(part2) The first evening was when I truly understood that I was no longer at home.

My first day in boarding school in 2001 was a mixture of excitement and fear.

After seeing my seniors looking like grown women, I was already wondering what I had gotten myself into. But the real reality check came that evening.

The warning bell for dinner rang.

At that moment, everyone knew what to do.

You quickly picked your plate, cup, and cutlery. You also had to make sure your day wear was complete because once the final bell rang, there was no more time to arrange yourself.

When the final bell sounded, the prefects came out and started chasing everyone out of the hostel.

No playing.

No delaying.

Everybody lined up according to their houses.

We had six houses, each with its own colour:

Rima House — Brown 🤎
Benue House — Yellow 💛
Gongola House — Purple 💜
Niger House — Green 💚
Cross River House — Red ❤️
Ogun House — Blue 💙

The Refectory Prefects would move from one person to another checking if your plate, cup, and cutlery were complete.

If anything was missing...

Chai! You had entered one chance.

Finally, we got to the dining hall.

In my mind, I was imagining the kind of food I would see.

Maybe fried rice and chicken. Maybe something special because it was my first day.

But guess what welcomed me?

Watery beans. 😭

That evening, I looked at the food and decided I was not eating.

I was still thinking like a child at home.

In my mind, I thought, "If I refuse this food, my mum will ask me what is wrong. Maybe she will prepare something else for me."

But boarding school had its own rules.

Nobody came to ask:

"Why are you not eating?"

Nobody begged you.

Nobody prepared another meal.

After dinner, we went straight for night prep until 9pm before returning to the hostel.

That was the moment I started understanding that boarding school was not just about academics.

It was a place where you learned independence, discipline, and how to survive.

Looking back now, I laugh at that little girl who thought home rules followed her everywhere.

To everyone who attended boarding school, what was your first shocking experience?

(Part one)The day I entered boarding school, I almost changed my mind about everything

I grew up in a family of three, and after finishing primary school, I gained admission into Federal Government College, Akwa Ibom.

My father believed boarding school was the best thing for me, and honestly, he was not completely wrong.

But looking back now, I can say boarding school had two sides.

It built me, but it also tested me.

I still remember my first day in the hostel in 2001.
I entered with my box, my things, and the confidence of a small girl who thought she was ready for a new chapter.

Until I saw my seniors...

Chai! 😭

Some of them were so big that, honestly, they looked like they could already be mothers.

I just stood there looking at them and shouted:

"Chimo!"

In my mind that day, I was asking myself:
"Am I really supposed to stay here?"

Little did I know that those years would teach me some of the biggest lessons about life, friendship, independence, and surviving outside my parents' home.

Boarding school was not always easy, but today I am grateful for the experience.

To everyone who attended boarding school, what was your first day like? Did you also get scared when you saw your seniors? 😂

Some of you know me as Anie Diary, the lady behind the Headwrap tutorials.

But today, let me introduce myself properly.
My name is Aniema, and I am proudly from Akwa Ibom State.

For a long time, many of you have known me because of my love for Headwraps, creativity, and fashion.

But there is another side of me that I want to share with you.
Beyond the Headwraps, I am someone who loves learning from life, sharing experiences, and talking about the little things that make us human.

Sometimes life teaches us lessons through people, through challenges, through mistakes, and through everyday moments.

So whenever you see a picture of me like this, just know there is probably a story, a lesson, or a little gist behind it. 😊

This is another side of Anie Diary.

Welcome to my world.

Let me know where you are connecting from. I would love to know my people here.
