Getting Ready: What To Wear On Your Matriculation

Hello world!

To those of you who are about to be matriculated, Ayeeko! It is a wonderful moment, that you've entered school to enroll as a candidate for a degree or diploma. As life grows, things become sweeter (Quote me). So don't worry, your graduation would be sweeter than your matriculation. Your wedding would be sweeter than your first job, then it goes on and on and on.....

Anyway, back to the blog: Matriculation tips.

Let's get started.

Ghanaian tertiary institutions usually set aside two days for the matriculation; one for the main event, which usually takes place on Saturdays, depending on the school, then the other day for thanksgiving (Sundays). We are only focusing on the outfits for the main event.

During matriculation, I suggest you wear some classy, not flashy outfit because you might want to take a whole lot of pictures with your new mates and friends.

Below are three outfit ideas for your matriculation.

For the "I love Africa" ladies.

For the "I love Africa" guys.

For the people who want to feel like a celebrity

For those who want to look"I will work at the office after school".

                          All the best in your tertiary life.

Are you a fresher? Sweetheart, tweet me a picture of your outfit /matriculation @MarieNoelGrant. I will reply and retweet and wish you all the best.

Stay Sweet!!!

A message from MD to Incoming Freshers

Congratulations! You have gotten admission and you are about to go to school. Some of you are in school already but it doesn't matter. I just want to wish you well.

The tertiary institution is a scary place. (That's what I think) but don't get scared. I don't want you to go through what I went through.

Make sure you've gotten accommodation. Very important. After you have gotten a letter, see if you can go to your university town or make enquiries and find accommodation whether on campus or off campus.

Participate in orientation. There, you can get acquainted with the school and make new friends.

Attend every class/lecture. Do NOT SKIP class for no reason

Don't go home every weekend. Yes, you might be homesick and all. You can go but not EVERY weekend.

Take part in events like sports, Hall Week, Freshers' Night. It's fun.

Learn to manage your time and money well. VERY IMPORTANT.

All right! All the best and hugs from me.

Don't forget to be checking out the blog every week for more inspiration, tips, and other fun and awesome stuff.

BLOG PEP TALK FOR INCOMING FRESHERS

You’ve gotten a text or e-mail telling you to come for your letter at a regional post office. Your prayers have been answered and now you can walk like you are now part of a dog-eat-dog world. Congratulations to all who got admission. No matter which institution you got (university, college, polytechnic, training colleges etc), you must aim at making a difference there.

So I gathered my friends to write this post for you, to give you advice. Please take them to heart and visit their blogs also for more inspiration

Charlotte of Ryters Diary says "I would say Uni is a great environment to develop oneself in all aspects of life. Be open minded, laugh a lot, explore and make the grades"

Mj Jimmy who doesn't have a blog yet but is a great poet says "University exposes you to avenue of great thoughts. Make good use of your brain and explore where creativity sets in."

Kimberly of .Kimberly's chronicle says "My advice would be to go in with an open mind, and don't forget to have a little fun. There's so much to be discovered and learned, but in order for that to happen, people need to be open to it. It's always good to have a plan, but it's also good to accept that the plan may change."

Emma of ItsEmmaElisesays "My advice is to learn how to be adaptive. It's harder than it seems. But your study methods, time management skills, etc from previous, lower levels of education will not get you through the hard stuff! Be open to changing how you approach your studies, and always be grateful for the opportunity to be learning more!"

Fayeampah of Awoken By poemssays "Well, the little I can give to that individual is that he/she should be good at whatever he would be pursuing. he should brighten the corner where he/she is."

Kojo antwi (Not the musician but the poet, also known as Kojo Poet) of 41Dreams Poetry Nation says "The first question the person should ask him or herself is "does the choice of course suit his or her passion?" The person should seek to gain practical knowledge. "
 

 

I hope you would adhere to this little pep talk we gave you. Enjoy your stay and thumbs up to your admission.
