FIVE WAYS TO OVERCOME STRESS THIS SEMESTER AS A STUDENT This semester doesn’t have to drain you emotionally or mentally. Stress is one of the silent reasons many students lose focus, motivation, and grades. The good news? It can be managed both intentionally and wisely. Here are 5 practical ways to overcome stress this semester 👇 See how to apply them and protect your peace while chasing excellence. 📌 Plan your week before stress plans you: When you don’t plan, everything feels urgent. A simple weekly timetable reduces pressure and gives your brain peace. Be a student that plan and not always scattered. Learn to coordinate your life. 📌Study daily, not desperately: Stress increases when you postpone reading. Small, consistent study sessions beat last-minute cramming every time. It seems you can't do it but, start small and you will be glad you did. 📌Protect your sleep and rest: You can’t think clearly on exhaustion. Adequate sleep is not laziness; it’s academic strategy. 📌Set boundaries with people and distractions: Not every call, outing, or conversation deserves your time this semester. Say no to protect your focus. Finally, 📌Talk it out and pray it out: Yesss! Don’t bottle everything in. Share with a trusted person, journal your thoughts, and commit your worries to God.

In school, take on leadership roles — but steer them toward purpose. This is especially important if you’re aiming for competitive scholarships or elite internships. There are two types of leadership: 1. Positional leadership 2. Transformative leadership Positional leadership is tied to a title. Transformative leadership is tied to impact. Scenario 1: I once served as a Student Union Leader — chairing meetings, coordinating committees, handling disputes. That is positional. Scenario 2: In 2019, I noticed something deeper: students from low-income backgrounds were quietly struggling with the rising transport fares on campus. Attendance was dropping. Morale was low. Many students were choosing between missing class and overspending. So I leveraged my relationships with the transport unit and the university’s Vice-Chancellor to negotiate a price ceiling for student transport. This change reduced average transport expenses by about 30% and helped ease the daily burden for hundreds of students. Our follow-up survey showed improved attendance, better morale, and more consistent study routines. That is transformative leadership. What is the difference between the two kinds? Let me know in the comment section. And yes, you can turn positional leadership into transformative leadership. And yes, you don’t need a title at all to be transformative. Your competition will be set against the eagles. Act like someone that understands that.

Here's How To Start Branding Yourself As A Student. Many students are walking around campus with vibes, exam stress and indomie energy, but zero personal brand. Meanwhile, your future employer is somewhere scrolling through LinkedIn like, “Who can I trust with this opportunity?” And you? You’re posting ‘outside tonight’ and shouting “God when”. 😭 Or are you saying: "I'll cross that bridge when I reach there😒" Toor. Let’s fix it now. Here are simple ways to start branding yourself, even as a student: no pressure, no ring light, no tripod, nothing. 1️⃣ Pick ONE thing you want to be known for. Not five. Not seven. Just one. 📌 “Future Pharmacist Pen” (already taken sha 😌) 📌 “Public Health storyteller” 📌 “Campus tech guy” 📌 “Makeup artist who saves students’ pockets” Your brand starts when people can say: “That’s the person that does…” If they can’t complete that sentence, your branding hasn’t started. 2️⃣ Start sharing the SMALL things you already know. People think branding is dropping TED Talks. No. It’s simply showing what you’re learning. Examples: “What I learned today in Biopharmaceutics…” “A study tip that helped me survive this week…” “A funny mistake I made during practicals…” “How I improved my makeup game this semester…” Consistency beats perfection, every time. 3️⃣ Clean your social media like someone expecting visitors. Your bio should not look like: “📍ABSU | ❤️Jesus baby | 🤪 Born to be wild | ✨Small girl big God.” Ah ah! My dear, what should people follow you for? Fix it: ✔ Pharmacy student | Future clinical pharmacist ✔ Public health advocate ✔ Content creator sharing study, career & lifestyle tips That’s a brand. Simple and clean. 4️⃣ Your DP matters. You can't be shouting “personal brand!” But your profile picture looks like someone hiding from EFCC. Pick a clear, friendly, confident photo, that’s your first impression, and that's what people trust. 5️⃣ Start showing your growth journey, not perfection. People don’t fall in love with “experts.” They fall in love with students becoming experts. Post things like: ✅Your struggles ✅Your small wins ✅What you learned ✅What you failed at and corrected ✅Behind-the-scenes of your daily grind That's what builds connection, and connection builds brand loyalty. 6️⃣ Network like someone that wants to leave Nigeria eventually. Reply comments. Talk to seniors. Engage other creators. Connect with lecturers with sense. Build your circle before you need your circle. 7️⃣ Be consistent even if your procrastination spirit is fighting you. You don’t need to post daily. Just show up enough for people to trust your presence. Remember: You are your biggest project. And people are watching you more than you think. If you start today, you won’t recognize yourself in 6 months. Branding isn’t just for influencers. It’s for students who want to stand out. Students who want opportunities. Students who want visibility. Students who want to matter. And that student can be YOU.
