Hello my lovelies!
I feel like you haven't heard from me in a while. Can't really blame me though; life happens. And my life these past few weeks have been HECTIC! But God has seen me this far, and all I can say is that I'm grateful for all that He's done and is still doing in my life.
I'm now in my 11th week of school, meaning it's revision week and generally the last week of studies for the semester. And I guess I'm taking the time to just reflect on everything that's happened this semester.
I remember starting the school year with so much zeal and vim, wanting to stay ahead of my studies and learn from last year's mistakes. But all that mental positivity still couldn't prepare me for what was ahead.
How exactly do I describe 2nd year?
Well it's basically a whole new world compared to first year. I think first year was just a preparation stage but 2nd year honestly just came at me with full force. Labs, report after report, stacks of assignments one after the other. It really affected my study timetable because I would put all my attention on my assignments and not have enough time to go over the day's lessons. Then all that missed study sessions stacked up and I found myself not even understanding what we were doing in lectures. I mean, your girl's already struggling with the assignments, and now I didn't even have time to study.
I think we honestly need to petition the reduction of assignments they give us in school because honestly, my brain is dog-tired.
It got so intense guys, I'm not going to lie. I even reached the point where I had a mini breakdown. All that lack of sleep and stress just took a toll on me.
But don't worry guys, I bounced right back after a few minutes. Yes, only a few minutes. Because even though I was stressing out about everything, God reminded me that He was with me through everything and that there was absolutely no reason for me to lose hope. In the quietness, He spoke to my soul and cheered me up.
I know that there are so many students out there who are going through the same thing. And I just want you guys to know that talking to God really helps. Admitting all your feelings of worry and doubt to Him helps bring about His peace and strength. I 100% recommend that whenever you find yourself in a troubling situation, turn to God, because He is there for you through it all.
This post is quite short and I will update more on my 2nd year experience so far, but for now, I hope this little word of exhortation encourages you not to give up despite the hectic nature of university.
Have a blessed day lovies!
Stay blessed and stay a blessing
