Should I call myself Lazy or an Enthusiast 19/7/21

I woke up this morning not feeling highly spirited because I know I have to go to work.

I've realised that the end of the month is always moving 🐌🐌🐌slowly. And I get tired of going to work. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 This month in particular because my mind is in camp for NYSC and I'm trying not to be fed up of the students excesses.

As I have said in previous articles, I'm awaiting my National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and my mind is already off work. I'm seeing my self at the orientation camp already.

For those that might not know, The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), is an organization set up by the Nigerian government, it started in 1973 and it was set up to ensure that Nigerian students give a mandatory one-year service to the Nation upon graduation.

Check out nice articles from my sponsors. You will enjoy it for sure.

However, while these individuals are preparing for serving the country, there's a mandatory three week orientation, in which students all over the country get to camp in various designated places all over the country.

I'm anticipating this three weeks, so I think my laziness is a part.

I've been reading on how to cope with the three weeks “orientation” period spent in a military-controlled boot “camp” away from ones family and friends. And I've been able to gather the following;

• Join the OBS

  The Orientation Broadcasting Service (OBS) is a great way to serve while in the camp. It is a very important unit of the camp, it will offer you opportunities to not only develop your skills editorially and your media skills, you will get to know the key officers that you need to know in the camp. I think I'll be more present in this unit.

• Run a small business

  There's also an avenue for you to make money while at the orientation camp. You can decide to offer services such as hair dressing or laundry to others in the camp who need them for a fee(as we have lots of people who are in camp to show off and wouldn't mind spending their all). It is a great way to hone your business skills before you are launched into the labour market.

• Do an online course

  The orientation period does have also have to be all activities and socializing only, you can further develop yourself on the side by registering and going through a short online course during your stay in camp. The good thing about online learning is that it is flexible so you can actually plan it around the time that you will be leaving the camp.

• Socialize and actually meet new people

  The NYSC scheme was originally established to encourage.

  I'm ready to mingle, to know people and to be known.

The time table for this batch has been released and by 24th-26th of this month I will know which state I'm posted to, where I'll be observing my 1year mandatory service.

I can't wait.

In my next article I'll talk about my preparation and the things I've gotten in preparation for this camp.

Disclaimer: The above article is based on what I gathered. I'm an Enthusiast. Can't wait for the service to begin. It's slated for 27th of this month. Get ready to be fed with my camp stories.
