Introduction

Good day my fellow Blurtians, I hope your day is going well. Today I'll be discussing on a topic that is focused on students that will be entering a university very soon and steps for easy life and survival in the university/campus. Let's dig in.

They say university years are the best time of your life and it can be true, But being broke is also an exception you must consider. How can a student juggle work time and lessons? How do one stay healthy while eating bowls of garri?
To help overcome these challenges, I've put together the supreme lists of skills you need to make it through university without losing the will to live.

1. Entrepreneurial Skills

This is the most reliable skill that every students must have before going to university, look for opportunities to make money and utilitize it. Such opportunities can range from selling airtime, Writing assignments for cash, selling clothes etc. If you have a learnt a skill like Graphics Design or Tailoring, then you can showcase your talent and hope to get a work from rich scholars there.

2. Endurance skills

If there's a skill a student needs, then it'll be endurance skill. Have you ever imagined standing up and listening to a lecture for 3hrs just because of unfortunate you wanting to sign an attendance register or cueing in a bank for 4hrs just to pay your school fees. As far your a Nigerian, you need to learn how to endure stress because that's just the definition of the country's Universities.

3. Negotiating Skills (Begging Skills)

This section covers all part of your student life, if you find yourself missing some lectures then you need someone to revise/explain to you what was taught when you aren't present. This is when your negotiating skills comes in handy, you should be able to ask your friends for some money when your broke or telling fake stories to your parents to get extra allowance. To put everything in place, you just need those white lies to help you through tough times.

4. Planning Skill

Knowing how to plan is a good way of surviving in universities, you should schedule and plan a reading/studying time according to your daily activities. A student is responsible for his academic success within the university and the courses are are much bulkier compared to your secondary school. This will help you form a habit of reading even when it's time for exams, you won't have any problems.

5. Budgeting Skill

Don't be afraid of going broke on campus, learn how to budget your little income to what you need not what you want. You should tabulate the essential things you need in the campus such as Foods, Bills and School Materials. Even when you have enough money to cater for all the essentials, don't pend the rest on luxurious stuffs instead save it for future benefits.

Conclusion

Going to a new environment is everyone experience. University is not a joke especially when you live without your family. We should all try to share information about our experience to youngstars so they can learn and adapt quickly in these places... Peace🕊️
