Generally, we prefer to be seen as one of those succeeding academically as opposed to being termed average. Worst is to be regarded as one of the academically poor students.

If you aren’t succeeding academically, I propose you start doing these 5 things:

1. Start and Continue each Semester with a Plan
Nothing noteworthy happens by chance. Every successful venture was planned; written down or just thought out. However, a written down plan is more efficient and reliable.

There are only so many days in a semester, so to be efficient you need to know what your goals are and what you need to do in order to succeed as you begin each semester.

Take note from the onset that your plan need not be rigid and should be realistic.

2. Associate with the Right Students
Fellow students who constantly make excuses, complain and have a negative outlook should be avoided like the plague.

Campus friends who have lost sight of the reason for which they were admitted into school are a cancer and their negative aura can rub off on you. You can tell by the activities they engage in.

Surround yourself with friends that are focused and determined to improve in their academics or simply befriend the academically best student in your class.

3. Don’t Make Excuses in Support of Your Failures
If you fail to do an assignment, fail or miss a short-gun (an impromptu test), don’t make up excuses. Don’t accuse your lecturer of being evil and wanting your downfall.

Anytime you experience failure search for the causes and learn the lessons therein. If you keep making excuses for your mistakes, you will continue to make them.

4. Don’t be Jealous or Envious of Your Mates who are Succeeding
Seeing a fellow student succeed should motivate you. Every single student has the ability to succeed academically hence wasting time envying another student’s academic success is a distraction and will side track your progress.

5. Don’t give up when you fail
Failure in itself is not bad unless when we fail to learn from that failure. From my association with academically successful students I understand that virtually all of them have a history of failure.

When you fail at anything; including following through with this advice, the wisest move will be to ‘get up’, ‘dust yourself’, and continue by drawing strength from your target end-result.

You do all those things yet u have no food to eat, you trek to school , I swear d person gonna fail

In my opinion, i believe every student is given some amount of (pocket) money for up keep. Hence with proper planning at the beginning of the semester (no 1) you gonna have food to eat (maybe not 3 times daily) and you won't have to trek to school EVERYDAY. I swear d person Ain't gonna fail.

You have a point, but what about those students that always find it difficult to pay their school fees ? How will they eat? How will they buy handouts when they are yet to pay their school fee

OK oooo

Lastly, make u dey pray make ur enemy from village no follow u write exam.

L.

Not bad.

Once heard of a blind guy who was in Faculty of Law and was on 2:1.

My friend who was his class mate said "how won't he be on 2:1? He doesn't see the Mini Skirts and boobsies distracting us in class, even I would be on First Class if I was in his shoes. Jezebels everywhere you turn".

Ok.

All said and done.



I dont do any and am still on 4 points


Call me Badass and you are correct

Yes I concur they will succeed academically maybe graduating with first class becoming lecturers, 2nd class becoming bankers and maybe managers, lastly the third class "tagged outlaws " becoming politicians and presiding over the two other classes!

And God Factor too.....And OP I wan combine Biochemistry with music and classical writings maybe blogging too and online business ... have you any idea how to manage time effectively since I only have at most 18hrs a day?

Nothing noteworthy happens by chance. I like this quote from your post @ OP

we dey

ENDORSED

all what u're saying are direct opposites of what naija students do

1. most students don't even have a plan....
2. u rarely see this
3. if they fail, they blame d lecturers
4. no comment
5. they just sort it out
shikena!!

Simple a working environment

nice write up @ op.

Also focus and determination..

Nothing beats being the unserious one at the beginning of a semester and the serious student a week to exams

6. For male students - forget yassshh n bwestt for now.

For female students - forget sugar daddies n bigg pwickk for now.

Do these n U will fly high!!!
