For other students, it may lie in the fact that they have no access
to resources that can enable them to complete their daily
tasks. This can include resources such as food, books or transport
fees etc. This may increase stress levels and anxiety.
Fortunately, one can overcome these unfavourable circumstances.
It is possible. We all have to.
For those who did, numerous lessons
were learnt. These include great time
management skills. People who succeed
at university, have remarkable
time management skills.
This is because they now know where
exactly the door to the room of improvement
is and it becomes easier
for them to open that door. Additionally,
they develop another remarkable
skill of working under extreme pressure
which allows them to thrive in
unfavourable circumstances leading
to them successfully completing their
tasks.
The mantra is: focus on
what is important, not what is urgent.
To conclude, university can deliver a tried and tested student
who has gone through dust and has had to swim in deeper
oceans in order to achieve their goals. University is indeed a
wonderful experience that can come along with its share of
thorns and cuts. Be ready, be prepared.
