Summary - 10 things students need to say to themselves
We all have been there. The life in which all you should do is actually study study study. It a strange new world where every problem seems to be the most critical problem on earth. And every seconds seem like torture but when you think about it, it was the best time of your life.
However in this life (student life), you will faced some of the most challenging task in life. Hopefully these words will help you cope with the situation.
Listed below are 10 of the most common situation faced by students. And of course its corresponding responses. Just say it out loud when you are stuck in that situation.
When you are feeling lazy to study
- If I don’t study now, I will have to do it later. At least now.. I will have more time and can study with minimum concentration
When you are doing something else besides studying
- This isn’t helping
When you fail an exam
- Wow.. failure sucks. Now where exactly can I improve
When you succeed
- I will definitely remember this feeling. Now where exactly did I do right?
When you are shy to ask questions in the classroom
- Years from now, I most probably won’t meet these people again my entire life. What they think won’t matter then, and should not matter now.
When you have that butterfly in your stomach just before the exam
- I’ve done what I can, and I shall fail or succeed entirely up to my preparation. Nothing else. So get off me you silly butterfly
When you are so busy with your study, it overwhelm you.
- Stop right there.. Breathe. Let me do this one at a time. In the end, everything will be done.
When you have so much free time
- This is not supposed to happen. Either I am extremely efficient or I’m missing 2 or 3 classes
When you think you just can’t study anymore.
- I better rest. There is no such thing as information overload, it’s just that I’m tired. My brain is better than this.
When you have so many problems, you think your head is going to explode
- Millions of galaxy, each with millions of stars, each possibly with a series of planet orbitting, and assuming one of the planet may have millions of people like earth, that will total up to almost infinite amount of people, each with their very own problem. How can my problem be any bigger than this.

- I wonder -
Any other situation I might miss?
——— Personal Note ———-
I think you would agree that distraction work at its most efficiency during studying time. Suddenly there’s your favorite songs playing in the radio, or friends coming to chat. I’m not sure why, maybe because deep down we always prefer to do other things besides studying.
During my time, my only distraction is Internet Relay Chat (IRC). I actually almost fail one of my subject due to this. Anyway I learnt my lesson the hard way
