Hello nlanders, I school in a federal university in Nigeria and honestly I'm not impressed with my academic results. Truly the saying show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are is playing out in my life right now, my friends are those who are not academic agile , the type that says 'school is scam' or any type of results you get is not important in a country like Nigeria. And frankly , I know I've joined their bandwagon and I've lost most interest in schooling.

The problem here is that this set of my friends always have a guy or family member around helping them out financially while I don't. In fact, I'm the first born of my family and I suppose to set the pace for my younger ones plus I'm not interested in following guys to live off them.

I've always have big dreams of making both myself and my family proud and being as independent as I can even as a lady and I can't afford to have my academic dreams crushed because of friends that do not care or probably find a guy later to foot their bills.

I have a GP of 3.8 and 3.21( licensed to more correction cause I don't know how to calculate it) in my first and second year respectively

Can I at least make a second class upper if I change my academic habits

NB: I'm saying most things mildly, it's pretty serious.

1. change your friends. start moving with those that have value for education. those that read like they will die if they don't get 1st class.

2. know the basics about your course of study. if it involves practicals - know them very well.
if it involves field works - get involved.

3. pray (if you believe in a supreme being)

4. be hopeful

5. start getting acquinted with lecturers and people of repute

6. learn a skill.

i can explain my reasons for every suggestion i made

Honestly, I'm scared of leaving my friends and if I try to make new friends now , I don't know if they'll stay. But it doesn't matter because they won't be there with me when I show my parents my results. �

I already have a skill tho I'm yet to be perfect at it.

But can I still make a good result?

between your friends and a bright future, choose one

Everyone has a story to tell, I was isolated while growing up(friends and everything cancelled for me) and when I meet this people, I guess I felt I have found a group of people who finally understands me.

What am I saying sef , I'll pick my future because I can't jeopardize my chances of furthering my academics outside because of a few friends.

Thanks for the advice.

Everyone will tell you change your friends...after graduation, na still those friends fit help you.

Your friends are your friends, regardless. Devote time for study. No be every waka you go follow them waka. Use your head. Life na per head.

True talk, he has to change his mindset and set his mind to study hard...

University frnds are very important ooh. Dont abandone ur frnds but u cn give in more time to studying espescially at nite hours, u will need discipline. Stil, hook up with d brighter students too 4 studys nd gettin latest handouts/information. And finally, don't u eva think ur results cn guarantee u a beta future. Pls study to know, nt just study to pass.

People telling you to change your circles of friends do have reasons for that

I did change most of my friends when they were affecting my academic, but on the short run after graduation.... It did affect me because some made it through the uncles and big brother, some fell by the way, some went through the backdoor to be someone in life. It was difficult, but at the long run i found comfort that i made the right choice because i was able to toe my own path to success

Friendship is not by force but by choice. You can be sensible to choose friends that adds value to your life and help you move forward. You don't need to leave your friends as it were, you only need to properly define your friendship. You can hang around with them once in a while but you must understand that you need people that will help achieve your dream. They also don't have to "super glue friends" but as i said earlier the relationship with them also is defined.

And if you know that your current friends are negatively impacting you, dear friend you have to move on or get trapped in irrevocable academic failure.

Choose your friends wisely. They either make or mar you.

This my university friends I've noticed are not good at supporting ones goals . Whenever I come up with an idea or a passion they always find ways to kill it tho they do so jokingly,,, but alas words cut deep especially to a sensitive person like me. I feel like I'm trapped between making a right or wrong decision and it's been bugging me for a long time now

Though I know they can change, I have just about enough will power for myself right now.

I think you are in the best position to answer this question. So, can you?
