A number of people who are studying accounting are either there by choice, or because their parents are accountants so you can’t be a prodigal child. Every accounting student has been in one or all of these situations.
When you get admission into the university and you made it into the accounting department
And your first two months are as easy as ABC so you think life is a bed of roses
First semester exams show up and you get all A’s and you believe you will be the next Accountant General of Nigeria
Your second year starts and things start having k-leg
Your balance sheets start refusing to balance
And the number of accounts you have to prepare are now six per question
Income statements, adjusted trial balance, journal entries, balance sheet, profit and loss, cash flow accounts…
As if that is not enough cost and Financial Accounting and Case Analysis start bringing up their head on your course list
And then Taxation becomes advanced and Auditing and Assurance starts looking like hell
Taxation Y U become advanced? People, Y U have to do fraud and give us errors to find?
And then you start seeing letters and greek symbols in your textbooks in Financial Management
What is a beta? What is ‘r’ doing here? What is this funny looking ‘E’ what is all this Lord?
To make matters worse you are told you need to start getting ready to start ICAN lessons
God what is all this? Who invented accounting?
Every weekend from 9AM to 9PM
Is this ICAN lesson or prison in disguise?
So you have no social life, no sleeping pattern, wonder if life’s worth living and are about to give up
Somebody can’t even go to Quilox or go and buy Suya and relax.
So you start to reconsider all your life choices and if it is too late to change your course
Is all this worth it? Mass Communication wouldn’t have stressed me like this…
But you remember your parents, uncles, and even your pastor is an accountant and you can’t be the black sheep
Before they say I want to bring shame to the family.
So you just have to carry your cross and die with it
I’m not the first, I wouldn’t be the last.
ICAN exams come and you are tired of life and reading and just want the world to end
Can Jesus like come back today or the apocalypse happen?
Then the results come out and you passed everything
FINALLY!! ITS ALL OVER!!
Now you can add “ACA” to your name and start carrying shoulders
