300 level student drops out, prepares for UTME
Identified as @m.webber2 on TikTok, the lady shared her academic story and struggles and why she had to leave school at 300 level to start over again.
Her words:
"One minute, you're in 300 lvl preparing for your IT. The next minute you're reading for JAMB. I chose myself, you should too. I've always told myself, "Something that drains you is not for you." In 2021, I wrote my first JAMB exam to study medicine, but it wasn't enough. In 2022, I wrote my second JAMB exam, still aiming for medicine, but I was offered Med Lab Science. I was happy, but my parents refused to let me attend FUTO, saying I was too young to be so far from home.
"In 2023, I wrote my third JAMB exam and was advised to change my course to Human Anatomy to gain admission. I didn't know much then, and my parents were tired of me rewriting JAMB, so I agreed, hoping to switch to medicine in 200 level. But I didn't know I was walking into a nightmare. There were signs, but I was ignorant. I had missing results in 100 level and ended up with a bad CGPA. I got sick almost every week and went home to treat myself.
"Let's talk about my mental health. I experienced my first panic attack and almost lost my life. In 200 level, it got worse, insomnia, depression, anxiety attacks. I looked like someone in a mental hospital, and it was obvious. My department exhausted me, the school and environment drained me, and the course I lacked passion for left me looking like a madman.
"When people ask, I'll say, "It's school, it's normal. School stresses you out." The brainbox daughter and student suddenly turned to the trash box. My CGPA was so bad I couldn't push further, so I left... quietly, silently, without anyone knowing. I told my siblings, and they were happy because they didn't like the course. Then I told my parents, and they knew if I had to make that decision, things had gotten bad.
"I felt for my mom becos she had announced to the world that I was graduating soon, but it's my life, and I value my mental health.
"It's been 5 months since I left, and I've never been happier. Here's my advice to whoever is in my shoes: It's never too late to leave. If you're scared to leave because of money, don't worry...leave first, and money will follow."
