Hello, everyone.
I welcome you to my blog. When I was in high school, I was so eager to go to college. I always dreamed about being a college student, especially because of the freedom that comes with it. My parents won't be there to watch and monitor my every step, and I was eager to leave their sight because of how strict they were. I never thought of the stress and workload that come with being a college student.

When my elder sister complained about the workload whenever she came home, I was always there to challenge her, even going to the extent of calling her lazy. Today I am a college student, and I don't think there's anyone who complains more than I do. Every day when I wake up and peep through my window and I see it's day break already, I start complaining because every day comes with a workload of its own, which is another reason you should complete the workload before going to bed; otherwise, it accumulates and you find yourself stressing extra.
Trust me, life in college is like a 3D game with different levels or chapters; every day comes with its own difficulties, and one has to overcome these difficulties at all costs, even if it means suffering sleepless nights for days. Once it's morning, my heart starts to beat very fast because I don't know how difficult the day's task will be or how difficult it will be to overcome.
All In one week.
As a result of the rate of stress we undergo, we try to rest at every given opportunity. The opportunity to rest and have fun comes once in a while, so we rush to take advantage of every opportunity we get. These days I spend at least 8 hours a day within the school environment, running from one class to another and getting assignments and projects ready before submission.
Even weekends are not spared, as we have fixed classes on Saturdays as well, so how exactly do we rest? We don't even have the free time to engage in extracurricular activities anymore. Trust me, I am just addicted to the hive platform; if not, I wouldn't be active at all. Every day, we sleep tired and wake up tired. Sometimes I wake up with body pains like I did some hard labor and not just school stress.
still in a classroom at around 8pm trying to get an assignment, many other colleagues stayed back as well which served as a motivation.
Many lecturers were so relaxed and did not bother coming to class. Now that we have less than two weeks and they are rushing to cover two months work in two weeks, well, it's always the students who are on the receiving end. The lecturer will just rush through, and it's left for the student to study extensively and intensively or get shocked in the exam hall.
Some lecturers bring questions from a topic they did not cover and claim they expect the students to have covered it all. A little more stress from school, and I might break down because I have exceeded my limit limit and can't take anymore stress.
Thanks for reading my post.
