AS YOU GO FORTH!

AS YOU GO FORTH!
Yvonne BALOGUN[1]

Hi there, what were you thinking when you saw the topic, “As you go forth…? Am sure in your mind, you have concluded this piece is for the graduating students. However, to clear every doubt, this very wonderful article is actually for the general house i.e the students going home for holidays after the hectic stressful and energy-draining examination.
After several days of strenuous reading and in some circumstances crash-reading, we have finally come to the end of examinations for 2011/2012 session and normally, the  first impulse of most students is to rest, eat and watch films but after a week of that, my dear, WHAT NEXT?  It’s true the stress of the examinations might make you feel like you should take all the rest in the World but I tell you today, you should also do something notable and worthwhile.
The holiday is a time to rest truthfully but you as a student who sees beyond the now and look forward to the future should also be productive:
INTERNSHIP: This is one of the things you can do to keep yourself not just busy but also productive. Interning in your field of study gives you an edge over your colleagues and makes you astounding.
VOCATIONAL TRAINING: This is also a platform that brings out the creative and innovative part of you. Engaging in this gives you an extra-skill that sets you apart from the masses.
In doing any of this, keep in mind that you are headed for a great place that watching film all day long will not take you.
In addition to the above mentioned, try and get some materials from your senior colleagues in preparation for your next session as it will enable you understand more in course or topic (that is if you read those materials). In all, have a wonderful, lovely and productive holiday, CIAO!
