A random picture of me with @monioluwa



Despite my efforts to remain active here, school activities have managed to keep me from writing. Nonetheless, I continue to host some activities on chain, such as the Hive Learners Community Hangout and the Newbies Initiative. These are the areas of my mind that I am more focused on than writing on Hive. Since I essentially rely on my articles for a living, I am kind of running low on money and am frequently broke because I haven't been writing on Hive.

In my last two blogs, I promised to vlog more frequently, but things have been so stressful for me lately that I'm exhausted when I get home and can't do anything, but hopefully, that will change soon.

Today, classes were cancelled for the entire day, which means I have more time to do other things like Hive. I had to take advantage of the opportunity to write this article and plan my day in order to complete some assignments that were due this week. To prepare for the day, I left my apartment for my favourite restaurant near school, where I planned to engage in some Hive content and meet with @monioluwa to explain some Binance-related topics.

We bought rice and Moimoi to eat while chatting with Monioluwa, which I forgot to photograph, and decided to step down with Hollandia yoghurt for me and Malta Guinness for Monioluwa.

The Hollandia yoghurt is about $1.2 and the Malt is about $0.375.

When @sekan arrived, everything became more enjoyable. I was complaining about my age during one of our conversations. I told her I was 19 years old, but the truth is that I turned 18 this year 😅.

Everything improved when @olaoluwapo arrived, and we began gisting on a variety of topics, one of which was "Locus of Control." I wasn't fully immersed in their conversations because I was multitasking, attempting to be a part of their conversation while also focusing on my article.

Time flew by in front of my eyes before I could finish what I set out to do. I wasn't able to complete my assignment at the time I expected due to distractions, but I had more fun than I had planned.

I'm currently in church rehearsals, trying to finish this article. Hopefully, the rehearsals will conclude early and I will be able to complete my assignments by the end of the day. So, what's the best part of your day?

Wow! I never knew you were a student. I also face the same problem as a student, but I have tried to adjust because I also need to make some change for handout and textbooks.
Good luck with your studies. Make sure your CGP is high oo! Hahaha 😄
Thanks for sharing.

My brother, is not easy oh. I do hive as early as possible in leofinance before going for lectures, while during the day I sometimes write during break between one and two pm. Though I may not send it that time till evening, lastly I also do actifit report which of course you know does not need much write up.

But any day I get too busy I just make sure I make just one post at least to keep body and soul together.

How about you?

How I wish I am there too to have fun with you guys, especially taking it down with Rice and Moimoi 🤪
Locus of control would be an interesting topic to discuss especially with group of people and would definitely learn something.

It is not easy trying to combine school activity and online hustling as a student but one has to plan and cope with the situation.

My day has been great and I enjoy it more on Hive as I dedicated more time today. I hope you try your best writing on Hive to help you survive too.

yeah I would try often, but the thing I need to try most is engaging the more... Even if I don't write I should try to connect with people.. That should help me in my growth in here.

I am sure you would have connected to lots of individuals on Hive and built a mega family already.

I know the struggle of juggling classes, work and keeping a household, let alone spare time for socializing and between that also finding time for Hive. I think most of Hive also have a lot to juggle, so people will understand if classes take up more time during certain times.

So do you and what's best for you in the moment! 💪

Yeah, there was a time I had to step away from Hive for a bit, to accomplish something in the physical world. Now I have enough time again and there may come a day again where I again don't have time. I think it's a wave.

Take care!

It's always interesting to read about your hangout, I just love the food part and the pictures aspect too, hehe. It's a good thing your class was canceled as that made you think about us your die hard fans, lolz.

Hmm, @sekani see me privately, lolz, yes it's you I called because it's only you that I know 😂😂.

Well the best part of my day was when I sang with my group, hehe, thank you for asking 😊.

smiles... I love food, so when I go out like that, I make sure I buy something that would really satisfy myself.

When you sang with a group, hope you recorded it, you know that alone is content for Hive...

Of course you do like food and I really admire that in your too because there are a lot of things, lolz.

No I did not it was by the road side everywhere was just so noisy we just felt like singing and that was it. Well I hope I get to meet them again before I travel back home and then I will record it then, hehe. Thank you for the reminder by the way.

I wish you a fantastic Wednesday Emmy 🥰

Multitasking has never been an easy job I must say . The most important thing however is to be always conscious of when one is lagging behind in any aspect of the respective goals one plans to achieve. Combining hive activities and our normal daily routine can be cumbersome sometimes; but for me I always feel some type of way if I've not dropped a comment on any post at least . It's that deep!

I think your system is very used to Hive which is why you feel that kind of way... For me, it is very hard not to manage to open up Hive for a good day. I open it everyday but talking about creating contents often has gotten tougher as the day went by.

Certainly! creating content is entirely a different ball game . It requires a lot of mental energy and focus!! No love lost though.. have a nice day man.

Combining schoolwork and internet jobs is a huge task, especially for bloggers and content writers. You will start to lose strength now, but simply make an effort to keep going.
You will soon graduate and have more time for your side hustles online.

Manage the situation for the time being, and I hope you gain the strength you need to finish your assignment and other tasks. You can occasionally drink an energy drink to help you feel more energised.
Wish you all the best man
