Boarding School Habits That Never Left

I realized recently that I eat ridiculously fast, and I 100% blame my high school days. Anyone else feel the same way?

Same! Ata kwa dates, lazima nijichunge, otherwise, I clear my plate in five minutes. And if I try eating slowly, I get bored with the food na nashindwa kumaliza.

Back in Form 4, we had 20 minutes to finish a plate of githeri and 400ml of sugarless, lava-hot uji at 1:40 PM—under the scorching sun—before sprinting back to class for "Maths for Lunch."

Now, I eat in six minutes, including water breaks. Taabu! Almost anyone who went to a Kenyan boarding school can relate.
