DIARY OF A COLLEGE GIRL
FINAL EPISODE
The next few days came by in a daze. I didn’t want to walk with anyone or talk to anyone.
My roommates left me alone after trying unsuccessfully to cheer me up, Tina eventually got angry at me for the distance and George, he stayed longer than anyone but eventually got tired and left.
I was in my own world of depression. A part of me was hoping Sam would call me to apologize, but it didn’t happen.
On one Saturday night, I decided to take a walk. I wore a long skirt and a black sleeveless blouse so no one’s attention focuses on me. I walked in all the places Sam used to take me and though I could feel the wetness on my cheeks, I ignored it. My pain was almost physical. I walked to the footbridge on campus and looked at the river. I thought of throwing myself in there to end it all. Then I remembered my mum’s laughter, my dad’s smile, I remembered my family and everyone who might be hurt if I did this. I couldn’t let them down. So I turned around and walked back towards my hall.
As I walked back, on reaching the Parade Grounds, I sat down under one of the summer huts and buried my face in my laps so no one would see me crying.
With tears streaming down my face uncontrolled, I did something I hadn’t done in a while.
I prayed and asked God for help to steady my heart.
I don’t know how long I was there, or who saw me. When I finally got up, I felt much better.
The following Sunday morning met me already dressed up for church. I went over and I could feel a sense of belonging. The love and care everywhere were beautiful.
This was really love, I said to myself.
I finally could live again. I joined the ushering department and began to work diligently at church.
Basically, I did a U-turn and picked up my Christian upbringing. I stopped dressing indecently and stopped flaunting my money around. I decided to live a low-key life.
When memories of Samuel crept up, I drowned myself with studying.
I was constantly studying or in church.
Some of my old friends stayed. Others like Tina couldn’t understand me and stopped being my friend. Well, God did send another friend my way. Lara- the girl I had lied to on my first night.
She turned out to be the nicest person I’ve ever met and we became inseparable.
At the end of the semester, the results came out and I had a First Class.
My whole family came to pick me up again and my dad did a dance in the street when he heard about my grades.
It was quite embarrassing though…
All the same, things were beginning to look up, and as we drove off to Accra, I wondered what adventures the second semester held for me.
