So, when we arrived at the cafe, we picked a table at the corner and then we ordered our drinks, I ordered a cafe machiatto with a cookie because I love their cookies here, it's not too sweet just perfect taste of my liking. When the drinks then arrived our table looked messy because of the notes we had since we are also busy studying, but if felt fun anyways, doung some review in the middle of sipping some coffee.
At first, we were just talking and laughing, it was like funny moments in class and jokes about our teachers. But then, we got serious and started reviewing, since we don't want to fail hahaha. I opened my notes and highlighted the important parts while also asking my classmates about things I didn’t fully understand. It was nice because whenever one of us got confused, the others would explain. Studying with them made everything feel easier.
We got distracted sometimes. Someone’s phone would ring or we’d suddenly remember something funny, and then we’d all laugh, or sometimes we are glued to our phone for minutes.. But those little breaks made the study session more enjoyable. It didn’t feel too heavy, and the mix of studying and laughing kept us going.
What I liked most about that afternoon was the feeling of being together. Because most of the time, when I study alone, I feel tired and stressed. But sitting there with my classmates made me feel like I wasn’t alone and that it felt good we were struggling together hahaha.. We were all preparing for the same quiz, and we were helping each other out.
By the time we finished, it was already 5:00 pm, so we decided to return back to school since our quiz would be at 5:30-7:00 pm. We packed our things and joked about how hard the quiz might be, but at least we felt a little more ready. Walking out, I felt lighter not just because I reviewed, but because I shared the whole experience with friends.
