We see a lot of students making mistakes every day in school. Some are career ending, life threatening, heartbreaking, while some are for a short painful while.

So I'm here to list what mistakes students shouldn't make in school, and university to be precise.

1. Never wait for your Part 3 or 4 before going for your internship/IT, use every holiday to learn something new and interesting be it in your field or outside of it.

2. Never graduate knowing only things pertaining to your degree, if you do, you will limit yourself, expand your horizon, know something about everything there is to know.

3. Never read for grades, Grades won't carry you beyond school. Read for knowledge, read to be empowered.

.4 Never separate yourself from others, Make friends with all sorts of people. Regardless of faith, creed, colour, knowledge.

5. Never allow a lecturer limit you or your ability. He's where he probably wants to be, you're not where you want to be. Don't allow him to limit you by his grades, words or outbursts

6. Never look down on grades, read to have the A's, do your best to be among the best. If C is what you can achieve with all your strength,

7. Never substitute religious activity with real relationship with God. Participate in Fellowship activities, but never let it interrupt your personal relationship with God. Don't be a zealot or an Extremist.

8. Never look down on anyone, the poor guy then could be a millionaire after school. The guy who struggled to make 3rd Class might come back rich and powerful. No other person has been more recognized in my set (Internationally and Within Nigeria) than my good Friend Chibuike despite Graduating with a weak 2.2. Not by what you read ohhh

9. Never think people are going to treat you specially, just because you're graduating with a good grade. The world out there is full of people more qualified than you.

10. Never depart from God or his Godly principles. Your life depends on him, In dominus El Frustra, latin loosely meaning (Without God we labour in vain). You need God on your best days and on your worst days, never look down on the power of Favour or Grace of God

11. Fresher beware of Catch them Young, they'll only take advantage of you.

12. Last but not the least. Don't do suicide! It's not worth it. Now doesn't justify the future, you can overcome that depression. Believe!
And remember! Be yourself!

Certain pitfalls

So true lol

ojun50:
don't use your school fees , text money , feeding allowance to play bet 9ja

Gobengroup:
What's your advice for those who are about to give up school.

Keep on going

Me, I very nearly gave up in my second, and penultimate year. Kept going on because I did not want to be cursed by my father...who was overworking himself to fund my education.

aylive02:
;DPeople wey make these mistakes dey collect 6 digits salary now

U mean African meat pie

Stevyne:
13. No date any gal for your department

why

Junnior:
why

For some reasons omoh,
You no go DEH free around other gals

Cashio:
make contacts...a lot of contacts

Jobs I've done since I finished school last year have all come either from direct friends or referrals by friends I met in school.

How do you make a lot of "contacts"? Thanks

AllenSpencer:
Don't join school cults

Join world renowned fraternities

You will never regret it.

World renowned fraternities? Please give examples

This is dope.

university students, print this, frame it....you'll surely need it

Junnior:

World renowned fraternities? Please give examples

Rosicrucianism

Stevyne:

For some reasons omoh,
You no go DEH free around other gals

Levels dey to the game sha. I don see guys wey successfully date several girls, one after the other, in the same class.

I wish I was told all of this before getting admission to the university... All they told me is not to join bad gang and I did not but the other matter nah DO.

AllenSpencer:


Rosicrucianism

What's this? Never heard of it. And we have this in Nigerian schools?

Grades is the koko. Going to school to let the school pass through you and all that is not koko. It's a risk. If you go to school read to pass and get good grades , trust me you wont regret it.
All other things are distractions that make graduating hard and school a circus or zoo.
If you go school and school pass through you and you no pass or get a weak grade no blame your village people .
Trust me you have nothing to loose by focusing on your studies 99% of your time in school.
All those forming hard guy, sex don or fine boy or girl many find out it's too late .

Junnior:

Guy na true!
I graduated from chemical Science department ( Science Laboratory Technology)
Everyone no say gals na him DEH dominate the course.

I dated roughly 5 gals without dem knowing.
Along the line, the thing just tire me.
If he reach exams, na there wahala they, gumbody for exam hall wan too much

Make sure you answer the question: how can I monetize what i know? If you cannot monetize what you know you are finished...you went to school, gathered knowledge, spent time and money on practically nothing...

Junnior:

How do you make a lot of "contacts"? Thanks

Just make friends. Do not be among the class of people that will always want to keep to themselves and when you ask them, they say they are avoiding unnecessary drama and fake people. Kill that mindset if you have one.
Be friends among your lodge members, coursemates, and every other person you happen to meet while in school.

I handled three projects last year as a site architect. One was from my lecturer, the second was from my coursemate who had two projects at the same time and needed to give one out while the last one, I was referred by a secondary School classmate who had a friend that wanted to build.
Fast forward this year, I got another job as a site architect for a small private firm and guess what? I was referred by another coursemate.

God bless you sir. Number Seven and eight humbled me. I thought I was the only wisest guy on nairaland, the op is a bit wiser than me. Education is good, but discovering your true self is better. This is one of the very few sensible posts have read in a long while. Before the end of today, someone would post here how he slept with a girl he met on Facebook.

Doradorwa:
I wish I was told all of this before getting admission to the university... All they told me is not to join bad gang and I did not but the other matter nah DO.

say the truth, apart from not joining bad gangs, did you not go clubbing?Had numerous boyfriends?

Your university degree does not guarantee success in life... Your talents will.

Cashio:

Neutralobserver:

Successfulben:
