Things You Should Never Bring to Night Class

Don’t lose focus!

If you’re reading this, you’re most likely an undergraduate, recent graduate, or a postgraduate student. Don’t miss this weeks list of TFS opportunities!

Now let’s look at our list 😂

1. Your Babe

Bringing your significant other to night class is a guaranteed distraction. Instead of tackling your lecture notes, you’ll spend the whole time whispering and giggling—and for some reason, relationship people don’t know how to be subtle. Please can we catch a break?

2. A Speaker

This is night class, not a concert. Nobody needs your Amapiano mix blasting at 3am. Even if you’re revising with study music, keep it private with earphones. Let others enjoy the sound of silence.

3. A Pillow

You’re here to study, not turn the reading table into your bed. The temptation to nap is already strong so don’t make it worse by coming prepared for a sleepover.

4. Loud Snacks

It’s not an ASMR class. Don’t come with snacks like plantain chips that loves to announce its presence. Stick to quiet munchies and spare everyone the noise.

5. Your Entire Squad

If half your hostel follows you to night class, you’ve basically recreated the chaos you were trying to escape. Two or three reading partners are fine. Anything more, and it’s a party.

Night class might not be the place for your whole squad, but our newsletter definitely is.

6. A Tripod Stand

Unless you’re live-streaming your reading session (which, let’s be honest, is not what you came here for), there’s no reason to bring a tripod. Night class isn’t the place to record content or shoot a mini-documentary about your life as a student.

7. All Your Books

Carrying your entire library to night class is unnecessary and exhausting. You’ll only end up staring at the same one or two books the whole night. Be strategic and bring only what you need. Your back (and your brain) will thank you.

8. Excuses

Whether it’s blaming the heat, the noise, or your phone dying, don’t bring a suitcase of excuses to justify not studying. At night class, it’s all or nothing. Stay focused and push through.

And there you have it—the ultimate list of things that don’t belong in night class. If you’re serious about staying focused, leave these distractions at home and face what you came to do.
