Only those who have experienced this can really talk about it, as they are the one who can really understand how weighty it can be. All what's been done in school on it's own is heavy enough, talk of lectures, impromptu test, billings, printings, seminars, presentations, assignments, projects and all. Now having to do and balance all of that right with one's life and responsibilities.
When I was in school, I didn't have much time for myself, I was always busy because I was so involved in so much. So much that I can't mention it all, I was the drama cord for my department, I was the asst drama cord for my institute fellowship as well, I was as well an exco in my church.
I was deeply involved in church stuffs. And on top of that, I was also involved in some other things that requires my time, presence and all. Thinking about it now, most of my days go like this, from home to school, and from school to meetings, fellowships, then to Church then back home.
There was no time to rest, most of our rehearsals were fixed at night or for night vigil's as we were always busy during the day time. It wasn't easy. And I still work, there are times, I have to go make frame for customers in town and will have to miss class or tests.
And it's not as if I can stop that too, cause I very well need money to survive in school, and as a guy I can't always call them at home. There are even times I take time off myself and miss class and just be at home resting. I have times I receive calls that there's class or test, but I wouldn't even get up, cause I'm too tired and stressed too.
School life ain't easy at all. Even if you are well to do, you will still experience some level of stress and all. There are a lot of times I go so broke and anytime something shows up in my account, I calculate it well and think if it's best to eat with it, pay for an handout, or pay for the contribution in fellowship.
It did stretch me, but then all of that added up together and forced me to grow while teaching me discipline and sacrifice. Education ain't easy, it comes with it's own weight, pressure and responsibilities. We just need to learn how not to collapse and carry it all without letting go of our dreams.
