she refused na so I jejely pull my pant down lol .....
