Day 7: TJCHEF DELIES 🧡🤍 Hi LinkedIn Fam, it's 3 days to convocation!🤭🎉 And it's Day 7 of my #ConvocationCountdownChallenge Cooking started as a hobby for me, something I enjoyed doing in my spare time. Little did I know it would grow into a thriving business during my university days. As a studentpreneur, I ran TJCHEF DELIES, a catering brand that provides high-quality meals and pastries that are not just delicious but also salubrious to our customers. What started with small orders soon turned into delivering up to 500 plates of Jollof Rice and other meals to events like conferences, dinners, and other gatherings during weekends. Managing all this while being a full-time student was no small feat. Thankfully, I had a kitchen assistant who supported me during peak periods. Yet, balancing entrepreneurship with academics meant giving extra hours to studying and sacrificing leisure to achieve my goals. I’m grateful for the grace to not only successfully run this business as a student but also graduate with a First-Class degree in Mathematics! The experience equipped me with several valuable skills: ✓ Time Management: Balancing academics with business demands required deliberate scheduling. ✓ Customer Relationship Management: Meeting customer expectations and handling feedback taught me effective communication and excellent delivery. ✓ Strategic Thinking: Planning for bulk orders and deliveries refined my ability to make quick, informed decisions. ✓ Vision-Driven Persistence: Every order delivered brought me closer to my dream of building something impactful. The vision for TJCHEF DELIES is far beyond campus. I intend to grow it into a globally recognized food company, known for delivering high-quality, delicious, and healthy meals. I’m immensely grateful for this journey; it refined me, shaped my character, and gave me practical lessons in business management. To my fellow students or recent graduates who have entrepreneurial aspirations: don’t let the fear of failure hold you back. Start where you are, with what you have, and trust the process. The lessons you learn along the way are invaluable. Here’s to building dreams, one step at a time! Curious to see more of what we do at TJCHEF DELIES?

Time for food! We get a lot of questions about "what do we eat" on semesters 👉 the answer is, it varies! But one thing we love to do wherever we are is cook together. We also like to learn from local chefs, partners, and hosts - and then bring back our favorite recipes! Alumni, have you cooked anything from your semester for your friends or family upon returning home? #carpediem #carpegapyear #gapyear #travel #studyabroad #college #gapyearlife #gaplife #internationaleducation #getoutside #exchangestudent

As a guardian for boarding school students, I often assist with holiday break arrangements. During these times, students can either return to their home country or stay with a host family. For many Asian students, the request to stay with an Asian host family is not just about language or familiarity—it’s about food! They often miss the comfort of their home cuisine. Today, I’d like to share a bit about the meal arrangements typically offered by homestays. In a local host family, breakfast is usually self-served, with students free to enjoy toast, cereal, milk, or muffins. Lunch tends to be light, such as a bagel with smoked salmon or a hot dog. For dinner, you’ll often find hot meals like pasta, meat, or pizza. However, in Asian homestays, the meals reflect more familiar tastes. Breakfast might include congee, dumplings, or noodles in hot soup. Even something as simple as stir-fried vermicelli with egg can bring a lot of joy to students craving the flavors of home. Some hosts even offer special dinners like hot pot or BBQ, which—while sometimes at a higher cost—are much appreciated. As a guardian, I love seeing the food photos my students share with me. It’s clear these meals bring them a sense of comfort and happiness, and that’s what we strive for—providing options that make students feel at home, wherever they are. #internationalstudentlife #homefromhome #studyintheuk #HomestayExperience #foodandculture #tasteofhome
