Yesterday, i got to talk with a friend who have being away for long. We got into a heated conversation that took some hours to pull out from. We vaulted from one topic to another until we hopped into the topic about how we all read hard to secure our admissions into our present course of study in our various tertiary institutions. My friend started narrating how he used to mix coffee without milk in warm water to drink every night he was to burn his night candles to read for long.
