Things I’m Glad I Knew Before Graduating

Things I'm glad I knew before graduating

Oluwatobi Oso

Call me "Oso Tee" or "OS" if you like😉, I'm fine with it ...I'm a doctorate student of the University of Ibadan, with a specialty in Plant Anatomy, and Botanical Digitization, but that's just a single story. I'm passionate about the personal development of young people like me ...in values, academics, business, and relationships. My passion is fueled by years of volunteering and working with young people, and running a few startups and businesses. All I want is to see us make lasting impacts and achieve great things wherever we find ourselves in life ...And lest I forget, four words keep me going ...With God, I Can!

    Awesome!
    I have quite a lot to say in concurrence but don’t know how to say it. I’d just act them instead.
    Really good read. Well done sir.

    • Now I’m curious …As much as I wish you’d highligh what you have to say, I’m glad whatever it’d be in concurrence. University is such microcosm to learn a lot to help in the outside world

    This is great! I realised more things I didn’t know I had learnt before graduating five years ago. I finally found my niche! It didn’t look like it at all but I enjoyed every day of the process. Thank you for being my catalyst😊

    • Actually, yes. There’s a lot more to say, just like Manny said above. I’m glad you found your niche and are growing in it. I’m also grateful to you for being part of the learning process

    This is so powerful and well said sir.
    As funny as it maybe, my participation in the departmental press helped me to learn more vocabulary, so much It helped me score high in UI’s English proficiency test… I am not sure if I would miss any of the vocabulary or maybe just 1 or 2.
    Secondly, Maybe my ability to multi task is just inherent before my university education, but my university education unveiled that great potential of multitasking in me because I successfully multi tasked and still didn’t do bad in my first degree and the multi tasking is still helping me to survive…
    There are so many things I can relate but these two points is amazingly helping my life.

    Wow…….. For weeks now, I have been postponing reading your posts. Well, I just did and I’m glad……. very glad.
    Let me just add that indeed there are a whole lot of things you find yourself doing and you don’t know why – I used to design (sketch) clothes in a jotter. I had a jotter for that. I never pursued nor thought of it until last year when I FINALLY decided to enrol in a fashion school! It was funny the face those who knew me gave whenever they learnt I was learning fashion designing, as if saying “at what age?!” But, I’m very grateful to God for giving me unrest till I started.
    I had a jotter where I wrote lots of thoughts from happenings around me. I did cherished my jotter which I lost through a friend’s carelessness. I started later, though very skeletal. But, I resumed serious writing a few years ago and I began to share some last year.
    Again, I want to add that some dreams/passions/interests have life spans that cannot be calculated by the bearer. ONLY GOD KNOWS THE END FROM THE BEGINNING!

    • I’m glad you finally checked in on Scholarpreneurs. And I’m very glad that you are very glad …hehehe
      I agree with your assertion that there are things we find ourselves doing that we don’t know why. We youths need to understand that we just have to keep at it because we never can tell when it will be useful.
      Thank you ma’am for sharing your personal story. And I look forward to have you visit Scholarpreneurs often

    […] look back at my undergraduate days, and think “why didn’t I start a business back then”. I wish I knew some of the things you’re about to read now as an undergraduate. Who knows, I’d probably have blown by now (lol) […]
