As a student in this Nigeria,stress has been the major part of our daily life,it's not easy to go to school in the morning and leave by 5pm. Sometimes it's really overwhelming for me,I would have been very tired by the time I get back home and I might not be able to cook anything again,I might just buy food for myself.
Considering my course,it's not easy at all, especially when we started our exams,it lasted three weeks,for three days we had one exam each day,it was not a simple course,I and my friend will read from night till morning then go to school and write our exam,the same evening again we will start another reading,it was not easy,that was what caused my stress this last few weeks, like it was really hectic.
Anytime I get back from school I will always eat,even if I don't cook I will buy something to eat and then sleep,that was how I was able to manage it,so by evening or night I will reading again,so that I won't be too exhausted and I can assimilate well enough.
School is a major and important aspect of our lives,so I cannot get rid of it unless I'm done with school,I will continue to manage and work harder so that everything can be okay for me.
Another thing that can cause my stress is work, I'm back home now,and I will going to work on Saturdays with my boss,it's a catering job, believe me when I say it's always hectic,my boss will always call me to follow her to work, anytime we get there I always prefer to wash the pepper and tomatoes for a start instead of washing the slaughtered cow(cow meat),the intestines of the cow and the dirty parts,I really don't like to do those parts,I prefer washing plates,then when everything is set, like grinding of the pepper or cooking of the cow meat,then I love to fry it,you know that part, frying the meat means eating the meat too 😁,I love that part of it.
Its always very stressful because we all have to wake up by 3am or 4am depending on how much food we want to cook,I can remember one day when I got back from school,my boss had a wedding decoration to do and also cook somewhere too,it was really stressful,when I got home I couldn't stand up,I couldn't go to church the following Morning because it was a Sunday,I just slept at home, after cooking we came to do decorations again,after everything was over we went to remove all our decorating cloths and flowers,the decorated chairs and all,with the fact that we already served everyone at one Wedding like that...that was the most stressful day of my life since I started working with her,I don't think I want to be stressed like that again.
When I got back I took pain reliever medicine and rested,if not it would have been worse the next day,I did not go for any work the next weekend,I decided to stay at home and rest throughout and that was how I was able to manage stress well and I can't get rid of the work because that's my work too so I will just have to manage it always.
