Majorly, I wish I was told of the kind of people I was going to meet there. All I was told was 'Don't keep bad company' but there's more to this as there are a lot of 'good company' that aren't good friends. I moved with good people but 'unserious' ones as this dragged me down at the easiest academic stage of my study. My first result taught me my lesson.
Also, I wished I was told how not to be so nice to people as they rarely ever reciprocate your deeds. Was and still really generous to my course mates to the point of giving out or sharing my last items i.e provisions and money, but when the need arises on my part they turn blind eyes, deaf ears and sometimes, even laugh at me. Painful. Learning to stop.
One other thing I wish was hammered before my advancement to the tertiary institution is me investing a great percentage of my time and resources into 'spirituality'. Hardly prayed or visited chapel of freewill, was almost always forced to until recently when i realized how much I have missed. Now, I strive to make up for lost time and pray for God's grace and help.
Finally, I wish I was told to stop being such a shy wimpy person. Pushed away a lot of right people and now I wish I didn't. Now, I only have room mates, course mates, neighbors and church mates with no friends. That's not good enough,so i'm changing it.
These are among many things I wish I was taught or at least before hand. Other things are meager, things that I learnt to live with or changed easily or just don't matter. Hope these would be learnt from.
Thank you.
