FRESHERS' ANTICIPATION TOWARD THEIR FIRST RESULTS

By Olaleye feranmi


It is inevitable to say that freshers get highly curious when expecting their first-semester results. Meanwhile, it is a normal thing. After doing about 8 to 10 courses in the first semester, while juggling a series of activities like registration, orientation, matriculation, and other extracurricular activities, and still going to classes at the same time, it becomes very hard for students to attend classes regularly. Most students don’t start attending some classes until the 4th or 5th week, when the course has already progressed significantly.

Oftentimes, when you hear students conversing among themselves and asking about the classes they've attended and the ones they haven't, you'll notice that the number of classes they've attended is quite low compared to the ones they've missed. You'll hear things like, "I can’t kill myself," "We’ll cross the bridge when we get there," and many more phrases like that.

Eventually, they'll write the exams. And after that, you'll hear comments like, "I’m not even sure I did the right thing in the exam," "That GES105 instructor is too strict with his questions," "I’m not even sure I’ll get up to a C in that SPE102," "It can only shock me; it can’t kill me," "I’ll do better next semester, academic comeback," and many more statements like that.

At the beginning of the second semester, students start anticipating their results, praying that they come out positive. They begin checking the RMS portal from time to time and also check departmental and school groups for updates. At the end of the day, the results will eventually be released for everyone to check. However, if you get to check it immediately, that's great; most times, you might have to wait two to three days due to heavy traffic on the portal.

Eventually, the results will favor some, while it won’t be good for others. Dear reader, if you are among those who were favored, know this: this is not the end; you’ve just started. Put in more effort and work harder to achieve that first-class degree you're dreaming of.

And to you, my dear reader, who wasn’t favored, hear this: your result does not define your worth. Hard work and diligence do. So strive hard toward the first-class degree you're looking forward to; it is still possible.
