"On paper, it sounds like a simple change of course. In reality, the journey was anything but simple. There were several moments of uncertainty, frustration, and exhaustion. I questioned my decision more times than I can count.
"There were nights I cried myself to sleep, days I felt mentally drained, and moments when giving up seemed like the best. There was a point when the portal glitched, and I was asked to restart the entire process. I almost gave up on "crossing" entirely."

She said she had just written her first examination as a Computer science student and shared her experience:

"These past few weeks have been the busiest, I was writing my first exams as a Computer Science Student which were emotionally, physically and worst of all mentally draining. I had times where I questioned my decisions but I am grateful for the gift of a strong support system. This is just the beginning."

Re-introducing herself, the 200-level student said:

"Today, I'm proud to re-introduce myself. I am Oluwakanyinsola Olatunji, a 200-level student in the Department of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, Faculty of Computing, University of Ibadan. If you are interested in my journey or you also crossed recently to another department, do well to connect with me."
