I’ve completed my stint as the editor in chief of this campus newspaper. I know, i know, this page should have been more vibrant during my reign there, but hear hear, there is no excuse for the prolonged silence. I have a well of stories to share, but i think with the current situation (of looking for a place to exercise the power of the pen – which i hope will come by soon) i shall let them trickle in to the web, little by little.
Some are hilarious, others are downright depressing, while others are dare devil tales of your usual campus journalist.
None death defying, tsk.
Altogether, i feel under pressure to pursue and follow the paths of my predecessors. Meeting lecturers who know of my stint, the hints are not as subtle as such and i am wondering if there is anything wrong with me. Do they think i lack ambition? Is there a defined path for one to follow? Do i have to work for Nation to be considered as one who is making it?
The clock is ticking for them. They are waiting for instant fame and recognition of my so-called talent, but I don’t see myself following that path (But if that call comes through on Friday).
I see myself establishing myself elsewhere. In a new media frontier. Breathing into life some newspaper project, dad and i have been sketching on for sometime.
I just want to do something different. Pursue it to the fullest of levels. Make a name, in another way.
