10 Things To Avoid If You Are After A First Class Degree

When asked most fresh students would declare that they are after a First Class degree, but most times after the end of their second year it would be mathematically clear that a First Class degree is out their reach.

Most times it's not that such a student is unserious or dull but it's the approach used by such a student.
However, the freedom and fun associated with campus life make people view campus as the place to be and they get lost in the fun.

From my campus experience, I have provide a
I have provided a list of things that need to be avoided if you are after a First Class degree.

Though things may seem to be fun, there are things which should be at best avoided.

Engaging In Too Many Activities.

This I know for sure is why most students are suffering in their academics, They are lots of activities that anyone can be involved in on Campus apart from education like sports, music, parties, acting, religion et cetera. The only problem is that you can't do all, though you might literally but it's not advisable to be involved in more than one extra activity because no one can equally balance academic and other activities equally, you can either do one more than the other.
Most people with First Class degrees that I know aren't the people's person, they don't seek fame or try to belong to a particular setting, they won't do things because they want to satisfy people but because they need to.

Not Associating With The Right People.

"Evil communications corrupt good manners". There are a lot of people to meet and mingle with on campus but again you shouldn't be friends with all, because the most insignificant person has a lot effect on you, no matter how you might think that they aren't important.
Make those that share the same goals and ambitions your close friends but don't be too hostile to others because you shouldn't really judge a person from afar.

Going To Classes Late.

This is almost as good as not attending, fine you might get to write your attendance or any other things but I have noticed that anytime I attend a class late it takes me at least 15 minutes to flow with the rest of the class and sometimes I end being totally lost.

Missing Classes.

As much as it is bad to attend classes late, it worse to not even go at all.
This behavior may have devastating consequences since some stuff are best understood when they are only explained by the lecturer. More so, tips may be given on how to handle the course. Don't always have informants that would tell you what's going on in classes but be involved in classes.
In short, you'll miss a lot. If I were you, I'd never miss classes for petty reasons like sleeping, watching movies, hanging out with friends, shopping, attending a party et cetera.
You are a student and a student ought to never miss a class.

Not Asking Questions.

This as killed many students and is still killing most. If you don't understand a particular aspect of any course don't hesitate to ask your Lecturer, Colleagues, seniors or anyone that can help you. You must be inquisitive because you need all the knowledge that you can get and most of the knowledge you would use in life are around you all you need to do is discover them.

Poor Time Management.

You must learn how to manage your time well, don't spend all day having fun or doing things that would have negative effects on your performance. Don't always go to party or church or watch movies et cetera, without reading, remember that your main purpose of being on campus is education and make every second worth it.
You should be able to control your time and avoid doing the next thing on this list, have a time of your own and for others, don't be someone who lives in an unplanned day. I don't want you to live like robots but live like a human who has things to do.

Procrastination.

"Procrastination is the thief of time."
It takes most of our time without us not really knowing, do what you are supposed to do at the right time don't procrastinate for any silly excuse.
Things related to learning are the most procrastinated things among campus students. You know it and we all know it; that most students postpone their studying until the last minute.

This is the time that they pile books over books in order to try and understand all the things which they would have done a while back, which is one of the major causes of under-performance among students.

Not Having A Healthy Lifestyle.

Even if you don't eat three meals a day at least makes sure you eat enough food that can enable your body to carry out your daily task and stay away from all forms of drug abuse, just make sure illness is reasonably far from reaching you.

Not Possessing Self-confidence.

I have never seen a person at the top that does not believe in their own abilities to carry out tasks, they don't rely on others to do their assignments or projects but rather others rely on them and use them to know if they are on the right track. They are sure of whatever they do and are ready to bear the consequences.
