My experiences learnt so far is that University its not a child's play but to work hard in everything needed, around campus there are different cultures, races and genders, I tend to meet with new people everyday and even struggle to make friends due to the languages they prefer are too much to digest like this one friend of mine he is initially a Coloured person so we would have to use English to communicate.

Every university student encounter such and the other is that we as the students seem to be vulnerable to every person as well as seem to be easily mugged, most of us now are afraid to go out because of our safety In everywhere we go because most of the people are not working so they tend to engage on crime activities and hurting other people without even feeling pain for that person. Other people discriminate other people against their gender or race which will lead to inequality and in a stereotypical formation.

My Ethnicity

Where I am from, I am mostly familiar with black people and never had contact with white people like in University .I am generally from the Setswana group and my parents aren't from the same place as well as the language is  different because my mother is from a Tswana group and my dad speaks and comes from Basotho culture .I grew up in a township where you should respect any elder you come across with and greet them as well  so it's typically a mixed culture .

We are all Christians and but with different churches as there are a lot of them, we then have preferred a church without sound effects just a church with people singing using their energy to also clap hands .We believe in tradition most as it is our way to please and talk to our great-grandmothers and most of the things are different compared to other cultures.  

A day of my life

I wake up at 6:00 AM everyday even if i don't have classses and the first thing i do is to open up the windows and get my body freshened up, and after i make a plan for my day and start preparing for the classes i have , while enjoying the sounds of birds outside in the morning. When ever i finish bathing i prepare for every class i would be having throughout the day , when i am done i attend every class i have for that particular day . Meeting new people on campus is what i experiance everyday as well as the lectures i would be tought from school and sometimes i would be having the feeling of being a student more hard at some point as the family is looking up on you .After classes i come back to where i stay and unpack every lesson of the day and make notes , then i clean up my room because i am staying alone .Cleaning releases the tension and stress that i had throghout of the day as well as my books and whenever i am done with cleaning the room i take a shower for having an open mind for when i study and i always make a plan of having something to eat before i commence to study what i've learn't after that i study till midnight from there i go to sleep after studying everything i needed to complete before i learn something new again .
