What We Ordered Vs What We Got, The Weight We Carry.

I want to start my acknowledging this week's prompt topic, i started reading it's content inside school and I was sheepishly smiling as I enjoyed the reading to the extent that I didn't recognize I was at the end of it, I wished the reading continued because of how interesting and relatable it was, so I say a big kudos to the publisher(s) of the prompt, it indeed one big challenge of a student and we can never get enough of it, having let that out I would be diving it straight ahead.

I took note of the place where it was portraying the excitement and expectations of a student to where the student meets something almostly different as he or she enters school and it's clearly true, we choose not to see the workload that's attached because we decide to dwell on the sweet aspect of it, and sometimes I think this should be taken as a seminar in secondary schools especially to the out going student who are preparing to enter the university, just maybe this would set them on a balance before getting into the higher institution.

I could remember one day when I sat on the floor in my room and was struggling to do an assignment, I was feeling pains all over my body plus I was very sleeping at that moment, I could remember someone telling me during the day that my eyes looked tired and I had a thing down the eyes which also indicate stress, I knew I was stressed out but I didn't know it would tell on my face too and Coming back home that day I had to do an assignment because it was urgent before going to bed, I had to encourage myself that this is the reason why I came to school.

And so I totally agree with you 100% that workload is part of learning/education, for me those workloads aren't just reading of books, writing of assignments or preparing for exams, mine is included with working while schooling like bringing out 1-2 hours Hiving and extracurricular activities like church activities plus course rep-ship duty. I sometimes feel like all these are overwhelming and it can be draining but there's just a way to find happiness and peace in doing them, like for instance church activities where I am in a drama group where they get to meet twice a week which during those times I enjoy my moments being there.

Yes I know, some days maybe boring while some are interesting while some are full of joy while some are just so annoying but just like working out magic we walk through those days effortlessly, so the best recipe I can share is try to find that little giggling happiness in one or two things you do, let something be an excitement to you, we are meant to live life once so life to the fullest, walk through every challenge like it's a story to tell tomorrow and live life with no regrets.

Being a student is indeed a full-time work. Much love ❤️ and kisses 😘 from me to you.
