STAYING ON TRACK

          


     Gradually, we are almost approaching the end of the lecture weeks, as today marks the beginning of the sixth week of the eleven weeks of lecture. Lecture slides are piling up, deadlines for assignments are approaching, and for the finalists—unwritten chapters of research work remain. How has your academic comeback journey been?

     If there is one thing the second semester of every session in the University of Ibadan is known for, it would be the lineup of events during this period. From the Almighty Jaw War, to various faculty and departmental weeks, to dinners, elections, organizational programs, and many other activities.

     As commendable as it is to engage in activities beyond the four walls of the lecture room, it should not be at the detriment of your primary goal—consciously making efforts toward bagging a degree. These activities should be managed, so that one does not disturb the other.

     We all have different levels of multitasking ability. At this stage, you should know the extent to which you can multitask, and how involvement in these activities may or may not affect your main goal on campus.

     Set your priorities right! It is never too late to start making conscious efforts, to smash your academic comeback goals. You have got this!
