Dear How Are You?
You will be amazed how many times I get asked the “How are you?” question on a daily basis, and frankly, I am tired of answering.
I mean, let us be honest with ourselves. You are not going to tell the individual who asked you the question the whole rundown of how you stayed up till 7 a.m. to turn in a paper that is due at 11 or how your roommate is constantly nagging about the lights being on when you are trying to be productive; I am glad I brought a lamp to school. It is not realistic because people just don’t have the time to talk and listen to every detail of how your day went. Okay, let us change gears for a second and let me say in my experience because maybe regularly you have someone to share all those forgotten details with. So, in my experience, people just want to text and answer such an unending question. I say it’s unending because there are always follow-up questions; I mean, that is, if the person is clinging to your words and their attention is undivided. And I am telling you right now, I am not answering such a question through text. I am a student. I also work, volunteer, usher, vlog, and now I am blogging. How do I answer how I am?The student aspect of my life can take about five to six paragraphs, depending on the day and class. All professors cannot be placed in the same category. Ahhh, with their wahala, I no fit to quantify it, Jare! I just do what I have to do. Do not let anyone deceive you. College is hard, and the workload becomes unbearable at one point, but it has to get done. How do you comprehend that concept through text? My responsibilities range from managing to filing to collaborating with my fellow colleagues to maintain the satisfaction of our members. I am so grateful for the opportunity, and with everything in life, precision is required.
Yours sincerely,
Modish__ye
