<p>Imagine waking up in a university hostel and realizing that you are no longer an individual. You are now part of a community๐ฅ.</p><p><br/></p><p>You share a room with people you didn't choose, people with different characters, different sleeping patterns and different definitions of "quiet."</p><p><br/></p><p>One person is shouting on the phone at 6 a.m., another is watching TikTok without earphones, somebody is pressing the bed like it's a drum set, and you are just lying there asking yourself, "Did I come to university to study or to participate in a social experiment?" ๐ญ๐</p><p><br/></p><p>Then there is the upper bunk.</p><p>If you are lucky enough to get the upper bunk, congratulations. You have officially been promoted to climbing specialist. ๐</p><p><br/></p><p>You climb up to sleep.</p><p>You come down to pee.</p><p>You climb up again because you forgot your phone.</p><p>You come down because you remembered your charger.</p><p>You climb up because you want to sleep.</p><p>Then you realize you forgot to unhang your clothes outside ๐คฃ</p><p><br/></p><p>At this point, the ladder knows you more than your classmates do๐คฃ๐ฅ</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>And please, let's talk about hostel cleanliness.</p><p>You clean your corner today, and by tomorrow, the hostel has returned to its natural habitat. ๐ The toilet can humble the strongest person. The corridor has its own ecosystem. The dust has become a permanent resident and the cleaners sometimes look like they are also waiting for someone to come and clean.</p><p>But somehow, we survive.</p><p>We learn to sleep with noise, share tiny spaces, tolerate people's habits, protect our food from mysterious midnight visitors, and master the art of saying "Who touched my stuff?" at least three times a week. ๐</p><p><br/></p><p>Hostel life may test your patience, your sanity and your relationship with cleanliness, but one thing is certain ,If you survive university hostel life, adulthood cannot intimidate you๐คฃ๐ but omor life in the hostel is not for the weak.</p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The winners are picked by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate contentโuse it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio contentโhigh-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover imagesโif your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Contributor Rankings
The Rankings/Leaderboard shows the Top 20 contributors and engagers on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis
— as well as the most active colleges (users attending/that attended those colleges)
The all-time contributors ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly contributors ranking tracks performance of a user's insights for the current month. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on an all-time & monthly basis.
