A Real Campus Diva's Principles



"Campus Divas for Rich Men."
This is a page that has created so much fuss in the last month and elicited all of reactions. Needless to say the condemnation rose loudly above the praise of this particular face book page. Basically the page has a couple of campus students posting their bios and pretty scandalous pictures of themselves looking for rich men to please so long as they get pampered.

In view of what this page stands for under the haughty administrator who honestly could careless of the critics I came up with 5 principles for any self respecting Campus diva.
Principle No. 1
As a decent young lady in campus the first and foremost principle should be to put God first. This is a mantra most young ladies in campus seem to throw to the back seat once well acquainted with campus life. Having God as a leading part of your life will have a positive impact in a girl's life. This relationship will provide a moral compass needed in decision making.
Principle No. 2
Keep the academic fires burning.
 As the modern day campus ladies start their academic life, it is fuelled by the will to do the best in school, all A s. As they progress the sweet little pleasures such as partying from Sunday to Sunday take the fore front. Consequently, their academics take a plunge south slowly but surely headed for the downward spiral. We all know you cannot serve two masters at a time. Eventually the main purpose of going to the university is blurred and results in a "pass" which is nothing exciting to write home about.
Principle No. 3
Never let a man (young or old) control you.
 Opposites attract no doubt about that and at some point we ladies are bound to fall for a guy at some point in most cases. Well there is nothing wrong with that fact, it is extremely tragic when a lady lets herself become a puppet. That simply means being at a man's beck and call and putting his wants and needs first. This always has a 99% negative impact on academics and honestly in life generally. While in the campus age bracket, that is when a lady is at her prime and it is a crying shame having to throw all that away.
Principle No. 4
Personal development.
This is all about focusing on becoming a better person and all rounded. What this simply means is engaging in activities that improve your traits and skills. For instance participating in inter- varsity games, attending workshops, applying for internships during holidays. I am sure you get the drift and those are to mention but a few. This adds value to you as a person and is also a good way of avoiding being idle after all we all know an idle mind is the devil's workshop.
Principle No. 5
Integrity.
This is all about being morally upright and having good conduct. This simply means not doing anything that negates morality. If this principle was strictly and adherently observed then campus divas for rich men, girls sleeping with lecturers for good grades, campus girls filling up Koinange street and strip clubs would be a thing of the past. The nasty stereotype that campus ladies are cheap and classless people would be a story grown old and irrelevant.

Those are my basic guidelines to achieving a lot of positivity in any campus lady's life. This is the real definition of a campus diva and a role model that young girls can look up to. A sure way to honoring all the women who fought so hard for the rights we so freely enjoy to date.
