Welp, you got everything perfectly about the breaks and home. Home that we're supposed to come rest after a long and stressing semester, parents will na turn us to errand boys/girls; the law in the mud.

We have no choice sha. Home is our happy place. Live it, love it. ❤️

PS: I look forward to mum marrying you off. 😂🤝

😂where is the lie?

As a girl, once you're a university student, just know that your mother is helping you count down to the day you'll get married.

So, every chance she gets, she drops marriage advice.

I love the way you write Ayo.😍

It's my first time reading your diary and it's a thrilling experience.

Being overly active and stressed in school give me a sense of purpose. Like, I'm actually doing something with my life.

Aswr my mom has been like this too. Lately she has been telling me some of our village traditions and customs and if we're talking she will be relating everything to *when you get married....* And I'm like this woman, if you want to talk to me, talk to me directly don't go through the corners😂 or this TikTok sound just randomly pops in my head. "You're chasing me away, so soooon. Commonnnn" 😂💔

Thank God I’m not the only one. I was starting to think I was the only one that her mother wanted to marry off.😂🤲🏾 The marriage advices; the relations of every conversation to “husband’s house” and “when you get married”; the topic of the traditions and customs.. ha ha. Talk to me direct, this woman!😂😂

This sound literally played in my head.😭😂😂😂

Thank you so much for your comment.🥺❤️
