Learning? or Drooling?

If anyone has been to school you’ve had at least one day in the span of minimum a month, where you can’t keep your eyes open for the life of you. The brain is telling the body that you need to wake the hell up and pay attention to what’s going on and does your body listen? if left to nature no it won’t. Your eyelids will feel like someone is pulling them down with 2 ton weights, turning you into a drooling zombie right smack in the middle of class. Not only does this kind of mental drowsiness lead to sharpie mustaches on your face, and cartoon genitalia scribbled all over your notes and assignments, but your grades drop as well.

But what are we supposed to do? especially as a university student stress is knocking at your doorstep every 5 seconds. The kind of stress that makes you lose more hair then you would in chemotherapy and drinking so many energy drinks your cartoon comparison would be Thumper from Bambi. It’s a privilege to be a student, but at the same time it’s a curse, turning students into medical advertisements, showing the bright side of being a student, the future ahead of us.. but at the end of the ad revealing that side effects are drowsiness, depression, heart irregularities, sleep deprivation and a knack for studying an unhealthy amount of time.

Fuck our lives.

  1. Hey, this speaks to my soul, very emotional and touching… The last part literally. What’s behind the post-it-note agony, what’s that face of yours? Like show your true self, show it to me. Trust. Be at peace in the knowledge of caring.
