Does anyone just get frustrated with life cause I am.
And one of the things that is frustrating me at this point is school, like I don’t even get it?!
Studying is definitely something else. I’m so frustrated at this point. Why can’t the things I read stick?!
I’ve tried practically everything in the book.
Scramming ❌
Voice notes ❌
Read and take notes ❌
Read for 30 minutes to an hour and rest for 5 to 10 minutes and continue ❌
Getting someone to coach me❌ etc
There are more but it just doesn’t seem to StIcK?!!! Wtf?!!
I’m literally tired.
I’m just tired.
And another annoying thing is just seeing your friends or other people that don’t even need to stress themselves as much as I do when it comes to studying doing little to nothing and still coming tops.
Like what is wrong with my own brain?
Yea I get people are different but is it so frustrating for me?!
I’m tired, like I’m so so tired.
Maybe school is not for me.
Maybe it’s really not my thing cause I don’t get.
This is practically a rant post and all cause I really want to let my frustrations out.
I just came out from an exams a few hours ago and it wasn’t nice at all. An exams of 3 hours to answer 4 questions from 6 was suddenly changed to answer 4 questions out of 6 in 1 hour 30 minutes. How does that make sense?
How? HOw?? HOWWWW?!!!
And the faculty’s excuse was covid-19 protocol or what ever.
The person that came up with that must not be okay I swear. He or she must be high on something.
The public university is a fucked up place and I wouldn’t advise anyone to go to one. After being at home for about 10 months, they suddenly call off strike and set exams to start in 2 weeks after the strike was called off.
No time to ensure students get into school mode and everything nothing!
Infact FUCK ASUU!
Fuck the FeDERal GOverNmenT of NigEria!!
Fuck Uniyo LAwsaN!!!
Fuck COVID-19!!!!
Just come and be frustrating people.
I’m just tired. So so tired. For the past few weeks I’ve been really stressed, I hardly sleep, extremely caffeinated, weary with eye bags, lost my appetite and what not.
And they didn’t have the common decency to tell us that they would change our usual method of writing exams?!
I’m just done. Just done.
Does anyone struggle with this? Studying and all?
If you do how do you cope?
Any tips? Cause I think I’ve tried almost everything in the book.

February 3, 2021 at 1:47 amExactly!, it’s like we are talking to walls. No amount of complain really changes anything. It can be really frustrating 🤦🏾♀️

February 3, 2021 at 10:37 amWhile in school there were very few times I slept through the night and my weekends were mostly spent at the library. I read my eyes out. To get something to stick in my brain I had to go through it at least five times. With my big head I thought I should have a big brain but that is probably not how it works.
On the other hand, my roommate who was also my classmate almost never read. He’ll just skim through his notes – which only him understood – for a couple of hours before exams and come out with better grades.
To say I was frustrated would be to put it lightly.
However, My roommate forgot almost everything about the same course he scored an A within months after the exams.
Fast forward 10 years after our graduation, I am a way better professional. Turns out that difficult brain retained a lot.
I’ve learnt in the course of my life that a lot of very frustrating experiences are usually very rewarding.
Keep pushing.
PS I’ve not stopped reading since then. It’s been very rewarding. But I still hate reading for exams though 😂.

February 1, 2021 at 6:17 pmWait, Fuck Uniuyo LawsaN??😂😂😂😂. I think you should make use of your past questions, check those topics that are frequently asked and focus on those areas too. Goodluck dear🙏🏾❤.
Geraldine Akpabio
February 3, 2021 at 1:51 amThank you so much for the advice Janet😊❤️. I do read through past questions and all but maybe I’ll pay attention to them more now that you’ve pointed it out😘.

February 1, 2021 at 8:39 pmFor what it’s worth I hope you come to a point where you see this horrible Situation as a failing of an ableism system and institution rather than a problem with your reading and comprehension, nothing about how the academia has handled the transmission from student learning before and after the pandemic , no care no grace and certainly no regard for your health … you’re not the problem a very faulty system is .

February 3, 2021 at 2:39 pmThe whole system is some serious cycle of frustration. Always having enough creativity to produce stress and full dumb when it comes to listening to our needs

February 3, 2021 at 6:24 pmDisappointments and other stressors are part of life. You can however moderate them by adjusting your satisfaction preferences to fit peculiar environments.
The less you expect from your university, the less your frustrations.
Geraldine Akpabio
February 25, 2021 at 4:03 amI never thought of it that way 🤔. I’ll look into that.
