Who said you can’t be a plant production student and a rising TikTok content creator while lowkey crying over assignment deadlines? Meet Priment Seerane, the University of Limpopo student proving you can do both, with a smile, a skit, and maybe a breakdown or two in between.
Priment’s content journey started in late 2023, not with a ring light and a strategy, but with one simple goal, “I just wanted to laugh about student life.”
Fast-forward a few months, and his TikToks are giving campus kids a reason to scroll through the chaos because nothing says relatable like getting a zero and turning it into a punchline.

“School is my biggest inspiration,” he says. “There’s just too much content in the struggle.”
From unmarked tests to the eternal group project ghosting, Priment captures it all with the comedic edge of someone who knows exactly what it’s like to refresh Moodle 20 times hoping the marks have changed. Spoiler: they didn’t.

When he’s not on campus, Priment is planning content like a true multitasking king. “I batch film on weekends,” he explains, “and use drafts to stay ahead.” His creative ideas often hit mid-lecture or while mindlessly scrolling, like all good procrastinators. And when the academic pressure starts boiling, he shares, “I don’t shut down, I make content out of it. It’s therapeutic. We all need to laugh through the stress.”
He exclaims, that’s his inspiration is TikTok creator Tshepo Masuku. “He’s real. He doesn’t fake the grind, and I respect that,” Priment adds.
It is stated that content creation comes with its own headaches; negative feedback, balancing time, and pretending you’re fine when you’re not. But Priment doesn’t let the haters win. “I create because I love it,” he says. “Not everyone will get it, and that’s okay.”
He dreams of collaborating with educational brands, growing his platform, and maybe even launching a YouTube channel.
Start messy. Be authentic. Ignore the trolls. Your weirdness is the content,” he advices fellow creatives stuck in campus survival mode.
