I Studied Biology. Nigeria Made Me a Writer.
I spent years studying Biology, learning about cells, organisms, and ecosystems, convinced that science was my path. I was diligent, I showed up, and I did the work. The most obvious destination for someone with my degree was teaching, and I do not say that with any bitterness. I genuinely love teaching. I have taught, and I enjoyed it more than I expected.

Gen Z Dating Culture Challenges Traditional Ideas About Commitment And Exclusivity
The gen Z is not destroying dating they are reinventing it in their own way. The traditional guidelines of relationship are being confronted, challenged and re-written in a world marked by a high rate of change, daily connectivity and the increased sensitivity of the emotional. The classic patterns of dating based on such obvious landmarks as exclusiveness, commitment, and eventual matrimony are no longer felt to be universal. Rather, a more fluid, deliberate course is being adopted by a significant number of young people; one that values honesty, emotional and personal development over fixed demands.

Gen Z Dating Psychology Encourages Honest Conversations About Emotional Boundaries
The Gen Z is transforming the dating culture in that it has been found to emphasize honesty and transparency especially in terms of emotional boundaries. This generation also appreciates clarity in communication as opposed to the past where people used to prefer not to establish an expectation but had to wait to see what unfolded. Emotional boundaries are not presupposed but openly negotiated, which makes people know what each other requires, what limits and what intentions they have. The trend is indicative of a cultural trend of placing more weight on self-awareness, emotional intelligence, in which open communication becomes the cornerstone of creating healthy and respectful relationships.

Benching Dating Culture Encourages Keeping Multiple Romantic Options Available
Benching, is a dating practice that involves one holding a love interest in a back-up position until they find alternatives. The term originates in sports, in which players are held back on the bench until they are required. This is done in dating by keeping in contact every now and then but not choosing to get into a serious relationship. The bencher gives the other person only as much attention as is necessary to hold the other person engaged but not with any intentions or exclusivity. This builds up a situation in which one party is still emotionally open and the other one is not committed.
