The Hectic March

        Online college life turned out to be tougher than my expectations. I feel really stressed now, specifically in this March. There are so many things that I have to do at the same time. I find it difficult to divide the time between getting a rest and doing assignments. When I get hectic, I usually wake up in the morning and sit in front of my laptop for hours doing assignments or taking online classes. I'll take a short break if it's prayer time or a change in class hours, then I'll continue until late at night.

        I never imagined that I would have to go through all this. Even though I feel really hopeless at this point, I always have a motivation that will lift my spirits to go through the days. I motivate myself with “It's okay to feel tired and complain, but I have to take all the tasks slowly. Everything will be resolved too and I will be free in the next”. And another motivation such as “Allah does not burden me but according to my ability. Allah gives me this task because He believes that I am capable and strong to do it”. I think those two sentences are like a spell to me. If I don't motivate myself, I will be even more stressed. So from that I must have a motivation to keep me excited.

        Anyways, after doing all of the hustle and bustle, I will give myself a space to have fun and have a good time. Even though I feel so overwhelmed by the number of tasks, I can get through all of this one by one.
