Be a High Flying "Jambite"

Congratulations on your admission to the higher institution.

I am so happy that after WAEC, NECO and one or many sittings for JAMB, you have finally become a "JAMBITE".

But, I want you to know that freedom gained by being far away in school can make you better or get you destroyed.

Haba, how come?

Okay, liberty is sweet, but it can be tempting too, as it makes you lose focus easily.
A good grade after your course starts from the beginning of getting to school.

Let me share with you time-proven guides to help you through school:

• Get first a good place of Worship.
• Choose friends with focus, brains and integrity.
• Get used to being on your own.
• Learn to socialise and build your network.
• Learn how to budget (Allowance will finish without budget o).
• Attend all classes- Impromptu test& attendance taking happens once in a while.
• Take lecture notes at all times as the faintest pencil is better than the best brains.
• Ask questions during classes (No question is stupid)
• Read all lecture notes again on the same day.
• Create a study timetable.
• Study like your life depends on it.
• Stay organised and don't procrastinate.
• Go the extra mile always.
• Buy foodstuffs in bulk and look for cheap market stores.
• Cook more than eat out.
• Be mindful of distractions from your phone

And if you are in school already, you can re-write history by starting to do things right.
