"During my university days, I had stayed with two of my friends in the same room with me. Coincidentally we were are all in the same faculty. There is this belief that those who don't leave their hostel to read in the main campus especially at night are laggard. Been in my first year then, I never wanted to be tagged " a laggard" as I knew what I stand for but also I didn't really want to go the main campus with them because I felt it is not my thing to read in the campus as I felt more comfortable reading in the room when all had gone to bed.
So on that fateful day, I reluctantly followed my peers to the campus after much Persuasion to read throughout the night. We left at about 9.32pm that fateful day and I was heavily kitted with my armoury of academic materials which included voluminous physics text book by Halliday and my engineering mathematics. I had hope that I would cover as much with motivation of my peers when we get to the campus.
On getting to the campus, a female friend to my room mate came to join us asking for clarification on key areas she couldn't understand, after putting her through for over one hour. We then faced our book to unravel the business of the day. I barely read for one hour when "the call of mother nature" descended heavily on me. I tried standing and walking around all to no avail. I convinced myself to rest my head for about 30 minutes to refresh my brain. And that was how I found myself sleeping the whole night there. I even used the voluminous physics as a pillow support! When I woke up around 5.00a.m , I was angry with myself and I knew I had wasted my time."
Everyone must understand we have different body chemistry as what works for the goose might not work for the gander. Know what works for you and the best time you can gain maximum productivity from your brain while study.
I hope to deliberate more on this in the part 2.
