Dream Or Reality by Nobody: 7:21pm On Aug 02, 2014
Please this is my first article, its open to critcisms/ suggestions, thank you.

Here is my story as a jambito in the Lions den, Unn... Enjoy

Is this a dream or reality...
This is a question, I couldn't answer the following morning after waking up thirty minutes to my first exam in the university.

It all started the previous evening,
when I had planned to read till daybreak after coming back from the library in the evening. I was so tired, I just went for a shower, warmed my remaining beans which I cooked yesterday. I loved beans and yam so much back then, so I didn't mind if it was soured or not, I just ate it like that.

I then rushed off to the reading room at the corner of Mbanefo hall to read. On getting there, after reading for 20 minutes or so, I slept off only to wake up to see people running for their dear lives. As a Delta boy na( we no dey carry last na), so I joined them only to come outside and see everybody looking at me strangely like I was a ghost.

I was so confused as to why they were staring at me like that or is it because am a jambito nii. My heart was pounding like it would soon develop legs of its own and run off until I saw one of my room mates who was about leaving the scene. Without wasting much time I approached him and asked him, `please what happened and why is everybody staring at me like am a ghost'.

My roommate looked amazed by my question and then finally gave me the much awaited answer `you were polluting the air like a bad I better pass my neighbour generator, that's why everybody was running cos the whole place smelt like rotten beans'

I couldn't stand the shame, after all my forming fresh boy in the hostel so na so boys go use me wash chai am in soup.

I immediately left for my room and slept off just to wake up few minutes to my first examination in Unn. I immediately took my bath, put on my sunshades and entered shuttle taxi (taxi that I said I would never enter cos its too expensive, chai see wetin beans don cause o). On getting there, the exams was postponed to twelve noon. I was so disappointed cos all I planned was to quickly write my exams and leave.

I couldn't bare looking at anybody so I just looked for a corner to sit. People started coming to ask me if the rumours were true even those ones that I don't even talk to sef. I was still wandering if this is a Dream or Reality, when my roomie came to wake me up if I was still going for a revision class that night.

When I got up, I was like thank God, its a dream before my room mate told me thanks for punishing us with ur Mess. I just smiled and went back to sleep, knowing that it was just a DREAM.

Nice try. In my opinion you kept going back and forth. There is something you need to do about time lines.

The dream part
The taxi part
The waking up part

You need to seamlessly blend them all in.

@OP I think you gave it a nice shot but you have to be precise when it comes to the arrangement of the plot. And you used 'wandering' where it ought to be 'wondering'.
