ACADEMIC

Contrary to the definition above is extra curricular activities which involves other things which are actually out of realm of academics,i.e not studied or done in the four corners of the classroom. These activities involves watching and playing of football, dancing, singing, racing,clubbing,involvement in different groups such as jet club,campus politicking e.t.c. Over the years, this activities which fall outside the realm of normal curriculum of schools, colleges or universities has been found coupled effectively and easily with academics by students of any level which in turn add value to them,or as the case may be in ruin the student academic career or course of study.
Academics being a great task on its own involves series of curricular activities ranging from studying, understanding, reasoning,steadfastness as well as attentiveness in order to maintain balance directed towards success. However,despite all this requirements,it is still expected of an average students to fully participate in extra curricular activities so as to be dynamic, diverse and versatile in Knowledge towards adding value to oneself. It has even been proved that students who solely involved in academics while in school,college or university are solely useful in that realm of affairs even after graduation.Maintaining balance in academics when fully involve in extra curricular activities is achievable when the following suggestions and are duely noted and followed;
UNDERSTAND YOURSELF
A student who want to maintain academic balance couple with extra curricular activities must first understand his or herself. Such students must not imitate or compare him or herself with others as humans are different owing to difference in maternity or paternity.
EFFICIENT TIME MANAGEMENT
Time is of great importance towards maintaining academic balance, the time wait for no one thus effective and proper usage of it should be of utmost priority. Lectures should be attended as at when due,reading as at when due and also all work without play makes jack a dull boy.
PEER GROUP
Influence of peer group cannot be over- emphasised in maintaining academic balance. Students must be careful of their peer group and ensure positive influence.
PARTICIPATION IN EDUCATIONAL EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Students must ensure they participate in extra curricular activities which is educative and involves reasoning which in turn add values to them. When all these suggestions and ideas are noted and effectively followed, it is expected that academic balance should be achieved with full involvement in extra-curricular activities..
