“Self-discipline is crucial. Celebrate progress, not perfection,” she said.

She explained that psychology describes this stage as a lifetime transitional phase, emphasising independence, self-control, and personal responsibility.

Lady advised university students to know their aim

Before stepping onto campus, students should clarify their goals and purpose.

“The university is full of distractions. When your purpose is clear, your path becomes easier,” she advised.

Setting clear objectives helps students focus and make decisions aligned with long-term aspirations.

Lady urges students to value growth over grades

While grades matter, true success comes from understanding and personal growth.

“Deep learners focus on comprehension rather than memorisation,” she noted.

Her advice encourages students to prioritise skills, knowledge, and personal development over chasing numerical marks alone.

Lady advises embracing challenges during university life

University is not just academic; it’s a journey of self-discovery.
