How My Distraction Led Me To A Higher CGPA

  Am I a Cabin Biscuit…? So, I had a thing for Dr. Stare (pseudonym) We all have that friend who gets excited about the weirdest things and finds amazement in the little things. Wait let me give examples; she will sit and meticulously watch kids create paper toys with deep admiration, she has an indescribable attraction to deep intelligence and excellence, and your choice of vocabulary around her lands you in the classification of ‘Friend able’ and ‘The Others’, astonishingly she says “It is not about the sophisticated choice of words but about the uncommon use of words”. The round-up is that this friend is weird but you love them anyway. Yep! That’s me. It turns out I have some similarities with your friend and I have opened with this to gist you about Dr. Stare my 300-level lecturer. I’ve been described severally as a hopeless romantic. That is, my condition when it comes to romance is ghastly hopeless, there’s literally no hope for hope. I fall anyhow, anytime, and with anyt...

MY UNIVERSITY STORY (PART 1) - I WAS ALMOST ASKED TO DROPOUT

My friend and I Molawa attended Uni together and to this day we will always chat about the difficult times we had at Uni I will briefly share one of such difficult times with you in this short article. To start with, we attended one of the Ivy League private Unis in the country so there were a lot of demands; socially, academically, morally, spiritually, economically, and all other types of ‘allies’.  Despite all the pressures and distractions our major pain point like with any real university student was achieving good grades at the end of every semester, and this was a big struggle for us, not because our course of study was difficult like Physics or any type of engineering, neither is it in the same difficulty level as Economics or Accounting or Business Administration.

  Hi there, I'm Babafemi, an Industrial Physics 3rd-year student, and like you, I dread examinations. The wicked anxiety I feel before and after each exam makes examination time my least favorite time in school. This anxiety often affected my performance at least until I discovered the solution that worked for me last semester I call it the PQCS, short for Past Questions, Community, and Scheduling. This is how it works; I practice a lot of past questions and sometimes simulate examination situations by adhering to a strict start and finish time. I connect with a community of students and subject experts to share relevant information about each subject and finally, I subscribe to an intelligent individual and group study schedule this means that I study at my peak time with little or no distractions.   I honestly feel better about exams, but they are still my least favorite school activities.   I wish everyone having exams all the best... be relaxed it’s never th...
