Why you should do extra-curricular activities in the university?

University life is little bit of different from the school life we spent so far. Mainly in university we do not have anyone to guide us. So people may lose chances to make their lives a miracle. I’ll explain some points to make yourself a spark.

Do a sport- Why I’m telling you to do a sport? Main thing is you will get a good health. It’ll improve your fitness and help to maintain a good weight. It’s good for your academics too, because sports help you to improve your memorizing power. Also working in teams gives you the team building ability. That will give you the power to deal with any kind of person very easily. While I’m talking about all those things I have to tell you that you are lost without time management. Time management is the blessing for you to drive to the success. Luckily I can grant you doing a sport will improve your time management as you never expected. I have to tell you that you will be in a huge pressure and a stress in the university life. But trust me, if you try on a sport in any condition you will be able to win all of those hectic times. Since you can learn accountability, dedication, and leadership you will be able to show your colors as an individual.


Be in societies- This may give you the chance to grab your luck on you. Just assume you are in need of a help, unfortunately you can’t find your path. Yes, you have friends around you. Because you have a large network of people, you have a huge collection of friends. That’s because you are in societies. In the societies there are people from different faculties, different departments, may be from different universities. Those people you meet in societies have a lot more differences, like race, hometown, status, etc. With that variety you can gain new things to your life. And also according to the society’s mission, you will get a chance to reach to life peaks. Just try on and realize on your own that I’m telling you the truth.

Work with professional bodies- Have you ever worked with a professional body? Have you ever heard of a professional body? Some of the professional bodies are IEEE (Global body for the electrical and electronic engineers), ACCA (Global body for professional accountancy). Dealing with those will give you a practice in working with standards, and the reputation. You may get chances to sparks yourself by dealing with them. Believe me this will be the golden chance you get in the university.
Participate in competitions- Do you know the competitions you are eligible in your university? Have you ever participated in any competition? What have you gain out of them? Just try on, there is no requirement to win from the every competition you participate. You will gain a lot from the participation. If you win you will  get more benefits. No need to describe the benefits from winning a competition. But as per now to reveal yourself, just participate. In the first few competitions you may get bored. But trust me, you will love to compete after few. During the competition you will learn more new subject matters, enjoy yourself, and collect more memories to your life.


Volunteering- This may be the best thing you can do in your university life. Volunteer yourself in different projects. It may be a charity project, It may be a business related project. But in volunteering we don’t go for money. So no one is there to value our contribution with any cent. That’ll motivate you to work hard, because you are not paid you are not bias. So you can take your best out of you and work for the empowerment of the society and country. After all, you will be happy.


There are lot more to enjoy yourselves in the university rather than being stuck in to academics and getting bored. Try on those to spark yourselves among others. You will realize who you are there after.
