1. When you see your ugly hostel wear for the first time.

2. When it’s time for general soaks with the squad.

3. When they steal all your clothes.

4. When you’re leaving home for school.

5. When they call for second round in the dining hall.

6. When you see that evil senior.

7. When you reach Senior School and become that evil senior.

8. When it’s time for socials.

9. When everyone finds out it’s your birthday.

10. When you have to rub and shine.

11. When it’s time for Sunday jollof rice.

13. When it’s visiting day.

14. When you see someone about to make Chocobombom.
