MY UNIVERSITY TO-DO LIST

 Author: The Lady Ajala

Coming to college, I had lots of beautiful expectations mostly inspired by TV shows and all that. Now, if you're like me who had seen the series “Grown-ish” during high school, you'd agree that the realization hits differently. So many things weren't adding up as I expected. 

University is a very busy period of our lives, from trying to build our GPA to trying to stay sane and healthy especially here on the OAU campus. You might forget to live a little. Here are some things you might want to do in college before graduating:

• Take a walk around campus

The first thing you want to do is to take a walk around campus just to get acquainted with your surroundings and get to mark the most aesthetically pleasing area for your uni pictures.

• Stay on campus for at least a year.

To actually experience campus life, you have to live in school hostel at least for a year or more. A little “shege” to make your skin tough.

• Join a club 

It is a great opportunity to make new friends with shared interests and also, pursue your passion outside the lecture room.

• Volunteer 

You never know all you can do until you're challenged. This is a great way of discovering other skills you're yet to know about yourself.

• Pull an all-nighter

This is one of the least fun activities cause it is so exhausting but pulling an all-nighter might actually save you from failing a course. It is better done with your friends around to make it a little fun. How do you explain you came to uni without pulling an all-nighter?

• Make a mark on campus 

Find a way to make a mark on campus, it could be writing your name in a location. You come back in five years or more, look for it and that nostalgic feeling will rush back at you.

• Go out with friends

Find time to go out and enjoy with your friends. Have a good time, school can be overwhelming but these are the things you'll reminisce on later after Uni. 

• Take pictures 

I can't stress this enough, you don't want to graduate and have nothing to look back to! Take goofy pictures in iconic places on campus.

• Shoot your shot!

We'll not all find our one true love in uni but you'll never know until you try. What's the worst that could happen really?

• Attend shows on campus with your friends 

Exciting shows on campus might be the perfect break you need from overwhelming school activities. A little unwinding with friends will bang.

Finally, create your personal bucket list and make your uni experience personal. Enjoy it at your best! You'll remember this from time to time, make it a memorable one!
