<p>So Guys.</p><p>Living in a hostel is not “just living with someone.”</p><p>It is spiritual warfare 😭</p><p><br/></p><p>Let me explain.</p><p><br/></p><p>Every roommate falls into one of these categories:</p><p><br/></p><p>1. The Alarm Clock Demon ⏰💀</p><p><br/></p><p>This one wakes up at 4:30am to “start the day”.</p><p>Not quietly.</p><p>No.</p><p>They will boil water, zip bag, drag bucket, play worship, all at the same time.</p><p><br/></p><p>Your spirit is saying “wake up”.</p><p>Your body is saying “let me die please”.</p><p><br/></p><p>2. The Chronic Borrower 😭</p><p><br/></p><p>This one will never buy anything.</p><p>Toothpaste? Yours.</p><p>Spoon? Yours.</p><p>Perfume? Yours.</p><p>Even your air feels borrowed at this point.</p><p><br/></p><p>They will say:</p><p>“Bro I’ll return it.”</p><p>We both know they will not return anything 😭</p><p><br/></p><p>3. The Phone Call Theatre 🎭📱</p><p><br/></p><p>Talking on the phone like they are acting in a Nollywood season finale.</p><p>Zero volume control.</p><p>You are trying to sleep.</p><p>They are explaining their entire family history to somebody on the other end.</p><p><br/></p><p>4. The Silent Serial Killer Type 😐</p><p><br/></p><p>No noise.</p><p>No sound.</p><p>No laughter.</p><p>Just… there.</p><p><br/></p><p>You don’t know if they like you.</p><p>Or if they are planning your funeral.</p><p><br/></p><p>This one keeps everyone alert.</p><p><br/></p><p>5. The Party Commandant 🎧🔥</p><p><br/></p><p>Music 24/7.</p><p>Speaker always loud.</p><p>Room becomes a nightclub for no reason.</p><p><br/></p><p>Your brain is tired.</p><p>Your ears are tired.</p><p>Your ancestors are tired.</p><p><br/></p><p>At the end of the day, hostel life is character development 😭</p><p>It teaches you patience, negotiation, and how to survive with no personal space.</p><p><br/></p><p>Your turn:</p><p>Which type of roommate do YOU currently have?</p><p>Go on, describe them.</p><p>I’m ready to laugh 😭👇</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 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.
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 "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 "Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
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 content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if 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.
Contributor Rankings
The Contributor Rankings shows the Top 20 Contributors on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis.
The all-time ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly score sums the score on all your insights in the past 30 days. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on TwoCents — these are community members that have engaged the most with other user's content.
Contributor Score
Here is a list of metrics that are used to calcuate your contributor score, arranged from
