Money, relationships, leadership and the everyday realities of student life.
Being a student is already a demanding journey, but combining academic responsibilities with leadership roles can significantly amplify the pressure — the reality for many SRC members at Triumphant College.
In the age of constant connectivity, students find themselves caught between two worlds: the one they inhabit physically, and the one they curate digitally.
Budgeting is very important, especially when you are away from home for the first time, because you become fully responsible for your own money. It helps you plan ahead, cover basic needs, and avoid stress.
Financial literacy is the ability to understand how money works and how to manage it wisely. As students handling money independently for the first time, it becomes essential to avoid stress and build a strong foundation.
Peer pressure plays a significant role in shaping how students spend their money on campus. Many feel compelled to align with the lifestyles of their peers, leading to spending driven by acceptance, not necessity.
Sharing costs is an important strategy for students living in hostels or shared accommodation, helping alleviate the financial burden of living expenses and allowing them to allocate resources more efficiently.
Characterized by comfort, aesthetic living and experiences curated for social media, this lifestyle is increasingly visible among students. But are students improving their quality of life or placing themselves under financial strain?
In a country where youth unemployment hovers around 37-44%, and many students depend on NSFAF allowances that sometimes arrive late, side hustles have become more than just extra cash — they are a lifeline for financial survival.
Language is more than just a medium of communication; it is the foundation of cultural identity. In Namibia, a country rich in cultural diversity, language plays a critical role in preserving traditions, histories, and values.
Every year, independence arrives in Namibia with a ceremony, flags lifted into the March sky. But when the music fades, a quieter question lingers: what does it actually mean to be free now?
There comes a moment in many students' academic journeys when certainty begins to unravel. The fork in the road rarely announces itself loudly; it begins as a quiet discomfort.
Breakups during exam periods can have significant effects on students' mental health and academic performance. Emotional responses such as sadness, anxiety, and heartbreak often interfere with concentration, memory, motivation, and sleep.
