Why Omeyi actually quit university
Omeyi, in a TikTok video, said she just quit after realising she was not connecting with the course.
While noting that she would be starting a different university and a different course in 2025, Omeyi is still undecided about what she will study.
Omeyi said she was interested in biochemistry while applying to the university, but a different reality hit her during lectures.
“…After my second week of lectures, actually, from like the first week of lectures, I was like, this course is not for me.
“I started contemplating leaving. I posted a TikTok talking about wanting to leave. It’s now been a month since I got back home. So, yeah, I decided to just leave. And I’d be going back to a different uni next year to study a different course, which I am not yet sure what that course is.
“I tried kind of, I wasn’t connecting with like the content like at all. I had no reason to study biochemistry. I convinced myself when I was applying that I wanted to and I was interested in it. When I actually got to lectures and sitting down and doing the work, I was like, I am not interested in any of these. Like, I can’t do this for three to four years…”
Omeyi advised people not to study what they were not passionate about, saying it could lead to their grades suffering or them getting disinterested like her.
In the comment section, she further revealed:
“There was no course in my uni that I liked. And it was too late to transfer to a different uni for most. I just wanted to take time out to decide properly instead of diving into something else.”

“If u not into the subject fine. But u can’t really know if uni is for u after the 2nd week. it is overwhelming in those weeks. Time flies, u are adjusting. after a semester if u feel the same, decide.”
