imagine how it will be when the person you have need of is one of the people you never even said hello to when you should have .
Social life is not just all about friendship ; it also covers the area of leadership and followership . One of the basic things a student should learn on campus outside the academics activity is either of leadership or followership . I said either because we cannot all be leaders neither can we all be followers . So many students have streamlined politics on campus to a corrupt and morally unstable activity that preaches nothing other than embezzlement corniness . But that is not the actual truth . A leader that has learnt how to lead ten people effectively will without doubt be a better leader than one who has never lead at all although there are rare exceptional cases . Leadership and followership on campuses is a controlled specimen of the larger world reality . Thus your ability to submit to authority and lead effectively is part of the social life you should learn while on campus . Of a truth leadership on campuses are almost nothing to write home about . But one thing you must note is that the leader is who the followers want and allow him / her to be . Better put the leader is the product of the followers . The type of leadership you have on campus is the prototype of what you have in the real world , be it democratic , autocratic , and what have you . Correct the leadership and followership on campus and the societal leadership and followership will take a new turn .
Mentorship is one of the constituents of social life because it deals with relationship . Many people have missed the essence of mentorship as it has just become an activity people do because they see others do . But mentorship is needful and its part of the things you should develop to have a sound social life . a mentor is one who has gone ahead of you in life at such u are at an advantage when you have a mentor because you wouldn ’ t have to struggle much with the life challenges he or she has already encountered .
Finally as I conclude I know you may be wondering where partying and celebrating comes to play in your social life . Of a truth they are part of your social life but you must learn to acknowledge limits and wisdom which is what is missing in most parties and celebration on campuses . We can never separate morality from a good social life . Yes you could have birthday parties , graduation parties , send forth parties and the likes but who told you that a party is incomplete without alcohol and sexually immoral activities ? Or who says a party must be in the night ? I said morality initially but I will like to add that irrespective of your moral standards your spiritual life which I will not be emphasizing could tell how your social life is to some great extent . What you do and the people you relate with are as a result of who and what you believe . Others may regard your spiritual life as part of your social life but I am convinced personally without doubt that the two are different .

In conclusion I will like you to know that social life is not a story that concerns just a group of people neither is it a term that exist in isolation . What makes you complete as a human being are your spiritual life , social life , and academic life . Every other thing is traceable to the three spheres of life above . So in as much as we have discussed social life , you must learn to balance it with your academic and spiritual life if you must be a complete being . Don ’ t see social life to be less important , and don ’ t take it as the most important .
