This hostel life
The first word that came out was "trenches,"
The nervous feeling of staying there ,
First ,second day ,into weeks, months, and counting year .
Waking up early
Not with rooster voice
Shouting and singing alarm of the beginning of the dawn
But with a thick ,dried voice ,forcing the voice with every energy in them ,that is clearing , and banging of the doors, bucket, water sounds, and the courtyard woman that booze our ears with so much talk ,and query ,and end up making little jokes .
The keeping up to an 8am. class ,with an empty water tank
Used by your lazy ass roommates ,
Bathing with the fear not to get caught by an already vexed cleaner,
Running your heels ,trying to meet the best position, end up seeing the class filled up by 7:20
How tf do you guys do this thing?
Every corner of this hostel is filled with persons , no private life , and no personal space. If these four corner walls could speak ,I bet there are different romantic life it would give .
Th tears that dropped there ,consciously or unconsciously.
And here we have the first time lovers
Making calls at 2 a.m. , going out throughout the week ,coming to the hostel to spend the weekend ,
Whose love story can't be hidden .
Nothing to show for their midnight trip around the moon , no love cards ,no flowers, not even plastic
Just their name saved as my forever on the phone, and so many butterflies in their belly .
Most sartuday's mornings are ruined by the hostel governor ,
It's sanitation, yess
Leaving that bed by 5 a.m. ,coming out in cold ,to work and end up giving toilets ,and your friends and people you know. ,takes nothing.
Mentioning and dragging your name in an anonymous , brought the brain in you ,and reminded you that you are an admin abii .
And then we mark every night ,and in a week with a little chaos or drama ,
Hostel governors and hall representatives ,just spice and make it juicy ,like the suya man in front of the hostel .
But a full water drum ,neat dishes ,
Phone and power bank charged ,and a full spiced pot , hidden in a tent ,is where the joy lies , even with the lousy roommates,it's more like our happiness.
And these trenches have gradually become a solace it my life changes for another phase
