You have to start thinking!!

Let's make something clear,"students think". Infact,students think a lot,about money,about drinks,about parties,about the opposite sex and so on but most importantly students think about their about lives after school,which is good,the bad about it is that its majorly unrealistic thoughts like "hey,am finally in 100 level studying economics in kogi state university,and I'll graduate in 4 years time,then go and serve,probably do some phd and masters thingy then get a job and the rest money". That's so unrealistic that its makes wwe wrestling is more real. Its plain garbage thought you need to start getting out of your head. This life isn't hollywood,and when you're born into one hell of a country like Nigeria you need to wise up and start thinking with your "brain". If you can take your time and look outside your window to see millions of graduates roaming about the streets you'll probably understand that its not as easy as you think it is,if it was that easy your parents and your friends parents and all parents in nigeria will be multi billionaires,not needing to send you to school self. Life isn't easy,and nigeria is making life even harder for nigerians,the labour market is so choked up,it will take extra power for an angel to pass through. There is hardship in every corner of the country and the earlier you realise this things,the better for you. So instead partying and smiling all around school why don't you sit yourself down and not only think logically but also plan logically. This topics might get you onto the right path:
 - First and foremost you need to realise you only have one life to live,every circumstance you find yourself will most definitely come once,you don't go to primary school twice,well,except you're going there the second time to teach or something. My point is,in every situation you find yourself you have to try hard in making the best outta that situation,if you don't succeed its okay,atleast you tried.
 - Ask yourself questions,like why are they few rich people in the country,what can I do to get there,what are my potentials,what are my weaknesses. You have tons of questions you should start asking yourself. - You need to start tasking yourself. Are too young to make money ?? I mean,they are loads of unemployed graduate out there who still depend on their parents. I know you don't want to belong in that category when you're done with school. You need to know what you have to do to make that money so you'll only have to depend on yourself alone. God has given you a talent,why don't you discover it and start using it to make money now. Their are tons of things you can do as an undergraduate that can cough out money for you,you just need to think and plan on how to strike a balance between your academics and what you're doing. Its not how petty the job is or how little you're earning. Its about knowing for a fact that you can do something to improve your situation. A lot of ond,hnd, bsc,phd holders out there(those certs are a common thing nowadays),some even have all those certs with them at the moment but have nothing to show for it because they failed to realise that school is not about learning on how to work for a boss,its also about how to develop yourself to being your own boss.
 - You need to stop thinking about your future and know that the future you are thinking of is "NOW". You have to start thinking and planing logically from now on. - You need to start encouraging yourself to do things that'll make you big. Forget where you are now,it doesn't matter,its where you're going to be when its all said and done that matters. Forget the fact that you stay in dagana or you stay in one shady place around ksu,and your fellow mates stay in billionaires lodge or exquisite lodge(its probably not their money anyways),it doesn't matter,what matters is you formulating a plan that will change your situation when four years is done and dusted. 
- All in all you have to think of doing only what's necessary to get that money,not whats good or bad,not something people like or what they don't like,not what brings shame to you or doesn't bring shame to you,you don't have to care what people think about you,cause at the end of it all its you and only you that matters. Remember,doing whats good or bad set people apart from eachother,but doing what's necessary sets people above their equals. Noboday remembers the disgusting or not disgusting things dangote has done in the past,cause it was necessary to get him to where he is now,"the richest man in africa".
