I feel elated writing this particular article because it's something I can relate to or I will say it's what I am currently facing as a student.
I am currently a 500 level student of university of Lagos, Nigeria. The first semester resumed last year October and due to the break we vacated and resumed on the 8th of January, 2024. I am going to be writing about my experiences so far as we resumed back to school.
- ARE YOU A PARENT, STUDENT OR TEACHER? HOW MANY DAYS THIS WEEK DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL? WERE YOU PUNCTUAL ALL THE DAYS OR YOU WERE LATE ON SOME? WHAT HAPPENED?
As a university or college student, we have virtual classes and physical classes, we have classes that are fixed but due to some situations it can be changed or moved to another time. Due to the day I am writing this article, I have attended all my lectures this week, I went to school 3times this week and I am planning to go tomorrow too. A lecture was canceled so I have just one lecture tomorrow.
As for punctuality, I am usually punctual, days that I am late is due to waiting for my friends so we can go together or might be due to me wasting time dressing up and my hostel is about 30mins walk to school.
- WHAT SCHOOL RELATED ACTIVITIES DID YOU ENGAGE IN TO ENSURE THAT YOU, YOUR KIDS OR STUDENTS ENJOY EVERYDAY?
Well, I am a student so to not make my time in school all about just studying, I try to engage in sports, although I am not so good at it but I join the athletes team just to exercise and cool off from the stress of classes. There's also other engagements we have at my faculty like indoor games like table tennis, board games and the likes we currently have one coning up this week.
- THE STRESS YOU FACED DUE TO SCHOOL ACTIVITIES. ARE THEY BURDENSOME OR YOU ENJOY THEM?
As a final year student, I will say this is the most stressed I have ever been. The activities are burdensome from the project, normal school courses are just too much. The requirements to complete your program in the school is much so the workload can be overwhelming at times, never get to get enough rest, always moving from one task to the other and also trying to balance school life with other personal issue can be burdensome.
- WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS FOR THE COMING WEEK AND HOW ARE YOU GOING TO ACHIEVE THEM?
Expectations for the coming week
My expectations by Monday I should have properly done chapter 1 of my project and also finished an assignment. My plan is to start with the assignment on Thursday after classes because it's really broad and I am going to stretch it till Friday and towards evening I can work on my project so that I can use the weekend to read.
- WHY SHOULD YOU NOT MISS ANY SCHOOL DAY?
Why you should not miss any school
Most of my answers will be based on me being in final year. Your last year or final year in school is very crucial, I think missing classes won't help you. It is a period where people need to be serious and focus more and make sure you end well.
Thank you for making it this far in my article, have a lovely week.
