Why I Chose to Keep Writing

-

 This is not my first time blogging, I actually started writing during a university assignment for UJ’s 20-year celebration. But something about that experience stayed with me.

I realised how much I enjoyed slowing down, reflecting, and capturing the colors of my daily life. So, this time, I am doing it for me.

So here I am. Still writing. Still reflecting.

This space, My Days in Colour, is my way of turning ordinary days into something meaningful. I am currently a student at the University of Johannesburg, studying Public Relations and Communication. Life is full of lessons, wins, struggles, and stories, and this blog is my way of saying all of it. Whether it is reflecting on a lecture, sharing a song, or just venting about a tough day, I am putting it all here.

What this blog is about

Daily reflections as a student and growing adult
The behind-the-scenes of student life at UJ
Honest thoughts, sudden moments
Songs, sounds, and moods
Lessons I am learning by living

Why I chose to keep going

Because even when life gets loud or overwhelming, writing gives me clarity.
Because I want to remember who I was in these moments.
Because someone else might read this and feel seen.

Why It Matters

I believe stories, especially everyday ones, connect us. If something I write helps someone else feel less alone, laugh, think, or just relate, then this will be worth it.

Let us Connect

If you are reading this, thank you for being here. I hope this blog feels like a warm voice you can visit whenever you need one.

Let us walk through our colorful days together.

Reflecting on my transformative journey at the University of Johannesburg as it celebrates 20 years of shaping lives, building future and empowering communities. My UJ story is one of growth, purpose, and hope. Here’s how the University of Johannesburg changed my life.  I did not just study at UJ, I grew, struggled and rose and in all I found is something greater: me. A first year- year of fear In 2024, I arrived at the Auckland Park Bunting Campus with a heart full of hope and my head full of doubts and confusion. I was worried about fitting in, finding lecture venues because I did not attend First Year Experience and passing my modules in Public Relations . I had no idea how to use a student portal, no friends, and no clue how to do things online. Everything felt different, the platforms, the people, and the pressure. But as the months went by UJ became more than a campus, it became my new home. I learned how to use my student portal, how to do things online and how time ma...

Waking up with a Purpose

-
  Hooray! I actually woke up at 6 a.m. today and did my morning prayer, something I had planned for yesterday but missed. It felt really good to start my day aligned and peaceful. I had a 9 ;40 a.m. class, so I got ready and headed to campus. In class, the lecturer explained the assignment expectations, which helped clear up a few things. Then something sweet and unexpected happened… Free Juice & Warm Moments  After class, we passed by the Student Centre, and guess what? They were giving out free juice ! As if they knew I needed it, because I had only brought biscuits. That little gesture reminded me how powerful giving can be. Seeing people smile and say “thank you” for something small is honestly such a joy. It made me realise: “Giving back brings joy to both the giver and the receiver.”   Study Sessions & Real Conversations Later, I chilled with my friend while we ate, and then we jumped back into study mode,  still preparing for my test next week. We ask...
