Hello guys! It's really been awhile since I last made a post and I'm more than glad to be here again, to share my little achievements and experience including the not so pleasant ones. I am glad that I was able to find a way to cope with the frustrating situation affecting students of federal Universities in my country.
First, the Academic Staff Union of Federal Universities have been on strike for 5 months now due to some disagreements between their Union and the Federal government, and students in the affected Universities are unable continue their academic activities because of that( Strike action, also called labor strike, or simply strike, is a work stoppage, caused by the mass refusal of employees to work. A strike usually takes place in response to employee grievances)
I am also one of the affected students who has lost 5 months of their academic year. It's really been tough finding and developing a niche especially when all the sudden happenings are not part of your wonderfully planned future. Fortunately, I learnt to find my way around things by try out and learning lots of things I didn't know how to do before or things I haven't tried in a long time. So, I made a bucket list and I've been able to achieve most of them, two of which I wish to share my progress so far.
First is tie-dye:- although, I learnt tie-dye in school as one of the entrepreneur studies I didn't really have the time to produce some works after I got into the University due to academic activities. So during this long break, I've been able to produce some beautiful works and I'm working towards perfection.
I also tried making liquid soap for a change. Actually I never really learnt it from anyone or anywhere, but I was able to with the help of YouTube tutorials☺️ and I did so well for a start, I hope to get better.
I've also been learning other skills and I won't forget to fill you in when I make remarkable progress.
So, if you ever feel like you are whiling away your time due to circumstances beyond your control, try making and following a bucket list of some productive things you really want to do or learn, preferably a skill. Trust me, it really helps. Thank me later 💕
