15 THINGS EVERY STUDENT MUST DO BEFORE ASUU STRIKE IS OVER Every Nigerian student who should be in school but is presently at home because of ASUU strike must make use of this strike to their advantage. Rather than allow their destinies to be jeopardized, they can turn this situation around in their own favor. These are 15 things every student must do before the ASUU strike is over. 1. ORGANISE YOUR SCHOOL MATERIALS The best time to get yourself organized for resumption is now that there is still time to play around. Gather up all your scattered school materials and arrange them in a safe place. You do not want to be looking for a textbook or an important school note when school resumes, only to find out that it has been carelessly soiled with oil in the kitchen, or some pages torn away by a sibling. Keep all of your school material in one place so you can easily access them whenever the Almighty ASUU and the Controller Generals of the nation decides to settle their scores, be it political or otherwise. It’s time to do some more important things with your life. 2. CATCH UP ON LOST ACADEMIC WORK If there was any academic related work that you missed while school was still in session, you do not have to wait until school resumes to catch up on them. Use this god-given opportunity (or rather ASUU-FG created opportunity) to your advantage. If you missed a class note, update your notes. Do all the omitted assignments. Write your lab reports. Complete your class projects. Do your team works. Perfect your field exercise. All of this will make you readily prepared for resumption once the strike is called off. 3. ENGAGE IN CONSTANT WEEKLY REVISION Do not just put your academic life on hold for now because of the strike. Constantly engage in revisions. Spread the courses you offer in school over a period of time. Say, if you have registered for eight courses this semester, spread them over eight weeks. This means you will need to study one course per week. So, dedicate at least one day in each week for the study of this course. This way, you likely may be able to cover all your courses before the strike is called off, and you will be in a better academic shape once school resumes. Take advantage of this period to give yourself an academic lift. If every student will do this, this can be their best semester so far. 4. DEVELOP A TALENT If you had ever felt school was boring to you, and that you would have loved to develop an inborn talent, but the enormous challenges of academic work will not allow you devote time to channel your energy towards a god given dream, then you no longer have any excuse. Maximize this period to develop this god given talent and make sure you achieve a part of, if not all of that dream before school resumes. Write that book and publish it. Go to studio with that song and release at least a track, if not the complete album. Produce that video. Join a football club and make a name. Whatever your talent is, do something about it before the strike is over. 5. LEARN A SKILL If you have never thought about a specific talent in your life, you likely may say there is none to develop. That will still not be an excuse for you to waste these precious moments. Go learn a skill. Look for something new to add to your life. Learn a skill that will be relevant to your future. Learn how to drive. Learn how to swim. Learn to make beads. Learn how to sow dresses. Learn hair dressing. Learn event decoration. Learn photography. Learn publishing. If you don’t find something to learn, go learn how to cook (funny as it sounds). Just make sure you learn a skill. 6. DO A PROFESSIONAL COURSE Life is not just about certificates; some professional courses carry much more weight than B.Sc, or at least, add to the weight of your degree. Intentionally go in search of such courses and register for them. They do not cost a fortune. Moreover, it is better than just sleeping and waking and hoping that Uncle GEJ will change his mind very soon about his stand on ASUU demands. Invest your time in a professional course organized by the p
