Many a times we see campus students in groups doing different things.Students get into relationships for different reasons.Some of which are:

• ·         Peer pressure which comes from the urge to fit into a certain group of people

          ·         Financial reasons.

          ·         One may be lonely and desperate and therefore looking for somewhere they can find                           happiness

          ·         One can also get into a relationship for fame and popularity.

This and others are some of the reasons why one would get into a relationship.Once someone gets into a relationship for the wrong reasons,the outcome is normally not so good.

Most toxic relationships are as a result of one getting into a relationship for the wrong reasons.We have examples of outcomes of such relationships.

Last month (January 2020) a student from Technical University of Mombasa went missing for three days.He was later found dumped in a River. Investigations say that this boy was killed by a group of students who had discovered that he was having an affair with one of their friend’s girlfriend.

A young life was lost for such a minor issue.This is one of the outcomes of a toxic relationship among campus students.

Last year at Moi University,a medicine student the late Ivy Wangeci was brutally killed by her boyfriend.This shows that they were in a relationship for the wrong reasons and it ended up in a lot of sorrow.

This and many other incidents that have happened are a very good example of toxic relationships.Now,how can we avoid such relationships from us as campus students?

·         Let us be in relationships with positive outcomes,if a relationship you are in does not benefit you in any way,leave it.

·         Let us not use each other,don’t be close to someone for some benefits either money,fame,revenge,among others.

·         Let’s focus on building each other and being open in every relationship.This will prevent any bitterness that can cause any negative outcome in the future.

·         In case you have any doubts about a relationship you are having,seek advice from someone elderly.

·         Let us not do things out of peer pressure,to please our friends or to be seen as the best and become popular. Don’t take anyone’s kindness for your advantage.

If we do this we will maintain respect among each other and incidents like the ones happening will not be heard among us.Thank you.

FASHION AND SIMPLICITY.

By Joy Nzangi

                                                     

When you hear of fashion what comes into your mind? Is it complicated outfits? is it unique outfits?   What really comes into your mind. Well ,to me, fashion is simplicity, comfort-ability and uniqueness all displayed together.

Being simple, smart and comfortable at the same time, that’s fashion.  Many people confuse fashion with complicated outfits which now becomes weird.

Fashion also deals with blending colours.If you want to know more about fashion and what to wear on different occasions you should watch more fashion shows and award winning fashion agencies and see what they display.For instance the picture below was an award winning outfit of the African wear in a fashion show. photo:www.pinterest.at.

                         

When it comes to fashion there are different aspects to consider,we have colour, occasion, activities to be done,people to meet,events among others.I will discuss about each of them to see how it affects our outfits or attire in different occasions and times.We have events where a certain colour of outfit is required for example in burials people tend to wear black and white outfit.

According to activities,one can know the kind of outfit to wear according to activities they will carry out over the day,one needs to wear simple and comfortable clothes in a case where more casual work is involved,fancy clothes in events,official clothes in the office and so forth.

Weather is another factor and we all know how to dress according to different weather conditions.Our way of clothing will improve if we practice to wear the correct outfit each and every day.We should also allow people to comment on our outfit and tell us what we would have changed to look better.

Another important aspect of fashion is that it is our own creativity,it is not about copying what others are wearing or doing it is about what makes you comfortable and smart.

People look different in different outfits,whatever makes someone else outstanding, might not make you look good as well and this is because of different body shapes,skin colour,height.weight among others.

This is where fashion designers come in,they help you get the best outfit that suits you in whichever occasion.It is important to get yourself a designer that you trust and that is focused in what they are doing.This will give you a unique look at all times.

This are the basics about fashion and I hope this article was helpful to you all.Don't forget to subscribe,comment and share.Thank you
