Medical student tells people never to quit
In a TikTok post on April 10, Tina reflected on her time studying for her first degree, admitting that she always felt that something was missing and that she was just floating through it.
Now a medical student, Tina stated that it still feels like a dream. While noting that she is older than the 'ideal' age to study medicine, Tina believes everyone's journey is different.
She encouraged netizens never to give up on their dreams, noting that it is never too late.
"What a rollercoaster 😭.
"I graduated with a degree I had no real passion for. Throughout university, something always felt missing, like I was just floating through it. After graduating, I started asking myself what I truly wanted, and I knew I couldn’t give up on my dreams.
"So, without telling my parents, I took JAMB again… and I passed 🥳.
"Now I’m a medical student, and honestly, it still feels like a dream. Yes, I’m older than the “ideal” age, but everyone’s journey is different—and that’s okay.
"To my book friends and family, this explains my absence over the past few months. I promise to start posting book content again soon 🤍 Never give up on your dreams. It’s never too late," Tina wrote.

University student changes course after 2 years
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Lead City University student had changed her course after studying law for two years.
In a TikTok post, she shed light on her decision to quit studying law and how the university helped her decide for once in her life. The undergraduate student shared her academic story on TikTok in a post on April 9, hailing Lead City University for its guidance.
While noting that it was too risky to gamble her future, the lady admitted that starting all over again after two years of studying law was not an option, hence her choice of changing departments while continuing on her academic path. She believed changing courses was the only way to prevent future disappointments or problems.
