1. Typing in Google to find the best schools that have your program.

Y U NO have my program?

2. And then you see the tuition rates.

Are we learning how to make gold from pure water.

3. And you begin to reconsider If Masters is really worth it.

About to be in a different time zone bruv…

5. When one agent is trying to help you get “quick admission” with N200k service charge.

Boy if you don’t get…

6. When you see the list of exams you have to write to get considered.

Only me GRE, GMAT, TOEFL… Nobody said it will be like this.

What is a personal statement for Gods sake? Why you doing this to me?

8. When you have to stay on the phone on hold for thirty minutes with the admission office.

14. Trying to get everything you need for your trip.

15. And on the last “hangout” with your friends.

But this time as an IJGB with my new accent.
