After running around the school yesterday to get some registrations done before deadline, I was opportune to glance at my calendar and I realized the year is already coming to an end. I still remember how we were wishing each other a happy new year; it actually still feels like it was just yesterday.

This year coming to an end shows that time really is not a friend of any man, and it waits for nobody. Anyone out there who is still relaxed, thinking time is on his or her side, is wrong. I'd advise that they get up and start working according to plan.

Going through social media, I came across so many posts of some friends sharing with the public that they had been offered admission into the university. The truth is, it doesn't end there. They must make up their minds and be ready for the stress that comes with being a university student. Universities on this side of the world are a place where only the strong and brave survive.

You can be happy that you are leaving home and that you will be free from your parents telling you what to do and what not to do. The truth is, with the amount of work load in school, you'd wish to just stay home and let your parents control your every action. For students like me who got involved in some other activities to help sustain ourselves in school and not depend completely on our parents, the work load is extra, but we still manage to pull through.

We got involved in other activities to help meet the demands at school, and at the same time, we must balance the scale between academics and these other activities. Failure to balance the scale means you will have to fail on one side, either academics or finance. The truth is, both are important, and you won't want to fail on either side, so balancing is a must.

There are lots of difficulties associated with being a student and a blogger; in subsequent paragraphs, I will share those that I have faced.

- **Time Management:** With the work load in school, you have little or no time for yourself, so adding activities like blogging to your everyday schedule requires knowing how to make good use of your time. You must know how to utilize every free moment that comes your way.

- **Forced to Pick One Sometimes:** Sometimes you are forced to choose between blogging and carrying out a school assignment or test. They are both important (academics and finance), but you have no choice but to take one at a time.

- **Writers Block:** Most times, after having a stressful day in school, you come back home and still try to write on the computer. You can't cheat nature because at the moment what your body needs is rest, and you will realize your head is completely blank. Sometimes you can have a picture of what you want to write about in your head, but you just can't put it down in writing.
