Campus Student
By: Brian Nabungolo
Worth Noting:
- The soaring issue about relationships is a matter of talks in campus. We comrades are working on the relationships than education an angle one can’t be left behind. The market hype is real despite of heartbreaks and cheating one brace him or herself for any and anytime.
- While strolling on campus or off the campus areas especially during evening hours, you wouldn’t walk past ten metres without seeing Juliette and Romero being cosy with each other, hands tight unattached in hoodies and a wrapped sukuma wiki of ten bob heading to their rentals during evening hours. Being unable to get your better half, it’s a sign of being a weakling and your often jeered by fellow friends.
The cycle of university life has hugely changed with the pendulum of life and change of generation. With ours being the generation Z, we take everything casual in a matrix of short cut which has downgraded the authenticity and the tag of ‘scholar’ for current students of higher institutes of learning.
In today’s generation, attendance of lecture lessons students are non committal and give such lectures a wide bath, lecturers ending up begging students to attend classes.
Surprisingly most of students when asked why they’re not attending classes, confidently one can tell you that he or she is busy with their stuffs and the scheduling of the class collided with their personal important stuffs. And these personal stuffs are maybe sleeping, watching movies and recycling movies at movie shops, relationships affairs and fun fares around.
We usually appear and reappear during continuous assessment tests and main exams . One can ask are not there class attendance lists to sign? Well, there are but not serious, we got loyal friends who attend all classes and we share to them our admissions number, sign for us and give updates regarding the scheduling of CATs and main exams.
Unlike those days when campus life was full of book worms despite of the scarcity of libraries students of those era would sacrifice and go to resource center and read, our generation, there’s non committal to library visits. The accessibility of online soft copy materials has widened our distance with library. One can finish a whole semester without stepping on library building and he or she is well with it with zero fear of getting a supplementary.

Also, the hype of being a hardcore teetotaler without going off after taking few glasses of liquor is another tag and respect we get here in campus pubs. One can go without food but a keg of liquor, it’s the order of the day here.
The generation Z, the way we carry our ourselves in campus and colleges downgrades the audacious respect higher level of learning the world used to have. We’re no longer surprised to see D’s and F’s in our transcripts anymore, the issue of taking supplementary have become a normalcy not a laughing stock again but the laughter will come when your taking more than one supplementary. For now the scholars tag has receded as a deflating balloon.
