RE: Behind The Scene, University Life

in Hive Naija10 months ago

Are you good at school? I know university can be stressful but also interesting as the environment sometimes vary from our experience in High School. At least in my hometown HS and College/Uni is very strikingly different.

Sort:  

Yahh hears college/uni over there is hell most dont border going .

Mine didnt give me headache at all

Really? Actually college is way more exciting than high school as you get to do trips, be more independent, access more resources. For example I had to go to the city center and meet with ex-alumni at their companies and learn from real office life as well as get explained how the business works.
I also gave many presentations and pitch different business models for business ideas. Outside of the academic part, my school had a beach and we had cookouts and foam parties and sailing competitions. Lots of interesting activities to have fun.
I remember going to the library basement when there was like a bar/coffee place and take naps on the couch while watching TechTV which was my favorite show about computer and technology products.
That said, I think most kids should save the money to college and take online classes on platforms like Coursera and or in Spanish there is one called Platzi.

Hmmm but i think if they take online classes they will miss out the real life experience of college and tend to make some awkward mistakes in life. I just think men there is no experience better than going to college

That's the point, a lot of time and money is wasted in college. Obsolete education, expensive at most, and the most expensive resource, time, won't be recovered.
You can get updated education, at a fraction of the cost at a fraction of the time. This will give you more competitiveness and reward you with a good paycheck to have all the social life you need. Is not like employees don't have social lives. You can still go to clubs and gyms and meet people like anyone else.
Is not like you didn't had friends in high school or can get new ones at church, cooking classes or any other activity people do in groups.

Hmmmm well that might be a good idea

Yes, we need better thinkers, doers and people that can move in the digital world. I would say the problem is the opposite, too many people are growing up without the tools of interaction and networking skills online.
I have personally met people that where open in real life, but complete incells online. They couldn't connect with a community. They were professional lurkers, not being able to construct a phrase on a discord or telegram channel. Completely terrified of being judge even if they were aware, they were just a nickname and an avatar.
I wouldn't have believe it if someone would have told me about it, but I was there and saw it.
