"Reintroducing Flourish Okwuasaba Chekwubechukwu, fresh graduate of Communication and Language Arts from the University of Ibadan, the first and best (UI people, say amen). Proudly graduating with a Second Class Upper Division degree.
Everyone still in school or about to enter: You won’t always feel motivated. Do it tired, but don’t stop. Keep your friendships tight. Some of them will save your life (and your GP). Take care of your mind. School is not a war zone, even though it feels like one sometimes. And finally, trust God. It’s Graduate Flourish now o. 🌚"
