A typical morning of a uni student

The searing pain in my head woke me up. I felt as if a thousand nails have been drilled into my head. Ignoring the constant pain wasn't a option.

So there I was, deciding whether to hit the snooze button again, or just get it over and done with. I knew there was work to be done; Questions waiting to be answered; Past year papers to be completed. Exams starts the next day. So much work, so little time.

Finally, I willed my unwilling body to get up. I drew the curtains slightly and a bright ray of light blinded me momentarily. I rubbed my eyes, struggling to regain my sight. Slowly, it came back. Scanning my room quickly I saw piles of books everywhere. Books upon books; Notes stacked on top of each other; Pens and pencils covered my floor. Some of the notes I didn't even know I have until a few days ago. The mess in my room served as a constant reminder that exams were around the corner, hiding in the shadows. Threatening to pounce on me anytime. The suspense and anxiety involved in the whole ordeal this exams was overwhelming. Affecting students physically as well as mentally. Some deal with it like its nothing; Some shiver in fear by the shear thought of sitting in a big cold hall facing a blank paper, equipped with nothing but a pen.

Shoving that thought aside, I dragged myself out of bed, still feeling groggy from studying till 5am the night before. Grabbed my tooth brush and shampoo and headed to the washroom. As I opened my room door, a blast of cold wind greeted me - with a sneaky grin.

"Darn, another cold day", I thought.

So then I went into the washroom, in a half awake, zombie-like state, essentially brain dead. Shower time! I turned on the tap without realizing that it was set to cold water instead of the usual hot water it was normally set at. Immediately, the icy cold water hit me without warning. Shocked by the sudden blast of freezing cold water, I did a little jump, fortunately landing safely back on my two feet.

Well, at least that woke me up.

After the shower, I felt much better. The pain in my head slowly subsided. The nails dropped out of my head, 1 nail at a time. I was feeling more alert now.

I drew my curtains, completely this time. Allowing the sun to brighten my room, as well as my day.

Finally my day starts!

I turned on my laptop, took out my course books and notes. With a hot cup of coffee by my side, I was ready for what was in store for me today!

Finals! Here I come!
