Oh! Like you had it as teen, you think you will continue to have a rosy life after the four walls of higher institution of learning? Life is never like that.
Sometimes I wished I could returned to my childhood days. The days when everyone in the family stretches and bless us with that thing called money. Days when we eat at freewill. When we don't have to worry about what we will do next. Days when we go to school with extra money after the sumptuous meal in lunchboxes. What a sweet experience!
You can continue recounting how all rosy live was while you were a child, the bitter truth is, you are now a graduate and an adult. Moment when you have to figure out things well so you can give to your unborn children absolutely beautiful life than you recounted earlier.
During undergraduate days, we have been asked the most pathetic questions of life after school like "What are your plans" "What do you want to do when you drop your pen" and so on.
Beyond what you had in classes, here is a list of ways to manage the challenge that comes next.
Foremost, one need to create an anticipation and plan. Try to plan ahead of time. Like the popular saying " he who fails to plan, plan to fail". When you don't make efforts to put things in place to an extent like engage in Extra curricula skills and other, you might have yourself to blame. The mistake most students make while in school is that they tends to neglect the place of getting knowledge outside their area of course of study.
In our present World today, numbers of students are making feat for themselves through the extra activities they do or are into. Some of them are graphic design, copy writing, content writing, video making and editing, photo editing etc.
Categorically, the era of Information Communication Technology, ICT has made everything easy that one can even get all these skills from the comfort of one's home.
Aside these digital skills, there are other life hacks one need to navigate through life. They include: Excellent communication skills, Leadership skill, Human management skill and the likes. You can be extremely brilliant and lack a good communication skills.
Furthermore, engaging in extra curricula skills also means getting vocational knowledge. Never can tell where one breakthrough lies. Having a white collar job is never enough to survive the heat of the present day economy. Possibly, start up a business you can manage in school and even after. This will help you cultivate the habit of saving. No matter how small, save from the little earnings in that business. You might not be lucky to start 'big' after school, so start now!
In addition, the place of good Networking cannot be undermine while in school. This has to do with the ability to relate with other people. Create a social market with them.
