Striking The Balance Between My School Life And My Hive Life.

Are we really ever busy for the things that we love? Well, a lot of people will say no but at times we are quite busy. Life catches up with us and the things we once loved doing so much become a whole lot of burden for us.

I was once of the notion that one can’t be so busy when it comes to things they love. They can always find the time and space to do the things they do cherish. But I’ve come to a rather confusing conclusion. People who know me know that I like writing a lot. In fact, when I started on hive I could make up to 3 to 4 posts in a day. I wasn’t getting a lot of upvotes then but then there was something about writing for me. Hive is not my first writing blockchain though so I knew what I was getting into.

I wrote as things came to me. So to me doing what I loved most was something that wasn’t too difficult for me. For the past week, I’ve been quite busy. At least in my dictionary, it is something I call being busy. I didn’t even have that time to write. I slept at night thinking about one thing only and woke up from bed thinking about that one thing.

That was what kept me busy and boy I didn’t like it at all. The school has reopened and as such I’ve had a lot of things to do lately. Being in the final year doesn’t come easily for some people. For me, I know I’d be busier in the coming weeks. I say this because my project supervisor behaves like he doesn’t care about what we are doing and he doesn’t wanna meet us too.

I know soon enough we’ll have to present most of our project chapters to him for review. He’s not saying anything and as such we are left hanging. The semester is coming to the middle and as such we have to start preparing for mid semesters. We are also involved in group presentations this semester. This shouldn’t sound like a big deal for someone in level 400 right but since we haven’t done it before it feels so big to us. My brother on the other doesn’t see it as a big deal. In their department, they have been presenting since day one so it’s nothing to them.

So because of all this, it seems am busy. Not that am always on it but then I don’t even have the free mind to think about anything else. My group members are not helping either, they are always giving us pressure to meet and all that. For most of us, we have not done it before so they are not making us rest. They want it to be as perfect as possible.

So it feels like it’s not going to be easy until we finish it. But then how do I balance all this if all am thinking about every day is project work, group presentations and mid-semesters? Lol.

Believe me, if I say I was one of the people who didn’t think this will be a lot of stress. When Depressedfuckup was talking about final year I thought he was hyping it lol. Men, I don’t like it when you try to scare me but now I understand. So now I’ve taken a few strategies which I think could help me.

Since I find it difficult to write during the day, I’ve decided to write a scheduled post just before I go to bed. If I can schedule it before I go to bed then that’s it. If am not able to I’ll post it when I wake up. After my morning prayers, the first thing I’ll do is make a post. I’ve decided that I’ll make at least two posts per day. Hopefully, I can stick with this to remain consistent for a long long time or at least till I finish school.

What are some of the things you do to help you stay active and consistent on hive? I’ll love to hear about it.
