Assembly Hall and Chancellor Hall *laughs* even
though they say we are a bit ‘cocky,’ thats confidence, but moving on block Dynamite and meeting
alot of new persons, my fellow bock brothers. It has
been a wonderful experience; college, it is one of the
best experiences you will have, so every child should
go to college.
Did you have any bad experiences that are memorable?
Yes!! Currently my GPA is at 3 because i made one
of the greatest mistakes in my UWI life in first year,
where i opted to do a minor in International Relations, doing 3 second year courses in first years
and then i failed one, the grades were good in the
other two, but that has led to somewhat of a fall
in my GPA. I’m getting A’s in CARIMAC and i go
over there wanted to match something good with my
degree, and i did an experiment and failed, so my
advice is to know what you are getting yourself into.
Give us your personal advice on how to survive
college?
The first one is ‘mek sure you have a tin a mackerel’
because sometimes when your hungry and you cant

so you need to socialize and get to know persons
around you because at the end of the day it will come
in handy and also volunteer, you cant lose, you are
at college for three years and if you can volunteer
you can get much needed experience at the end of
the day. Also build links and build your network, so
that at the end of the three years you don’t need to be
searching for a job, you want employers to be approaching you. Also participate in sports and activities on campus
How do you have fun on campus?
Despite popular belief i enjoy being alone, sometimes i would just be in my room reading or watching something. While other times as guild councillors we are out there at events, because like every
weekend there is an event, so we would be at these
events supporting our fellow councillor’s initiatives
and liming and typical stuff as in play ball, those are
some of the things that i do, and other random stuff.
What are some influences students will meet upon
in college and how do you suggest they manage
these influences?
Well you have a lot of influences you have the alcohol influence, the drugs influence and you also
have the sexual influence. How to deal with this is to
understand yourself and know what you are getti
