UI graduate shares unpleasant academic journey
Identified as @Thepentane_ on X, the man shared how he ended up with a mental strugle amid carryovers while in school.
His words:
"I remember in 2021, just two months before my admission as a Direct Entry Chemistry student to UI, I was over 2 million naira in debt. I seriously considered opting out and not resuming school at all. Eventually, I pushed through and resumed anyway. It was an intense mental struggle.
"In my first semester, I somehow managed to pass all my courses. But the second semester was brutal, I ended up with three carryovers, and that was the beginning of serious academic struggle. As I struggled to rewrite those carryover courses, I started failing my current ones too.
"There is this course in particular, CHE 218 (Introductory Analytical Chemistry), it haunted me, I kept registering and retaking it from 200 level all the way to my final year before I finally passed it.
"My entire time at UI was academically brutal and exhausting, struggling with career, academic and Debt.
"Thank God for my close friends and cliques, they supported me and helped me pull through. Graduating from UI felt like a miracle aswear. Honestly, there were many moments when I never believed I would make it. Thank God for life now, I'm grateful."

"Bro! I remember the session my phone was stolen, my family house got burned and we lost everything, and my bicycle was also stolen too. When results came out after exams, I had a carryover in a course, not because I didn't do well, but because the woman chose to fail me."
