SAY THAT PROBLEM
Lately I've been struggling with so many things, even things that I shouldn't be struggling with but I guess that's Life for me, always filled with troubles. Problems are part of humanity, in fact it is a bit absurd to go a day without having any problem or solving any problem. We wake up each day to face a problem and sometimes these problems may end up being so overwhelming that we just feel like giving up is the only way out of it.
I have quite a lot of things that are bothering me, getting this opportunity to talk about my major problem feels really heartwarming. I might not get a solution to my problem all at once but I always believe that with every passing day, I understand things better and they most also get better too. In less than two months ago, my major problem was getting admission into the higher institution and now that has happened (I've gotten the admission) but somehow I still feel like I'm not prepared and that is my major problem now.
I don't know if it's because I have taken so long at home and it feels a bit hard to get my new life all planned out. I'm not sure of how to go about literally everything as I want to further my education. This might be happening because I don't really have anyone sitting me down to tell me all I need to know about how things are done in the university. I've been told to start my online clearance but then I need a few documents which should have already been made available but this is the time I'm trying to get them because I wasn't well informed.
There are others that I know of that are already almost done with their online clearance and now it feels like I'm all alone. Of course I do need money for so many things right now as regards my admission into the university and I'm a bit confident because I've got Hive. Hive has been quite Instrumental in helping me foot the bills without having any fears.
Right now I'm trying as much as I can to stay consistent with my contents on Hive because I know there is definitely going to come a time when my activities will reduce due to my schooling schedule. My network provider has also been one of my problems lately because I spend too much time on some things than I should because of how unreceptive the network provider is.
Due to the fact that in less than one month from now I'd be off and on here on hive, I have decided to stay active a bit but it hasn't been really easy for me. The network has been really frustrating and just keeps adding to my problems. I know how much I can achieve if only my network was swift but that seems like a myth these days. I keep trying my best to always look for a way around everything and I'd say so far God has been merciful.
I just hope I get acquainted with how things are done during and after getting my clearance done and I also hope and pray none of my documents gives me any challenge to acquire them. I know it's just a temporary problem and solutions will definitely come so I'd be more patient with everything and keep seeking for advice from others so my problems will be lighter to bear.
This is my response to the Hivelearners community topic "WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM".
Congratulations on your admission into the Universityđ.
Try to connect with people who are already in that school (freshers or staylite) so you would be guided on what to do especially your documents for clearance.
First thing is your mind, prepare your mind that
you are going somewhere you've not been
you'd start doing things you were not accustomed to
you no longer have the about 10 hours out of 24hours for yourself (depending on the time of lectures in your Uni)
get to pay some many unexpected bills
meet different people from different backgrounds, with different belief, social life, passion for education etc.
Being a student in Nigeria University (mostly government owned) is stresful.
Start reading from day one of lecture and it'd be easier to revise when examination is very close.
Read to know first then to pass.
Make good, faithful and godly friends.
Some say school is a scam. Find great minds and connect with like minded who will add value to you and make you greater person in school and when you graduate.
If you are christian, get a fellowship to attend immidiately you get to school and stay commited ( they are enough things to make one backslide as a Christian in Universities these day )
I think these are the ones I can tell you for now (I know I sounded like a parent at some pointđđ). I hope these one help you.
You will be fine hmmm? I hope to see and read your post about how nice, stressful and fun school isđ.
Wow, I will take another good time to go through this, ahh!!! đđ„°
Thank you so much, I don't want to even imagine how many times you deleted and added some things before finally sending this, I'm really grateful đ„°.
Well, I was just writing as they were coming to my head. You are welcomeđ€đ€
Hey, Hope. First off, remember to check your taps oo. Always check before you go to bed.đ
Okay. Letâs get right to it.
Yes, you are right, Hope. Human beings are bound to experience problems. It is part of our existence. As humans, it is important to understand this concept and also to know how to go about it.
Hope, Iâm pretty sure you agree with me that your admission is a good thing. Congratulations again. It is okay for you to be worried, but I assure you that youâll figure everything out.
The first step to this is to channel your mindset. Donât let negativity swallow you up when youâve not even started. Youâve got this, Hope. Youâve got this!
Congratulations!
As you begin this new phase of your life, you'll definitely feel out of sorts. I felt that way too.
But it's all okay as long as you know what your mind is set on and you work towards it.
