you have to understand that all am about to tell you here are what we have seen and what still happens, so be patient, read to the end.
For the admitted ones the questions on their minds are;
when is school resuming? Should we start coming to school? When is reg starting? Should we start paying for school fees and so on?
Those are right questions but
Beyond these, there are certain valuable things you also need to know. First of all, big congratulations for having made it and congratulations in advance to those yet to be admitted. It’s not easy.
Do not feel you are better than those who couldn’t make it or will not make it, rather; give God all the praises because its not as if you read or prepared more than they
did, its not as if you did more or took more risks than they did, you all read, prepared, did equal expenses and took same risks but God has favoured you and said this is your
time.
I want you to understand that gaining admission into
university is NOT the time for you to start planning to exhibit all those your bad potentials you are not allowed to exhibit at home, wearing sexy and seductive clothes which
you are not allowed to wear at home (girls), carrying irresponsible hair styles which you are not allowed to carry at home (Guys).
It’s NOT the time for you to start making plans on how to visit those men/guys you have been longing to visit or the time to start inviting girls to come visit you, its NOT the
time to start going for party, its NOT the time to lose your virginity, its NOT the time to get yourself “belonged” or start being arrogant, naughty, etc.
Gaining admission into university is the time to be
“FOCUSED”, its the time to feel “CHALLANGED”, its the time
to feel “AT RISK”, its the time to be “RESPONSIBLE”, its
the time to be “CAREFUL”, humble and know that 80% of the decisions about your destiny now lies in your hands and any wrong decision you make at this stage will definitely reflect on your academics/future tomorrow.
DONT FIGHT IN & OUTSIDE THE CAMPUS
Fighting isn’t allowed in universities. If you punch anybody and you get caught then you stand a chance of being awarded a generous compulsory holiday at home. You will be rusticated or maybe suspended. It all means that your parents may never forgive you for wasting their expenses on you For you to be that great person you have always wished or desired to be starts right now as a fresher, for you to make your first class, second class upper/lower, third class, etc all starts as a fresher, for you to graduate or not graduate with your
mates starts as a fresher. A lot of good and bad things are waiting you inside that campus.
Some will tell you that you need to belong to cult to make it, they will tell you that the former head of state, Governor, senator were all there because they were cultists. What they won’t tell you is about many who died in the process.
Some will tell you that you need to become “GAY”.. (a lesbian or a homo-intimateist)
To avoid distraction, diseases and unwanted pregnant, what about the curses that are attached to it? Some will tell you that you need a
company and someone to date or always be with to know what’s up around the school or to get academic aid or to avoid being lonely, they are all lies.
There are harmless friends, there are fellowships, there are
reading groups, there are good clubs to be your company,
academic aid and so on. University is a dangerous place because your parents are not there to direct you or make decisions for you, your
room-mates or your school friends can’t do that for you; they have not even finished deciding rightly for themselves let alone deciding for you.
All the decisions are on you to make, Nobody will ask you
to read, nobody will ask you to come to class on time, nobody will force you to do your assignment or quiz. If you are not a decisive type, kindly start learning it now or
better still, do not come to the university to destroy your future or life.
University is a very sweet place and also a very ugly place, it can shape you into a great person, it can also
reshape or destroy you. This forum have tried to provide you with info on how to go about in the university, we wont tell you how you will live your life there.
Be Careful_And_be_Wise.
Just an advise!
