  Note: This conversation has been edited and condensed for clarity. For this episode of TCS, I happen to be with an august visitor. We were roommates when I was in 200 level, and she graduated, went to law school and now, she is a barrister. I have an esquire in my apartment y’all.  She hit me up sometime in August and was like, “Hey, do you still stay in Enugu? I need to come around to your place”. I was excited, and it was a pleasure having her around. And I decided to have her on TCS because, why not? Seyi, it has do, let’s move on. So for this week TCS, we are going to be talking about life beyond university and graduation, what exactly is the dream outside the university and what are the things that she is yet to achieve and so on. So I am going to allow my guest to introduce herself. Hello guys, my name is O. O Ijor (Esquire). Don’t mind me, Damilola for short.

But sometimes, a bug can closely resemble the features of a particular application that unless you are told that's a problem, you will not believe it. Like you mean the application is not meant to automatically log me in once I open it but is suppose...

What is grief, if not love persevering?  Vision, WandaVision I am yet to see any episode of WandaVision, but I fell in love with that line when I heard it. I am very familiar with that emotion, and most times, grief is associated with losing people or things. We grieve the death of loved ones, we grieve the people who left us (or the ones we left) and we grieve the ones that are never coming back. But what about the person we were or we thought we were going to be and that is going to be my focus today.    Source: Pinterest Growth is a very gritty thing, it is the by-product of being uncomfortable with our former selves. It is shedding and moving away from our past selves into a different and hopefully better version. Now that I think of it, we grow into a better version of ourselves but again, we can choose not to, except for biological growth which needs no permission from us, but we can be stunted if we can't provide the requisite for growth. Growth, as I am learning, ...
