What my eyes saw during that event made me hate campus. After that night, I wished there could be a total ban on Freshers Night in all campuses.
It made me remember one thing that a great friend of mine, Ezra, once told me – that darkness hides many things and gives people courage to do anything.
That night, I witnessed young souls being destroyed within minutes. I never knew that smoking bhang was as common as drinking soda. The smell of marijuana was everywhere.
In high school, I used to hear of this thing called "Fresher's Ball" from my friends who were in various universities. It was on the mouth of every campus student I knew. After passing my exams with flying colours, I joined Rongo University where I finally got to experience university life.
After a few weeks, I came across a colourful poster reminding students of the coming Freshers Night. An older student explained to me that it was like a welcoming ceremony for first year students. I wondered why such an event would be held at night, but I decided to find out by myself.
