CAMPUS AND MONEY

They say money is the root of all evil. In clear contrast, money in society has to be considered the root all joy, pleasure, pride and a little bit of arrogance. When I was younger, I used to think my father was richer than any fellow I meet walking around. Comically, I used to pity my friends because they did not have such a ‘rich’ father. At such a young tender age, money had already been imprinted in my mind as a god or goddess and gave me the right to judge others. Anyway, I came to grow up and realize my poops was not as rich as I thought.

Fast forward a few years, money has been ever more valuable than ever. In campus, I realized, money and women are of top priority. However, I have to notice, that women come a close second. With all their influence they cannot beat the ever-growing power of money. So, It begs the question, how do I make money ? I don’t know if it’s just me but asking for pocket money all the times is honestly tiring. There comes a time I feel more of a parasite than a child. Therefore, it is high time we students started making a small living on the side and I don’t mean the ever tempting HELB loan that you will pay for years.

I asked a few friends how they make money in campus and had a hell lot of interesting responses from waitress to defrauding parents. However, a few number get money in interesting means like selling off clothes at a profit to fellow students. Instead of complaining of lack of opportunities, I think we ought to sit down and come with innovative ideas to supplement our meager pocket money and HELB. I have a few pals, who have dared to think out of the box, Marion Waithera does some modelling and business in her home town, Venecia Chebet sells newspapers despite the morning hours, Jacky and Cindy both work at stalls and make something small. It is interesting to note that despite them being girls, they are learning to be independent as ever.

In case there are others like me with little or no connections to employment opportunities, we can gladly use our talent. For Gush Daisy and I we drink what we write, literally. Writing for websites such as essaysharks.com and many more, you can easily make good money at the comfort of your home. If however, you cannot write well, find your niche, I have a wonderful friend who draws amazing portraits and art, that is also another way to exploit the amazing blessings bequeathed onto us. Congratulations to Gee, I will surely buy more paintings.

All in all, let's find our niche and exploit it. Taking advantage of every opportunity is not greed but wisdom. Let's pursue the root of all evil and be more independent.
