What's New with Fopsy?

It's not like I plan to post new blogposts on Tuesdays, Tuesday just happens to be the day that I don't plan much for. So here I am, on another Tuesday afternoon.

Since my blog got a new look last week, I've been playing around with its structure. I've been trying to re-categorize posts to figure out exactly what the blog is about. I really want it to be about one thing, but there's no single thing that keeps me up at night- there are however a few things I love. I know that once I'm comfortable, I could talk about a topic forever. I also love sharing new knowledge! Oh and food and travel are my boos! Jesus is king in my life and I'm learning to love Him more, so I sometimes share about that.

Anyway, if you clicked on this post, you're probably looking to really learn what is new with me. I'm travelling to Nigeria for almost three months. I'm kind of excited. I was very excited, but there were so many killjoys reminding me of the sketchy security, the less than amazing internet speed and a few other things. But I keep thinking of how crucial this time is for me, it is likely to be the last time I'll be able to go off by myself for so long without any significant opportunity costs. So I'm pretty bent on having a blast!

I'm getting back to school in January in a field I'm not very familiar with, so fear is trying to creep in. But with how much practice I've had with worry, fear and anxiety in the months since graduation, it's almost insulting that fear would even attempt to creep in. I'm certain that with God and adequate preparation- even having God alone, all will be well!

But at this very moment in my life what I've been doing is watching a lot of Youtube (mostly vlogs, but I'm also becoming a Jackie of many trades), I've been reading too (more of self-improvement-type books than fiction). And now, as I type, I realize I want to add some prayer-investments for my future to my to-do-list for this season.

I feel like this post deserves a picture or two, so here you go!
Recent picture of my siblings and I not being red-carpet appropriate...lol we never are appropriate! You should watch our Snacpchat show - "Fope's Fabulous Family"! The Fans think it's amazing!

Life Vlogs on my Snapchat: @fopsyyyy (no idea why there had to be that many y's... it's a mistake that I'm stuck with since we can't edit our usernames on snapchat)

Alright then, until next time! Have a splendid week!

Hey Lil Troublemaker.

I have a midterm anyway, so there's no way around school today. No point whining. There's a 3-minute bus for the 7minute walk I have to make to my next class.  When the roads are icy and slippery (like today) and man's greatest fear is becoming 'Humpty-Dumty the second', that walk becomes more10-ish minutes. So, of course I'll take the bus! *Whew!*. I made the bus.  To calm my raging nerves - because I'm pretty tensed about my Stats midterm - I read the cover page of Metro newspaper. The story I first see is something about wheelchairs not getting priority over strollers. Lol? Who wouldn't know that? On second thought, it wouldn't be on the front page of the paper if something hadn't happened. Apparently, some bus driver had told someone with a toddler to get off t...

Why "Be Yourself" is Terrible Advice

I recently had a conversation with one of my friends, which led her to the conclusion that I wasn’t spiritual enough to date her brother. It was kind of a joke, but as we know, in every joke there’s at least an iota of truth.    So, it got me thinking. See, I self-identify as an open-minded person, at least in my circle of Nigerian, Christian friends, I’m a little bit of an anomaly. I have my own ideas about life, alcohol, sex, and other things I wonder about. No, it’s nothing that necessarily contradicts the Bible; it’s just a little too much for my people. Now, without even knowing the details of our conversation, you’re already thinking I’m not Christian enough to date you or your brother. Don’t worry I don’t want to date you either. On a serious note though, I was taken aback a little by my friend’s conclusion, mostly because I wondered if the things that made her come to that conclusion were the same ones being impediments to my ability to ...

Thoughts on Being Aliens on Earth and Entertainment-Related Filth

I now get why some Christians decide to do extreme things like refusing to own a T.V. I'm watching this episode of Moments with Mo , and the topic is No Romance without Finance. Urgh. So may things be hitting the wrong nerves. I'm giving this thing a try where I completely substitute my music for Christian music. It's doable, I know. But I love Sunny Ade and a little Olamide here and there. I mean, I already know better than to accept the lyrics of the songs as the truth, but on some days I'm also embarrassed of what I'm listening to. I DJed for about15 minutes at a hangout  with my friends the other day, and when the pretty gross lyrics of Olamide and Phyno's "Ladi" came on, I was quite ashamed. The friends weren't even actively listening to the words of the song, but my own spirit condemned me.
