Being in university is the most awesome stage in life; it is
the time you get full freedom controlling your life. University is the point
where most of us 'experience life’, the time where people get exposed. Don’t be
shocked to see a first year you saw wearing 'Cinderella’ dress now wearing rugged
jeans and a crop top. This is the time boys know all kind of 'stimulants'.
Even though university gives us all these privileges, they
all come at a cost; mostly when you are a boy, girls can get a little help from
here and there, because you don't want to disappoint your friends and
reputation. Some of us tend to spend more on lifestyle, expensive phones,
laptops and always having parties. Well, I am not saying that all these are bad
but we need some life hacks to make things move smoothly.
Here are some;
<!--[if !supportLists]-->1.
<!--[endif]-->Make good use of free internet provided by
school.
So many institutions have eduroam, a free network that any
student can use when in school although most of hostels don't get this coverage.
When in school you can have sometime browsing internet within learning areas
and try to avoid the internet while in hostels as this will force you to buy
the extra internet bundles which can be expensive for a campus student.
2. Combine breakfast and lunch
Let’s say you have a class at 1pm; no need of getting lunch
and breakfast separately I choose to get heavy breakfast which also acts as lunch
therefore saving some money.
3. Avoid unnecessary dates especially pizza dates
Dates are good and most university students are familiar
with this especially at the pizzerias in Nairobi. Pizzas are super-expensive
but if you can afford, go for it. Unfortunately, most of the students impress
their female dates by this and later start hustling ways to get money; be
smart.
4. Enjoy life with moderation.
Once in a while it’s good to enjoy yourselves by going out
to clubs and have some drinks but not making it a routine. Some things we watch
online are done by celebs that obviously have money. Learn to budget before
feeling like one of your hip hop artist.
Make university life as easy as possible while enjoying every bit of it.
