The Language of Love


            I am not a love expert by any means; in fact the closest I come to knowing matters of love has to be when I sit down to write an essay on the same in case it comes up while I am at work in the essay writing company that I work for on part time. Writing essays and studying in campus at the same time is the most delicate of balances I have ever had to negotiate with my life but I am glad I have learnt to master it and let it not affect me at all. It is difficult, especially when it is exam time in campus, but I have somehow learnt ways of how to get around it.
            As earlier recapped, I am not a love expert as such, but I know one or two things about love and what it entails. One of the things I like talking about are the various ways of expressing love to a person, commonly called the languages of love. It is true that not everybody likes saying ‘I love you’ to a boyfriend or girlfriend, no matter how badly they feel like saying it. I am lucky to be among those who find it very comfortable to say the three words, but I am not dumb to imagine everybody else is like me.
            Other than words, the other languages of love are touch, quality time, gifts and service. Of all the five, campus students use touch the most. You know as well as I do that touch is the most fulfilling of all-if sex and kisses therein are everything to go by-but I would like to aver that all the four languages of love are equally exciting. In any case, we can’t all be the same. There are people who enjoy spending quality time with you as an expression of love, while yet others like giving gifts to their loved ones. The key to true love is to know the language your lover cherishes the most and giving it to him or her.

Substance Abuse and Pregnancy


            Drugs are undoubtedly a major hindrance to prosperity. They include cocaine, hashish, marijuana etc. They deter the normal thinking of a student and lead’s to memory lapses and disinterest in education. Building castles becomes the main thing. This is mostly as a result of peer groups have lost focus and are full of negativity in each other’s life. It is obvious to maintain this kind of lifestyle, a lot of money is required, which leads to the need to participate in criminal activities like robberies prostitution, murder for money, bank robberies, gang raping, hijackings and all sorts of evils things all in the effort to fit in this circle.
            Another majority of the group engage in casual sex with students or lecturers for money that lead to unwanted pregnancies, high rate of STI and STD transmissions and the worst of all transmission of HIV/AIDS a major challenge in the society. These infections are highly spread by sharing of things like needles.
            Due to the above named issues experienced by students, education slowly fades from the list of priorities and this way great brains are wasted, doctors and engineers to be waste their lives, and all the dreams fade away, worst still lives are lost before someone corrects them and directs them to the right path. Early motherhood and great irresponsibility’s by young girl’s leads to a lot of school dropouts. Those that manage their way can barely put down a sensible essay for their lecture assignments. Many will seek the help of professional essay writers to do their ‘dirty’ work for them in exchange of a pay.
            If only students were to hold to their main objective and keep the fire burning, such like cases would be highly reduced, lives would be saved. It is important to sensitize and create awareness to new students joining learning institutions on the type of peer groups to be found in colleges, drug abuse and sexually transmitted infections as well as preventative measures.
