Setting study goals became a game. Cubbes helped her stay on top of things, even while stuck on the road.
From Dead Time to Productive Grind
With Cubbes, Adeola’s commute went from wasted hours to the most productive part of her day. 'Suddenly, my commute wasn’t a time sink anymore,” she says, grinning. “It became my secret study weapon.' Her daily routine? Flashcards in the morning to wake up her brain, then listening to audio summaries of lectures on the way home to lock in what she learned. Traffic jams? Those became mini study sessions.
Bossing Her Studies
The results? Mind-blowing. Even with her long commute, Adeola started climbing to the top of her class. Her lecturers took notice too. “Her preparation is next-level,” says Dr. Nnamdi, her Macroeconomics professor. “It’s hard to believe she manages such a long commute and still shows up so sharp.”
More Than School: Time Management Master
Cubbes didn’t just boost her grades. It also turned Adeola into a time-management pro. She learned how to squeeze productivity out of every spare moment, juggling school, family, and a part-time job like a boss. “Cubbes taught me it’s not about how much time you have; it’s about how you use it,” Adeola reflects. “Now I’m more efficient at everything.”
A New Kind of Learning
Adeola’s journey proves that education doesn’t have to be limited to classrooms. With tools like Cubbes, even traffic jams can turn into study sessions. Dr. Oluwaseun Adekunle, an EdTech researcher at UniLag, says this shift is huge. “Mobile learning tools like Cubbes are changing the game for students who face long commutes,” he explains.
Looking Ahead
Now, with her final year in sight, Adeola looks back with pride. “I was so close to giving up, but now look where I am,” she says. “Cubbes didn’t just help me survive – it helped me thrive.” Adeola’s story is proof that with the right tools and mindset, even long commutes can become opportunities. For thousands of Nigerian students dealing with the daily grind, Adeola shows that the journey can be just as valuable as the destination.
