You Are Missing Out #TheMusterPoint1
January’s Muster Point travels from our “Study + Work” piece and Mayowa’s transition from Sports to Senate, to our upcoming love-themed magazine, SPARK. A digital catch-up.
January was… a hard month for APSULites and students of CMUL alike. We had several incourses, witnessed a few too many cases of hostel theft and security concerns on the compound, and grudgingly adjusted to the new —and maybe controversial, if you must— rules of the recently renovated court.
Here at APSoUL, we also went through a tough phase, a phase where we went mute for weeks and realized that our lofty dreams for the newsletter can only work where we have the systems that allow for consistency.
But that’s gone, and February is here. But we’re not saying goodbye without highlighting some of the stories and news that kept us fed in the long, two-faced month of January. With that, keep up with our first Muster Point, your end-of-month guide to APSoUL’s reads.
