The Fresher Dating Scene
Today at lunch my friends and I decided to survey the 'Fresher's dating scene'. "....when you're studying something like medicine, its always good to have a shoulder to cry on", a doctor recently said to me. All I can say at this point is that my fellow comrades are fast when it comes to finding companions. There are several couples on campus. Only God knows whether they will last or if they are for convenience. Don't be shocked, there are relationships for convenience. Why, you ask. You see, fresher life is difficult to put it simply. In other words, freshers are always broke. Even I have not been spared. It sucks. My wallet makes me want to cry whenever I open it. Even worse the parents are not on my side when I need them most. Yaani, I've learned the value of ten shillings. Back to the issue. Yes, campus dating scene. There are the infatuated ones who already look like they're married. No kidding. There's a couple that usually sits infront of me and I could already picture them as a married couple. It's that serious. Mind you, it's week 10. Then there are some who are just in a relationship for the sake. I guess they want to be noticed or something. Then there are the flirtatious type. I'm talking about boys and girls that flirt with everyone of the opposite sex. I see a girl giving sensual hugs to different guys every morning. Same girl. I guess I'm just not used to that. Did I say that I was in Catholic School for over a decade. Yes, and it's a story for another day. Then there are the single ladies like myself who will not date any freshers. Why you ask, one, I have a whole six years. What's the rush? I'll take my time before diving in. Plus the concept of having to see someone everyday, text them, "getting to know them"......It gives me a migraine. I'd rather spend my time getting to know our cadaver better. Atleast he's very cooperative and everyday with him is an interesting one for sure. Finally, wasee wamechapa. I will not expound further. Anyway we'll see how this dating thing works out. But currently, I'm not up for vetting any candidates. In good time, I'll be ready. Anyway, enjoy your weekend guys!!
