What Next After Admission?

 Having heard of my students and friends who have just gained admission into institutions of higher learning, I felt happy and even wondered how ecstatic they could be right now. 
But it equally came to mind that it isn't all over and that the ecstasy could blind them to the reality of what lies ahead. This was kindled due to the consciousness of the number of students who get it wrong in their first years in school, thus making poor grades.
 
          Therefore I say to you, the struggle isn't over even after scaling through the admission process. The struggle continues, but 'victoria acerta' ( victory is certain) if you desire it. And if you can understand the reason why people fail in institutions of higher learning, and flow against that tide from the onset. I hitherto pinpoint some of these reasons and how you can overcome them. 
  •  Difficult study environment- Look for serene and healthy places where you can have uninterrupted hours of study to yourself. If you've got noisy roomates, learn to study when they are asleep or in class.
  • Truancy- Don't think yourself too smart to always miss classes and feel you can read anytime, understand and make excellent grades.Attending lectures makes you know what your lecturers expect from you.
  •  Lack of motivation-This is predominant among first years who are not studying their course of choice.That notwithstanding, always motivate yourself to do well. Lack of motivation Will definitely cost you your grades. 
  • Poor teachers- It's hard not to admit that some lecturers are poor at imparting knowledge. From their teaching style to their behaviour. But don't let this be a stumbling block, just look for a friend who understands the course and ask for help even while studying very hard. Having looked at the above reasons, I believe first years privy to this information should be more prepared for success. But poor attitudes can be your undoing.This could be poor attitude towards assignments, intention to punish parents, fear of success and procrastination. So, be a positive you, ditch the poor attitudes and get into your groove. Make those wonderful grades, and make your dream.
