Experiencing such a thing. All those stories I used to hear from my neighbouring friends who went to college before me was finally coming true. Living all by yourself, cooking, and making your own decisions as an adult. I was only 18 when I first entered the same college. The first day was very exhausting reason being everyone had qued up to pay their tuition fee and everything,but I managed to pull through all the payments in the college after two days.It was time to find a hostel and I finally did with some people I came with from the same city and we never used to talk back home ,but I became close with these three guys,because were doing the same course and we happen to be in the same class.It was so amazing for me that I pulled through and among the three friends I was the first one to have a girlfriend in college. I was so excited as I received my first kiss from her I felt as if I was dreaming and everything was going on so we'll for me.after a month suddenly I received a phone call from my young brother telling me that dad had passed away.I dropped my phone and bursted into tears and sorrow! suddenly the hostel was filled up with my fellow student friends who came to my aid to mourn with me.i didnt sleep that day I had known in my heart that the bread winner in my family had gone and tertiary education would be difficult for me.so the next day I went back home to the funeral house and it was true! The family house was filled up with friends, neighbors,relatives and church mates. After my mom saw me she wept loudly and said son your dad is gone!who will pay for your tuition in college? I didn't say anything I just huged her.After a day I was hoping my three close student friends would come at the funeral but no one showed up. We burried my father and it was finally time to go back to college.I reached the hostels and all my student friends just said welcome back and and I answered them by saying thanks. After a month I finally pulled my self together and the boys were like it's a weekend we should go out. So we went out and to my surprise they all got some partners in the club and they paid the girls for intimacy and I remained in the same club waiting for them.I never knew anything because I had never sexual intimacy with a woman.so they came back and they all started laughing at me why couldn't you get a girl are you a virgin. I defended my self by saying I wasn't just in the mood. So we left for the hostels. After some weeks I got an argument with my girlfriend because she had used all the money I had told her to keep for me. So I left her on the scene then one of my student friends was aware of what had happened and he advised me that we should just go out have a drink or two. So we reached the club and I drunk too. my fellow student friend came with two prostitutes of which he said to me this time around I won't take no as answer so he gave one girl to me and said let's leave the club that's how we left and wait to a lodge. I denied the girl and said I didn't want to get any STI or HIV and AIDS. My friend was like if you want you can't do it! Peer pressure groomed into my mind as I saw my friend doing it I also gave in by sleeping with the same woman I saw for the first time! After this I lost my dignity my body changed I lost weight and all my friends isolated themselves from me.
