Being a first year student in a different province far away from home, had to adjust quickly so I can keep moving. Getting to learn a new tongue and had to communicate with other people with my bad English. 

My first day I was so lost and I had to ask strangers for directions to my first class but still I get lost, I finally found the building and when I entered the lecture was already wrapping up the lesson and that is how I lost my first  experience being in the lecture room and listening to the lecture educating me. I felt so embarrassed, the way students were looking at me you would swear that I  deeply wanted to disappear from that moment already.

Without hesitation I went back to my room and just reflected on how embarrassing my first day at campus, playing thoughts on my mind that I wish I could just explain myself to them that I was just lost and time was not on my side.

A whole week passes by without making any friends because I don't socialize with people and I don't like socializing with them. On the other side assignments were coming as many as they could, online tests, quizes and that time I was not familiar with eFundi and I could not use properly as I did not attend the Orientation. I felt the pressure and I did not know how to use a computer as I was just a person from a rural area with no resources at my previous high school. At the base a girl saw me struggling to open the computer and he offered to assist m. His name was Thapelo a young Sotho man, God sent person came and helped to switch on the computer and he did not end there. He also thought me how to use efundi.

We chat a little bit getting to know each other and I managed to learn few sentences in Sesotho. As we were speaking I found out that he is in hi final year doing the same course as mine and I thought in my mind that I could learn a lot from hi since he has more experience than me. Being comfortable around him I eventually told him that I am so stressed about the assignments and tests that are all due in less than a week.

He told me I must not worry much because he has also experienced this much pressure so he totally understands. Out of his kindness he offered to help me with assignments and I told him I will manage but he did not take no for and answer. Though I was also thinking of him on the other side that I don't want him to neglect his work and be left behind because he was assisting me. We became close friends and study buddie at the same time as I learnt a lot from him and getting to know university as whole.

I got to learn new cultures and how other people live in other province and I adjusted well because i made a good friend that helped with pure intentions.
