What do we stand to get from being unhappy with life alongside all that accompanies it. Certain situations are beyond our control, all of us have been definitely fated so the more we complain, murmur, or worry, the less it means.

Share 3 Events That Made You Joyful This Year.

---

There are several events to enumerate, nonetheless, I could only scrape out the three images below to illustrate most of these joyful moments. We are approaching the twelfth month of the year which is usually filled with so many outings, however, as the case may be, below are most of the joyous moments so far.

Father's Day Celebration

This is usually an annual event but this year's own was phenomenal. It was the last event to be headed by the resident minister who had been transferred to another section of the church.

The event came with dual feelings. While we were joyful about the celebration of men, on the other hand, we were all sad to lose such a friendly pastor to transfer so it was an event of missed feelings.

It was a memorable event, as it consisted of the Men's Day celebration and the pastor's child dedication so the day could be characterized as a dual event day. It was indeed a memorable and joyful day.

Several remarks and donations were made, and subsequently, we had the cake cut and refreshments as well to become more cheerful. Soft drinks and sweet wines were served along with tasty fried rice.

	Old School Day

This was another joyful moment as we had a throwback to years of our fathers. It is during our student's academic social week right there in the Universal of Aviation. It was quite fun to see all manner of outfits and dress that reminded me of our ancient times.

The group in the above picture is made up of Hotel Management and Travel Agency Management students. There were lots of displays and entertainment from the students. Funny enough, a good of the lecturers partook in the event of the day as they also displayed what outfits they witnessed while growing up.

We had competitions among different departments, awards were given and recognitions were made. The most joyful part of the events was my class USA/batchA/classB winning the trophies as we came first in the Airline Geography competition and I was among class reps.

By the end of the events we had a little entertainment and soft drinks to chill out and calm our nerves.

Miss USA Beauty Pageantry

The event was held in Omoba Hotels and my very close friend Edet Blessing emerged as the winner of Miss USA out of a total of six (6) contestants. It was joyful and entertaining, I watched all the contestants take their walk down the aisle.

They were asked intelligent questions, their moves and steps were taken into account, and their fluency and facial expressions were also taken into consideration. A lot of assessments were made before the panel of judges could announce the winner. The atmosphere is put into suspense by the MC before he finally offers the judgment.

It was an all-night event, the music, and the lighting system, all contributed to the beauty of the environment. Special continental dishes were served with assorted vodkas and spirits.
