Hello! our youngest readers, Have you ever thought about this saying: “Show me your friends and I’ll tell you who you are.” You may also have heard the saying from Jim Rohn that “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” Take a look at your friends. Who do you spend the most time with and how do they make you feel? Will they help you achieve your goals? These questions should be your watchword as a fresher in the University of Nigeria.

As a fresher, achieving success is much easier when you are surrounded by the right people. There’s a pretty decent amount of research that shows having friends is important to our mental well-being but you also need the right type of friendships. Your environment molds who you are and can also shape who you become. But we have control over that. We also have control over the choices that we make. We can choose to place ourselves in environments that are positive. We can choose to surround ourselves with people who are on a similar journey. If your friends aren’t on the same path as you are on, can you continue your essential growth? No, when you find out that your already made friend is not a serious type, you have to cut him off for your own good. You can do so by dismissing him when ever he or she comes to distract you or you can as well find a topic that could be beneficial to you as a UNN student and not otherwise.

Some freshers think they have it all by showing off their wealth, do not be a victim to that. Do not be a braggart in the den because your lecturers are watching you and the exam questions do not smile.

As a freshman in UNN, make important friends who think in the same path with you. Find a good and conducive place to live as to help you achieve your academic goals in UNN.
