There seems to be no better time to poke fun at your experience as an undergraduate than when you finally make it out of the campus.
The time you look back at the stress, the moments some campus frustrations made you ask yourself rhetorical questions like why did I enroll for this course, why am I even here? That time all you could do is laugh out loud, wondering how you survived.
This seems to be the exact case with some Nigerian medical students as they took to Twitter on Friday night to share their hilarious experience as students.
Tweeting via the hashtag #MBBSJourney, trending at number one spot on Twitter Nigeria through Friday night into the midnight on Saturday, some of the medical graduates and undergraduates share their hilarious experiences with lecturers and patients.
It was gathered that the Lagos State University Medical Students Association (LASUMSA) in conjunction with Ilorin Medical Students Association (ILUMSA) kickstarted the conversation on Friday evening to get medical students and graduates to share their campus experiences using the hashtag.
See some of the tweets:
