Ever heard of Reader's Block?, of course I think you should, having known writer's block and Artist's block, one should also be conversant with the reader's block, I mean it's a very common thing.
So for the past few weeks I've been experiencing reader's block, not only do I not enjoy reading any materials online, I also find it difficult to derive joy or passion in studying my academic books.
Normally before any semester examination approaches, I usually get myself immerged in my books, thereby reading ahead of time so that I don't get caught up in the waves of just trying to cram everything few weeks to the exams.
But this semester has really been a rollercoaster for me.
I just found myself slipping and not being able to get myself back earlier before now, and even with exams timetable being out, I am still struggling in finding my drive to do that intense studying like I usually do.
I have no idea why but I think I am just going through the reader's block phase in my life and I really do not like this cause I have so much to cover in a week or less.

My upcoming examination is not even making matters any easy for me. Everytime I lay in bed, it keeps ringing in my mind that I have so much to do in such a short time, so I do not have the luxury of wasting any minutes of my time resting. It's frustrating and annoying coupled with the fact that I am struggling with this reader's block of a thing yet I have no option but to read.
There is a popular saying or lines we use to console ourselves, we will read, so that our school or exam will not make mess of us, I guess this is the stage I am currently, I have no joy in this books, I have really lost my passion for it but I just have to force myself and read so that my department will not make a mess of me.
I can't risk to let my guards down now, not in this final lapse, I have to struggle and beat myself up to do the things I ought to do, knowing fully well that after now, I can give myself all the luxury of resting and not bothering myself with reading for the next couple of weeks.
This is coming from a very tired Nigerian Student! Please if you come across any of them, they deserve some words of encouragement from you and even acts of encouragement too.
We are going through a phase that needs all the sparks of motivations we can possibly make use of🥺
And I use this opportunity to wish every Nigerian Student out there that is starting exams very soon, all the best in all the Papers, Amen!
