MONTHLY RECAP; LOOKING BACK AT SEPTEMBER

Happy new month guys!

Its October already, we thank God for life. I know this is coming a bit late, I fell ill but I am strong now in Jesus name. (Amen)

In September, there were good times and bad times as usual. I was diagnosed with an ailment, still praying to God for divine healing. I have always loved Art but last month I drew my 2^nd cartoon Character which I’ll blog about soon. I had a lot of opportunities to make Chinese friends this past month, I met a lot of them and I don't know who to choose. It's good I am getting out there and meeting new people.

  
  

ACHIEVEMENTS:

·       I started a study group and it is more beneficial than I thought. I am understanding a lot more of wh.

·       I finally created a Channel art for my YouTube channel.

   

I am hoping and working towards greater achievements in October.

MY QUOTE OF THE MONTH:

“If you get tired learn to rest, not to quit.”- Random

TRAVEL:

Nowhere!

YOUTUBE UPDATE:

Currently have 84 subscribers.

I made a Medical student tag video which simply involved me answering questions about my life in medical school and I also recommended the video to other medical school youtubers so they can also share their experiences about med school.

LUNCH DATE IN CHINA DURING "BUHARI" SEASON

Hello guys!

One way or the other this Buhari season is affecting us. I am really lucky to be in china and most especially my city because the cost of living is low and student friendly.

 In this period of “Buharia” I have reduced my spending to match the Nigerian economy but I am still able to eat good food when I go out at a low price and I am so glad.

I may not be able to particularly tell you the content of my plate but it was a good meal.

I think this food is decent enough for a date and at a price of about 700 Naira, 15 Chinese Yuan.

In my August month recap here I stated out some goals for September which involved reducing the rate at which I eat out and I am really achieving that. This food was eaten in August so I am safe. I hope our economy gets better and I will continue to pray for Nigeria.

Do you think this meal is decent enough for a date?

What can 700 Naira buy you on a date in Nigeria right now?

Thanks for reading!

MONTHLY RECAP || LOOKING BACK AT AUGUST

Happy new month guys!

Thank God for bringing us to September 2016. Fast isn't it?

I decided to start a monthly recap on the blog sharing my favourites in the past month, lessons all other little things. I hope you enjoy this new section. Let’s get to it.

ACHIEVEMENTS:

·       I invested some money into buying some money into buying hair extensions to gain extra cash in school.

·       I finally bought a tripod. (You don’t want to know about my handmade tripod).

·       Mom gave me a 2016 year planner. (I know its kind of late to be getting a 2016 year planner but it is a good start towards organizing my life).

I am hoping and working towards greater achievements in September.

MY QUOTE OF THE MONTH:

“It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.”- Steve Jobs

TRAVEL:

I travelled to Nigeria in august and stayed home for half of august.

I also travelled to Benin Republic for my older brother’s convocation in a night bus and it was my first time travelling in a night bus. I vlogged my experiences. If you haven’t watched it, then you should and don’t forget to give it a thumbs up and subscribe to my YouTube channel.

I also travelled back to China. It was a very stressful journey and I had 15 hours transit at Ataturk international airport, Istanbul.

YOUTUBE UPDATE:

Currently have 72 subscribers.

I am working on improving my channel with some new tips I learnt.

Never miss an upload. Subscribe if you haven’t.

BOOKS READ:

I made a post here about 10 books I was reading that can change your life for good. To be honest guys, I wasn’t able to read all. I read only one. *embarrassed face.

·       Good leaders ask great questions by John C. Maxwell.

Also reading my Bible more often and hope to create a special connection with God for without him I am nothing.

August was good month I received a wish bone chain as a friendship chain from a friend whom I never thought I meant that much to. Thank you Ezra!

GOALS FOR SEPTEMBER:

·       To be more consistent on my blog and YouTube channel.

·       To develop an everyday study habit.

·       To move into an apartment.

·       To eat more of self cooked food than buying food outside. (It saves money and reduces the risks of getting sick from eating unhealthy and unclean food.)

           How was your august?

       Any special goals and plans for September?

What do you think about the monthly recap?

Is there anything you want me to add to the recap?

2nd WEEK OF SCHOOL, TIRED ALREADY || NEW SEMESTER FAILED RESOLUTIONS || STUDENTS BLOCK

Hello Lovelies!

Before a new school year or semester begins we always have new semester resolutions that most of start breaking on the first day of school.

We want to start studying from the first day school, want to create a study timetable and follow it and want to stop waiting till exam period before we start studying and many more resolutions. I am guilty of all these. But what really stops us from doing these?

Where does the motivation go when school actually begins?

It is the 2^nd week of school and I am already getting sleepy in class, getting bored and easily distracted. I know it’s too early.

You would say as a medical student I need to be active, study very often, listen in class. But we all have this moment right? Or am I alone?

I cannot blame the weather or my teachers because I know the problem is from me. Blaming anyone or anything is just looking for excuses.

Do you have any advice for me during these unmotivated times?

Do you also have times like this in school? If yes how did you handle these times?

Let’s interact and find ways to get rid of this laziness.

 Drop your comments.

10 BOOKS I AM READING NOW THAT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR GOOD. DO YOU WANT ME TO REVIEW ANYONE?

Hello friends!

I hope you are doing well. I have always loved motivating people and help improve the lives of people and myself so I went to my father’s library and selected 17 books which I would love to read before my holiday is over.  I screened the books to a more realistic number so it is now 10 books.

I selected these books based on Good content, easiness to read, Good Font. I also screened these books on their ability to relate with the reader.

 Three of these books are written by John C. Maxwell and one with a foreword by him.  His books have very high ability to relate and maintain a communication with the reader and so do the other books.  These books also contain quality questions for its readers to stimulate creative thinking amongst them.

If there is any of these books you would like me to give a detailed review of, please leave the name of the book in the comment section and I will gladly do.

I have selected

3 books on Public speaking

3 books on leadership

2 books on starting up a Business  

2 books on team work.

We should always desire to improve ourselves anyway we can.

IF A MAN EMPTIES HIS PURSE INTO HIS HEAD, NO MAN CAN TAKE IT AWAY FROM HIM; AN INVESTMENT IN KNOWLEDGE ALWAYS PAYS THE BEST INTEREST- BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

Are there any book recommendations you have for me? Leave their names in the comment section.

Thanks for reading.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR EXAMS; MY TOP 5 TIPS

Hello lovelies!

It is that time of the year again. “Exam period” If you have already written your finals then you can use this to prepare for your next examinations but if you are still preparing like me, I hope these help you. These are my basic tips for preparing for my exams.

v Know what reading method works for you and stick with it. Some people understand better in a quiet place, some by taking notes, some by being asked questions and various other ways.

v Create a detailed study timetable and stick to it. When making the time table, include all your minor daily activities like laundry, meals, shopping etc. Everything should be scheduled so you have enough time to study without distractions.

v A lot of us complain about lacking motivation to study. I advice you study with friends sometimes. Not just any friend but the type that are willing to learn so they can drag you up on your lazy days. 

v Teach others. Be willing to teach others what you have already studied. It helps you understand better and can also be corrected if you are wrong or if you left out a point.

vDon’t be over confident. If you don’t study, you won’t pass. Study in details, don’t try to predict the questions and only choose a part to study. Always remember that while you are sleeping, other people are studying.

If these were useful to you, be sure to leave a comment and share with others.

Thanks for reading.
