A large number of university and middle-level college students that make a majority of the youths in Eldoret town believe that they can never have fun without alcohol and smoking.
However, what is fun when alcohol robs your brain, time and money? What is fun when your friends remind you all the crazy things such as sexual harassments you did or those that were done to you while drunk?
There are various ways to have fun at the university without involving alcohol and drugs.
These include:
Dancing
The first way to have fun as a comrade is through joining dance classes and crews. In the University of Eldoret for example, there are numerous dancing crew such as The Black dimension, H-Crew and UOE Salsa that you can join. Through dancing, you will learn teamwork, focusing and improvisational skills. If music is part of your fun moments even as you drink, you will freely dance to the best tunes.
Art shows
As you think of getting tipsy on Friday, the University of Eldoret drama club showcases arts of all kind including acting, singing, dancing, spoken word and other dozens of talents. This is always an opportunity to learn concentration skills as you laugh and enjoy the best acts. You will save the money you could have used to buy alcohol.
Cycling
Another way is through bike cycling. This is not only fun but it also improves your physical health. Since there are bikes for hire around the university, you do not need to own one to enjoy the cycling. You can also borrow from a friend and make sure you take care of it. You can as well hire one for you partner and cycle as a couple.
Swimming
Eldoret is stuffed with many recreational centres such as Poa Place. With only Sh150, you will swim to your satisfaction. You cannot compare that with the quantity of alcohol you will need to get drunk.
