A letter to my younger self

Dear Bukho
I hope you are well. I thought varsity life was easy like you were always telling me. Life here at varsity is tolerable but it is hard. Here you face different groups of people, different races and cultures. I wish you had advised me about the environment adaptation of the University life so that I would have been prepared to deal with it.
To adapt in this environment is not an easy thing to do. You meet people from different backgrounds, and you become part of them because you all stay in one community. I wish I should have known that before I came here. Being far away from home made me think I am alone. You only go home after a term which that is hurtful especially when you are used to be around your family. I keep myself strong when I always think about my family, because I think of them daily no matter what company I get from the friends I have here. Making new friends is also not an easiest thing to do. At varsity you have to make new friends in order to enjoy the social life. I find it so hard to make new friends here but Bukho you said it was going to be an easiest thing to do. Lastly man you did not tell me that many people here like to change their characters. I see people who I’ve schooled with at high school changing themselves into something I cannot even define. I am still the true character of myself, I still respect the dignity of my culture, I still respect woman, I am still in touch with good people and I still have a friendship with my long time friends.
Bukho I wish brother you should have advised me about the things I’ve mentioned above because they are much vital than those you were always telling me.
Yours Sincerely: Vakele Genu.
