CAMPUS CULTURE

Identity dilemma is common among freshmen. What to adapt or drop. The diversity in behaviour is at its highest; creating anxiety.

Time checks on the indecisiveness and due to mass influence, campus culture emerges and develops among the young comrades. Parental consent is no longer sort on what to put on. Peer pressure scoops the advantage, and graduates to peer pleasure. Young men learn about slimming shirts and trousers. Ladies perfect on putting on all the styles in the market. Micro-miniskirts, bare backed tops, vests and shorts are elevated to lecture attires.

Parties are another acquired trait around campus. It is where bright sons and daughters of men learn how to stay 'high' (using drugs). Dance moves borrowed from Jamaican riddims flow. The parties are the main avenues of hooking up and post party affairs explain why virginities gets lost.

Campus unwritten rules involve watching movies and adopting their cultures. This is evident in use of vulgar language. Coupling and more so cohabiting exhibits the impact of movies. Fantasy in romance leads to breakups as the line between real and ideal gets blurred.

The spirit of harambee is at its best especially in issues surrounding comrades’ welfare. Mass action is a conspicuous aspect of comradeship. Assignments and exam rooms are the best avenues to practice the 'we are one ' and 'degree ni harambee' maxims.

Piousness on the days of worship and a few days to examinations is common. This is relevant to cleanse the messes done on Friday night and intervention for the days wasted in picnics, parties, clubs and watching movies. This is also handy in appeasing so as no lecturer spots the 'running mates alias Mwakenya ' in the examination centers.

Among the ladies it is prerequisite to have a series of boyfriends to attend specific needs. For instance; academic boyfriends to handle assignments and book seats in the lecture halls, social boyfriends to cater for dates and show off in public and night boyfriends for you know what!
Electioneering season has comrades divided into their varied areas of speciality. From aspirants propagandists, strategists, onlookers to goons. Voting is not entirely based ethnicity! It is purely based on rhetoric, character and money is a reckless tool in influencing the electorate!

Comradeship has its unique nature and this is just an eagle's view on a few outstanding traits. It takes courage to stand out against all the mentioned.
