Hola!!!!

Been a minute yeah?! What's good? What's Poppin? There's so much to catch up on.

Well, these past months have been…. Overwhelming. I want to say it has been rosy but I'm gonna say it like it is. The most important thing is I'm alive to write this and you are alive to read this. What more could I ask for? 


My country certainly has a way to rearrange your plans. I mean, I was supposed to be done with my undergraduate degree before I clocked 20 but E B things. ASUU got in the way, the pandemic backed it up and after 7 whole months just when it seemed the whole pandemic phase was over and we began to attend parties and discard face masks, the nationwide #Endsars protest -which I am very proud to have been part of- began. And it was and still is a mentally and physically draining part of Nigerian history because we are asking for one thing, just one thing;


STOP KILLING US. And they still kill us for asking not to be killed. Wow! Just wow!


I don't want to dive into details or this post would go on forever if I did. Amid the protest, the government tried to hassle ASUU to make them suspend the strike. I honestly feel say na ment sha🤡 But guess what?! Even if they called off the strike, my school would still be flooded. How lucky am I?!


Now, there might probably be the second wave of #Endsars protest because our government thinks we are a joke and have coconut water in our heads. Talking about the second wave, there might likely be a second wave of Covid-19  (if it isn't here already), so stay safe guys. This is a lot to handle, and I just want to live amidst all these happenings and I'm sure you do too. 


Just in 2020, I've lost, I've loved and still love, I've cried, been depressed, laughed hard, mehn it feels like this year was just spiced with mood swings. But, even with this, I am grateful, I won't say fulfilled but I'm grateful🌼


I abandoned this space for months (5 months precisely) even with all the plans I had for Yard Girl, well do I regret the time wasted? yes. Can I get it back? No. What can I do? I muuuveee! Things got out of hand, my priorities were misplaced, I didn't put myself first but It's a process and I'm not going to subject myself to unnecessary mental pressure. I just want to do things at my own pace, with no pressure, no external influence. Just genuine happiness, growth, and improvement. Just Yard Girl and Vibes 🥂


In other news, do you know how I can apply for postgraduate studies in Canada without getting my undergraduate degree first?! I'll be in the comment section awaiting an answer 👀 because I'd love to experience blogging from abroad.


Well, now that you are all caught up on what's been going on with me, how about you? What have you been up to? Talk to your girl, you know you want to🤗



I hope you have a very beautiful week ahead, don't stress it just go with the flow. I love you💕


Yard Girl is back yo!



I had Chike's Boo Of The Booless on repeat writing this.

    Indeed Nigeria has a way of rearranging somebody's plans. Be that as it may we'll scale through.

    I trust you're good yardgirl

    This piece gives me peace.
    During the past few months a lot has happened. It being more of depressing than exiting. But recently i met someone, someone who gives me peace, comfort, excitement,i recently found out how it feels to have butterflies.
    I'm happy I'm moving on and feeling better. I had to get out of toxic before i choked, thanks to my little team(Memuade) for being there to support.
    Thanks Yard girl ��
    And PS Don't ask me who i met��

Ooin! You Are Doing Well.

I wrote this especially for you. Yes, you! These are hard times, the economy is slowly turning upside down, there is a virus out there, your lifestyle has been in a way restricted, so much happening in, so little time. But, here you are alive, breathing, reading this and happy I believe. Ooin! You are doing well. The past few months has tested my will to live, when the lockdown started I would sit and complain about being bored, sometimes I would pray for it to end and sometimes bouts of depression threatened to take a hold of me. This is me appreciating myself and everyone in a somewhat similar situation for calming the raging storm in your soul, for being alive and keeping your head above the water. Dear You, there is a lot to celebrate about you, you have and are making progress, I applaud you for starting that project, I applaud you for finishing that project, for sending in your résumé, for taking on that job, for volunteering, for starting up your business, for being ...

The Adulting Dilemma; The Redundant Growth Phase.

  They did tell us many lies about this adulting thing. Many lies I say! One of the many things they "forgot" to mention is the Redundant Growth Phase. I don't know if you have experienced this but I have and still do. This phase is as weird as it sounds. It doesn't even feel like it's just a phase that will pass, this goes on from your teenage years to your adult years till when it feels like going away. Will this stage ever outgrow us?? I honestly have no idea. I'll try to explain this annoying phase. Imagine this: You, a fine young person, you know you have achieved a lot, you look at yourself in the mirror, a million and one dozen times and try to say how much proud you are of yourself but you just can't. Scratch the mirror. There's this constant feeling that the world has moved on and left you behind. Nobody wrote an official letter telling you the world is about to move. Nobody told you where it's moving to, but the world is moving and you ar...

The Post-Pandemic Effect And...

  H eyyyyo !! Yard Girl here! It's a new month! Happy May!  So, I was going to do the new month new me thing but Nah! Scratch that. Same old. Same old but a whole lot of things are going to change with this new month. This girl is going to be a graduate! Big news, no? Massive news, yes? I'm excited, you know.  First off, there's something I just recently discovered, it's called The Post-Pandemic Effect, you know me and my theories. Lol. I'll explain.  The Post-Pandemic Effect is mostly common among students, it occurs when you've been temporarily uprooted from a certain routine for an unusual period and you're suddenly forced back into that system. Then it dawns on you, how do you adjust? Studying? Social life? Friends? Finances? Are you still going to fit in?  I had to leave my job when school resumed. I admit I got used to the money. The money was good. I loved that place. I still can't get over that money and my daily routine. Lol. Surviving on a mont...
