Recap of 2022

avatar
(Edited)

This post is long overdue, but better late than never.
2022 has been a lot for me. I’ve learnt all kinds of lessons and worse part, I didn’t achieve any of the things I set out to.
Each month has come with something different and I’m writing about each ( At least, those I have pictures of because I seem to have forgotten some things). I did promise my self to take more pictures in 2020 but I don’t think I was able to achieve that too.


January

We had just started our first semester of our third year in the university. The University Teacher’s Association of Ghana (UTAG) had gone on strike but we still went to school cause we just didn’t want to be home anymore. I think I spent the whole of January eating and sleeping. Oh I remember, my long term relationship had just ended a few days before school resumed. The recovery process was not a good one😂😂 but thankfully, I didn’t have studies to combine with it.


February

Due to some reasons, my school was not able to have a Student Representative Council(SRC) Election the previous semester and so it was scheduled for this new semester.
I had some of my closest friends contesting in it so I was more or less involved in the whole process. There was a portfolio that two of my friends contested for. This was hard for me because each of them expected me to campaign for them. I did campaign for both at different times😂. It depends on the person I’m walking with. I can’t really remember if I voted for that portfolio or not because I just couldn’t decide.

We took this picture one evening when we were going out to campaign.

This is literally the first friend I made by myself when I got to the university and it’s been amazing since then.


March

I really can’t remember but I think the strike had been called off by then and lectures had started.

16FDE85D-74CF-4CBB-836D-650B8AA3502B.jpeg

I took this picture with my friend at a clean up exercise we were forced to attend. She was an exec you the SRC and I, of my department so we had to make an appearance. Else, it would be impossible to get us out of our beds at 6 AM for a clean up exercise.

We had a little birthday for our friend that was soon leaving to start her new life in a different country.

Took this on my birthday. I have other pictures from that day but this is my favorite.

0B27F7AA-B86A-4BFB-B635-767B1F0A7C81.jpeg

This was a regular day after lectures. These guys can be so annoying at times😂 but I go everywhere with them.

April

Together with the other executives of my department, we organized an excursion to tourist sites around us.
We visited the border between Ghana and Burkina Faso, we went to a crocodile pond and to a dam which helps in irrigation.

After class one day, a friend called and asked me to meet him at another lecture hall. I got there and he asked to use my phone to take videos of an event on going. So I had to wait till the event was over so I just joined them. It was the swearing in ceremony on the election we had in February.

D552C7AE-9260-4F0B-AF6B-5C9317D06EDD.jpeg

These two friends one mine had just been sworn in as new SRC executives. Everyone else was just taking pictures with the new executives. Then I saw this guy who I was acquainted with and we decided to take a picture.

659082FE-2120-4D29-AB05-ECBD41EE3A9A.jpeg

He usually came to his friends that I was in the same hostel with and I would sometimes just see him around. So we took the picture and went out separate ways.

Then came Eid-ul-Fitr. So I went back home to celebrate with my family.

May

Exams was almost here so that was what the concentration was on. The exams started at the ending of the month

0649D4C4-CFBD-4F3D-94AB-B1CCB6F5C32E.jpeg

I took this picture on the day of my most difficult paper: Ordinary Differential Equations I. Not that it’s difficult, I just never paid attention during the beginning of the course and it was hard to learn everything at the last minute. I dressed so well to write this paper and I couldn’t even make sense of what was on the question paper😂.


June

The exams extended to June. Minutes before I left the hostel to write my last paper for the semester, my brother called to tell me his wife just had a baby. I was so excited since I would be home in time for the outdooring.

When I got home, I spent my days going to the market to sell at my mom’s store cause she was at home welcoming the guests that were coming to see the baby.

30F1A1E2-F451-4480-983A-E58579B94F8A.jpeg

This picture in particular, I don’t know why I like it. I was always sending foodstuffs home everyday after closing from the market in preparation for the outdooring.

Then the day finally came. I just took pictures and went back to sleep. When I woke up later, all the food was finished 😏.

Then one day at the market, I just wasn’t feeling right so I called my brother to go to the hostel with me. I knew it was relating to my stomach. We got there, they run a test and said I had malaria in addition to what ever was wrong with me and it needed immediate attention. It was funny. The doctor was like I have over 5000 malaria parasites. How is that even possible 😂? So I got a drip and had to come had to come to the hospital a few times for more.

4107E0DD-9E1A-4654-A128-447A2F20ECE5.jpeg

Then I got to spend time with my friends. These friends that we don’t talk everyday because of my bad communication habits but every time we meet, it’s like we never left each other.


July

Eid came again but I had to leave for school the next day.

The rest of the month was probably just school stuff.


August and September

These were the most stressful months.
I was part of a vetting panel which I wrote about some time ago.
A315C398-4F2A-4F8F-9FAE-6C8DFC44812A.jpeg
Then I had my own political intentions. Photo shoots, flyers, filing a form, campaigning combined with lectures and bad mental health.
I got his picture with my best friend who was just an acquaintance a few months ago😂.


October

I went on a senate meeting with my colleague executives. Then made it to Accra for the rest of the vacation

This was from a night we went out to the mall to get some food.


November

This month was a good one. My cousin's birth day came up.

DD644617-FCBA-43D8-B320-F1106ADBC72B.jpeg
Then we went on a weekend trip to a beach resort

Then we went to see Black Panther 2 when it was showing in cinemas.

In the last week of the month, I started my internship.

December

I went out with my aunt to have a facial at a dermatologist.

Then we went to the beach

Went to the beach again 😂

Went out to watch Avatar 2 at the cinema

And on the last day of the month, we went out to a concert to count down into 2023.

Obviously there are so many things I didn’t write about. The challenges, the bad days, wet pillow nights. But I learnt so much this year that I look forward to so much in 2023. The biggest lesson I learnt is that no one is going to be there for me like myself.

This looks more like a year of joy.

You achieved a lot even though you think you didn’t achieve the goals you set for yourself.

I hope the new year brings you more than you ever imagined!😇

I guess I’m just focusing on a few things that went wrong and for the more things that went right

It sounds and looks to me like you had a pretty good year! I would say you should think of it another way perhaps. Instead of saying you had a horrible year because nothing went right for what you planned, you should say you had an incredible year because you met and overcame lots of challenges that were unexpected! I know a positive spin on something isn’t always appropriate but it’s good to feel those good vibrations and think in a different way about a situation like this.

Happy new year!

Wow!! 2022 was a full package for you🤩 it’s always amazing visiting your blog. You write so simply yet very detailed. It doesn’t take an effort to read 500 words from you.

I must also say your skills in photography is fantastic. You take dope pictures and everything just make sense.

I want to make a request regarding one of your outfits. The picture you took at the crocodile Pond is very dope. The shoes you wore in that particular picture is very beautiful. More like my type. They look very good on you but I think they’ll look better on me.

The request? Yes. You see that particular pair of shoes of yours, anytime you feel like you don’t need them anymore, kindly forward them to me. I collect and keep (and use/wear) old and outworn stuffs (mostly shoes and clothes and at times monies) from my friends and even people who are not friends with me.

It was great visiting your tl once again 👍🏿

I’m glad you think this way. I’m always complaining about being writing in complex ways and risking the possibility of people reading not getting the message. So I always try writing anything at all in the simplest ways so that everyone can understand.

These pictures just happen by chance 😂😂. On most days, everything is terrible

I read this and was wondering what shoes it could possibly be. You’re right, they will look better on you as I seem to not like them anymore

Well that is very thoughtful of you. I hope you keep it up 👍🏿

I read this and was wondering what shoes it could possibly be. You’re right, they will look better on you as I seem to not like them anymore

So how about you forward em to me? The converse all star are my favorite pair of shoes and obviously my most worn pair of shoes. By the way what size do you wear? I hope they’re 7
