Hello everyone, it’s my pleasure to share yesterday’s experiences with you on what I title ‘’being irresponsible’’.
What do I mean by being irresponsible? Being irresponsible entails developing the habit of always ignoring your role as an elderly person, acting childishly, and always not being available whenever you’re needed.
What happened yesterday taught me a lesson
. I left the house very early in the morning for school to change my bank teller to a receipt, when I arrived at the office that I was meant to change the bank teller the man wasn’t around so I had to wait for him till he returned.
I waited over two hours for him, but he didn’t return. So I was wondering what kept him so long, but while I was still wondering a man came to me and said I should wait for him he went to a nearby eatery to take his lunch I agreed to stay.
I waited for over an hour again and he finally returned. He entered his office with a young lady without asking me what I came to do. He and the lady were having a serious conversation, and someone came to me and said go inside and interrupt their conversation and I said no.
The person said to me are you going to remain here forever and I said no, I thought they would end their conversation very soon, but I realized they might finish it very late, so I decided to move to my faculty to sign some of my course forms and also do my faculty registration.
When I arrived there, I didn’t know the exact place my faculty was since my department and faculty relocated to their permanent site. So when I got there, I saw two ladies and one guy and they were trying to arrange their course forms into a flat file. I decided to excuse one of the ladies since I didn’t understand what they were doing.
She waited behind me just to hear what I was saying. I greeted her and she responded politely and I was so excited. I told her I came to sign my course forms, I told her I didn’t know where to sign my course forms since my faculty and my department have someone in the faculty who is meant to sign their course forms. I told her I was in the Department of Linguistics and Nigerian Languages and she said I was at the right place.
I asked her what the procedures are and she told me that I need to present a fully signed school fees receipt, fasa receipt(faculty of Art Student Association receipt), and lastly, a journal of humanities receipt she also asked me to do a photocopy of them as well and I thank her.

I looked for a nice place to sit so I could check my files if I carried those documents with me. When I checked I realized I carried them, but when I tried to check if I signed them, I realized I signed only two of those documents, and one was left I wept bitterly.
I blamed myself for being so irresponsible about my personal affairs, had it been I signed those documents earlier I would have done the registration. I was sad but people didn’t know why, I had to pay my way back home without achieving anything, I wasted my money and my time.
When I returned home I met my brother and he asked me if I’d succeeded in what I went there to do, and I wasn’t able to answer, and he asked me the second time, and I told him everything that happened. He said to me, you’re not eating tonight so that you would realize how costly the mistake you’ve made is, I pleaded with him and he disagreed with me, so I slept without eating.
In conclusion, I learned a lesson I won’t forget so easily. I don’t want you to also make such mistakes in life as a student. To those who are not students, please always make proper use of the least opportunity you have, don’t wait for someone to come and tell you before you know what to do, and always try and do things by yourself so that you won’t regret them later.
Thank you for reading through my post.
