What Should You Do When Life Attempts to Bring You Down?

I realize that life isn't always nice; there will be days when everything seems to be going well and days when it seems the world is conspiring against you. This happens to me often; you are not alone in this situation. 


A friend once told me that it's acceptable to be unsure about what you want to achieve in life and that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Therefore, when life tries to knock you down, remember the following:


What do you like doing in your leisure time? What are your core values and beliefs? Understanding your hobbies and convictions may assist you in regaining focus. Don't be afraid to try new things and discover what you like. This might include anything in your subject of interest.


Look for mentors or advisors who can provide guidance and assistance. They may have helpful ideas and experiences to share. Trying to imagine your whole future at once might be overwhelming. Instead, try focusing on little steps that will help you improve. Setting short-term goals or doing little projects to gain new skills and experiences are examples of this. It's okay to take your time and not have all the answers right now. It's a process, so be patient with yourself.


I hope this will help you whenever life tries to make you unhappy.

Exploring the Health Benefits of Fura and Nono

Image
Together with my friends enjoying fura and nono at WREE ABU Zaria Fura and nono is a traditional West African food drink made by the Fulani and Hausa tribes of Northern Nigeria. It offers several health benefits that many people are not aware of. It is a delightful and healthy treat consisting of fermented cow's milk (nono) with millet or sorghum dough (fura). When combined, the two provide a well-balanced amount of energy and critical nutrients, making them a perfect meal at any time of day. Fura is usually produced from millet or sorghum, depending on the maker's preference. The grains are thoroughly washed and skinned before being ground into flour with spices such as cloves, ginger, and dried pepper. The flour is then combined with water to form a dough, which is cooked and pounded with a pestle and mortar until sticky before being shaped into small balls. To protect the balls from drying out, they are dusted with leftover millet flour. Furthermore, fura, which ...

How My First True Love Story Ended

Image
Myself 🤨 The day had been long and stressful. I got back to the hostel at 6 p.m., weary from lectures. Suleiman Hall in ABU Zaria is often congested in the evenings with students trudging to their rooms, mosque, or toilet. I can't remember the date, but the hostel was as noisy as usual when I entered. The noise level was high, with music blaring from some rooms and laughter and conversation echoing down the corridors. My room was on the second floor of block F4, but that day I chose to go to my friend's room, which is on the ground floor to perform ablution and pray the Maghrib Prayer. When I walked into the room, all of the kettles were taken. I had to wait for someone before I prayed. My phone rang as I was waiting for my turn. I answered the phone, and an unknown woman's voice on the other end greeted me. "Please, is this Adamu?" she inquired. "Yes, who is this?" I replied quickly. She went on to say that her friend gave her my phone numb...

An Overview of My NYSC Experience: What You Should Know

Image
Established in 1973, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) aimed to facilitate national integration after Nigeria suffered from a civil war that spanned from 1967-1970. The scheme's objectives were straightforward: to “reconcile, reconstruct, rehabilitate” and mend the lines of divide and distrust among Nigerians. Furthermore, the scheme aimed to instill discipline, a genuine sense of patriotism, and personal development in the youth service corps. Tertiary institution graduates below the age of 30 are the eligible candidates who are mobilized in batches A, B, and C, as well as Streams I & II, to undergo this tasking journey. They are then deployed across the six geopolitical zones of the country to undergo a three-week on-camp orientation followed by a one-year national service.  Arriving at the Orientation Camp Upon arriving at the Kaduna State temporary orientation camp, Government College, Kurmin Mashi, at sunset, I was greeted by different security officials ...
