Survival kit to university

By Arnia Kiara Oosthuizen



At university, there are a few things which one cannot live without. Your life as a student would not last long, if you don't have these few things.


  • A diary- this is the most important thing! Always right your homework down, or else you will forget. You will not remember your homework on your own, when you have 15 other projects at the same time.
  • An exam pad- To scribble down everything the lecturer says. If a lecturer focuses a lot on a certain topic, pay attention! Chances are it will be in the test or exams!
  • A pen- most obvious of all. A pen is needed everywhere, from writing down things, filling in forms, lending it to a cute guy. Meaning a pen is always important!
  • Previous years' exam papers- You will realize that lecturers are also lazy and they LOVE to use their previous years' exam papers. Usually the only thing that changes on the paper is the date! 
  • Water!- Always take water to class. It helps to keep you awake from those boring lecturers and water is also very healthy and keeps your mind going.
  • Breakfast- Eat breakfast in the mornings, it helps to get your digestion going, but it is also helps to get your brain on the move and to get it bright!
  • Vitamins-  After breakfast drink a few essential vitamins, like vitamin C (for immune system), Omega 3 & 6 (essential oils for the body), Calcium and Magnesium (To help keep your nails and bones strong).
  • Sleep- Allow yourself at least 6 hours of sleep. Being bright and awake is better than being tired and not being able to think on your feet.
I hope these few guidelines will help to make university a lot easier.
