Welcome to my blog and another wonderful edition of the Hive Learners' featured post. I doubt if there's any individual out there that does not like holidays; a break from all the hustles and bustles is something everyone longs for.
A lot of people wish for an extension in the holiday, but there is a season for everything, a time to rest and a time to work. The holiday season is over, and we all need to get back to work lest we run out of cash and have nowhere to turn. We must as well return to school so we don't miss out on classes.
The end of sleeping and waking up whenever it pleases us is upon us; the holidays were wonderful. The relaxation and rest that come with holidays are top-notch and cannot be compared to the stress that comes with working or schooling. Many people will surely choose holidays over work days, but we cannot let our holidays be longer than our working days.
While growing up, I really did hate school and the stress that came with it; I prayed for weekends even if it was Monday. I wish for the next day to be a Saturday, so I can rest and relax, and if possible, relax for the whole year. Life is not a bed of roses, and that makes it impossible to relax for very long.
It was really scary to wake up every morning to prepare for school, especially when there's an assignment from my math teacher 😂. When I graduated from high school, I thought that was the end of all these choking assignments with deadlines. I was wrong; at the university, it got even worse.
I am a student at the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture in Umudike, and I wake up as early as possible to round up an assignment I was unable to finish the previous day. My day starts very early to enable me to meet up with all that's required of me as a student.
The choking assignments with very close deadlines can be frustrating; imagine having assignments on three different courses and all to be submitted on the same day, same time. When the workload becomes too much, you try to meet the deadline while also attending to other activities.
I attend lectures every day of the week; I only have Saturdays and Sundays as my free days, but I still don't enjoy my free days as I enrolled for a tutorial on some courses here on campus. Saturdays and Sundays are my only free days, so my tutorial classes are held on these days in order not to interfere with lectures.

Some days we have lectures back-to-back from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.; if some lecturers are allowed, they may even want to exceed 6 p.m. Work and school days are really stressful and exhausting.
During the holidays, I was with my family at home, and I ate whenever I wanted, unlike in school. I can't eat whenever I want as the food is not available or I am in class, so I am left with no other choice than to go for junk food. If I am to be completely honest, I wish for the holiday to be extended.
