UI final-year student laments struggle
Oluwagbemi Adedun from the Department of Philosophy had earlier hoped that her 400 level (final year) would be her 'soft life era,' but was met with reality, which she claimed she was not prepared for.

In her words:
"Final year was supposed to be my soft life era… but reality had other plans.
I recently resumed as a final-year student in the Department of Philosophy, and it’s already proving to be quite different from what I expected😞. I honestly thought my final year would be chill, but it’s turning out to be both demanding and growth-filled.
During the holidays, I completed my Industrial Training at the Directorate of Public Communication, University of Ibadan."
Speaking about her IT experience, she said it was life-changing, but the accommodation was stressful.
"It was a truly enriching and life-changing experience. I learned a lot. Although navigating accommodation challenges during that period was quite stressful, I’m grateful for the experience overall," she added.
Upon resuming a new session (400 level), she now faces new challenges, from course registration to dealing with a demanding project supervisor.
Her LinkedIn post read:
"Now, back to school life, new challenges here and there. From sorting out course registration forms (100–300 level) to being assigned a highly feared and famously demanding supervisor, it’s clear that this final phase will require more work and determination.
Here’s to pushing through, learning, and finishing strong.😊"
