Diarygame - 3/4/2025 | Do You Struggle to Eat During Examination Period? Read My Experience

Welcome, friends!

Someone told me they don't have time to eat during examination period. Then I had to pause and ask myself, "How is that even possible?"

For me, during examination period, I tend to stress eat. No, I do not joke with my food. In fact, I'd rather go to the examination hall without my glasses than go there without eating to my satisfaction.

So in the morning, I pulled out my leftover melon soup from the refrigerator, let it sit on the counter for about 45 minutes before warming it on the gas cooker. Ten minutes later, I downed the delicious melon soup with two wraps of foofoo.

We can now head to school.

While hurrying to catch the bus shuttle, since I was running late (thanks to food, of course), I could feel my belly bloating. I had to pray that it doesn't result in indigestion or a bowel movement. It was my first time combining waterleaf with melon and I wasn't ready to use the toilets in the girls' hostel. My last experience was a nightmare.

Four hours later, my stomach had settled and we were done with everything at school. While heading home with my friends, we had to stop by a provision store to get some snacks. The salesperson told us of the student pack available. So, we chose tigernut with chin-chin.

Item	Cost
A bottle of tigernut	₦1,500
A small plate of chin-chin	₦500
Total/per student pack	₦2,000 (11 STEEMs)

I might not be a huge fan of tigernut, but you see this particular one, it was so delicious. It almost made me lose my home training because I kept licking the sides of the bottle. My friend added water to filter out everything while educating us on how nutritious soybeans is and its benefits for students' brains. That was way of justifying why she had to lick everything out of her bottle. Lol.

In the evening, I stopped by my aunt's place. Tell me what I got served? Nigerian Fried Rice that has been to Harvard!!

My aunt has the habit of spoiling me with good food and gifts. So when I got invited to her place, I didn't expect less. Still, she was able to beat my expectation by giving me this to take home.

Life is sweet when you are a Nigerian student with good friends and aunts. Now, I can continue preparing for my next examinations unperturbed. I can feel my brain calm and able to focus.

Next time your have an examination, please do not neglect your food. Your body needs to stay nourished and your mind alert. Much love. ❤️
