    To the Editor,

    The standard news paper,

    Mukono, Uganda.

    Re: two activities University students indulge in when they are  out of the compass premises.

    Dear sir, 

    There are a lot of activities university students indulge in after they are out of the university premises. Though I am choosing to focus on only two  that they have  dubbed “ enjoyment and cool” but in my perspective I think it’s expensive as it costs their  education and health.  

    These are the  two common activities that  I have noticed all  students from various  universities indulge in when they are not at compass attending lectures. These include :

    Partying:  this involves going to different clubs with their friends  to have “ enjoyment”. Some of the clubs include Mango Groove, Casablanca name it. The partying/clubbing begins from Wednesday to  Sunday then Monday they are back for lectures.

    Usage of drugs and alcohol: these include alcohol drinks like Smirnoff , Marijuana, cigarettes, bond 7 and so forth. Most of the students learn to use these drugs and alcohol in the different clubs or from their friends back in their hostels, this kind of interaction is what they refer to as “ cool”. 

    I understand that these are common  social activities even in the context of the world but I believe  this kind of  “enjoyment and coolness”  is  expensive  for the students because it costs some their education or shortens their health. I recommend that  if they really want  to continue with such activities then they should ensure to keep their education as their first priority and  do everything in the right amount as the old saying goes: too much of anything is bad.

    Yours sincerely,

    Nicole Nankya.
