How To Graduate With A First Class Degree From Any University In The World

Today was my convocation from UNILAG, and I graduated with a first class. In this article, I’ll show you exactly how I did it.

Graduating with a first class degree is one of the most celebrated feats in academia around the world. Imagine having “Graduated with a first class degree from Harvard University” on your résumé. Amazing stuff.

In this article, whether it’s UNILAG or Harvard you want, I’ll show you how to graduate with a first class.

1. First of all, get into the school.

This is the hard part. We can’t help you get admitted into any university, but once you do, we’ll take it from there. If you’ve already passed this stage, keep reading.

2. Don’t attend classes.

Don’t waste your time attending classes. You have better things to do with your life. Use all that time to hustle because you already know that no matter what, you will graduate with a first class.

You’re welcome.

3. Make friends.

Friends are important in life, yes. But in this plan, they are very important. You’ll see why. And don’t just make two or three friends o. Be friends with almost everyone in class. The more cliques you’re in, the better.

4. Learn how to use Canva.

Canva is a free online tool for photo editing. No, this isn’t an ad. This is your key to being a Harvard graduate. Go and learn how to use Canva today.

5. Get a clear picture of your set’s graduation list.

This is the moment you’ve been waiting for. That “pass” that they gave you is not for you, don’t worry. It’s their sons and daughters that will graduate with pass, not you.

6. Edit your name into first class.

Just like that, you’re a first class graduate

When we were asking you to learn how to use Canva, you thought we were joking. Who will edit your name for you now?

7. Share it with your friends and family.

My mother when she sees this

If you do a good job editing your name, share it with your parents. You are the first-class child they’ve been looking for. All your older siblings in the mud.

8. Add it to your CV.

Abi is that not why you were looking for a first-class degree in the first place?

9. Remember those friends we asked you to make? Let them back up your lie.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Related: 5 Fears a Lot of Nigerian Students Have About Graduating From the University

Graduating from University is something a lot of people look forward to. They are tired of all the sleepless nights and concoction rice. Some people however, really are not looking forward to that time and here is why:

1) All the pressure

Nigerian parents will pressure you on a normal day, but the thing about graduation is that they believe it is meant to begin a domino effect. Graduate, good job, marriage, children etc. It does not work that way, and it seems a lot of people have forgotten. It is not you that killed Jesus

2) Time

You start to feel guilty for all the time you spend relaxing because you could be using it to do something like applying for jobs and preparing for NYSC. Whenever an opportunity comes to relax and enjoy, you turn it down.

3) Broke

No money from school, and no job, so no salary. Your pockets are always empty and it seems there is no way out of it.

4) Lack of structure

With school comes a plan and a general idea of how your day will go, but as a graduate those plans are not there. There is nothing set in stone. You freestyle each day, hoping you are not wasting away.

5) Fear

With school came a safety net. When you graduate, you are thrown into the real world, and it is not a fun place to be.
