 I just wanna\nlay in my bed<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Extracted from Lazy song by Bruno Mars<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, thanks a lot Bruno Mars for this song! It is very much related with what students feel today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To accomplish the duty as a student, lots of things need to be put into consideration. Students are often busy with ‘tons’ of assignments to submit and classes to attend, also not to forget their personal life affairs. Yet, 24 hours a day was given and it is still not enough. Why? It is because the unwanted \u02dcspecial guest always demands for more attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, who do you think the \u02dcspecial guest here refers to?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0153Dear laziness,\nIm begging you. Please go away.\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh no, stop! If you think begging is effective to dispel your laziness, then you are so wrong. You create space for negative things to take control of the body. Soon, it will lead you to stressful and gloomy day. End up you will be lying on your bed and abandon all the assignments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0153Weekend,\nweekend, why quickly end?\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, time goes on by its nature and does not change at all. You juggle with personal life matters, your duty as a student and worrying about the money to support your study. Trying to manage all these things at once will make you unaware of what happened around you. Surely you would feel stressed, but it is normal. However, if you manage your time wisely, then stress would not even dare to come and give you a visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harun Johari, an excellent student majoring in shariah<\/em> law, recently shared a few tips at the Appreciation Ceremony for Scholarship Receiver by Tamanni Project, regarding how he managed his time prudently. He is a son to his parents, a husband to his wife, a father to his kids and a student to his lecturers. However, 24 hours a day is more than enough for him to give his full commitment of carrying out his responsibilities and live a happy life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0153You enter the university to study and seek knowledge. So, this is a great opportunity for you to study deeper about yourself too. Grab it and learn more about being the best version of you,\u009d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, he encouraged students to avoid doing assignments and studying at the very last minute as it will become a burden later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also put an emphasis on the connection between man-man and man-God that students tend to ignore when they are going through a hectic day in their life. \u0153You must be concerned about your relationship with human beings and Allah. Moreover, the most crucial thing is to put Allah on top of everything. Then only you will realise that everything which is impossible for you is not impossible to The Almighty,\u009d said Harun Johari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Normally,\nstudents would keep on repeating the same routine every day. Therefore, why not\ntry to switch off the autopilot mode of your mind and take a short escape from\nyour ordinary yet so busy life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many ways to relieve stress such as reward yourself with savoury foods. Also, you can have movie time or coffee time with your friends and strengthen the bond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you feel like your mind is full of worries, then you can visit places with beautiful scenery. Literally, you should get yourself an \u02dcinner peace to clear your mind of negativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0153Come on inner\npeace, I dont have all day.\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alfred Bester once said, \u0153The mind is the reality. You are what you think.\u009d Therefore, stop whining \u0153ugh, life is so hard being me,\u009d and change it to \u0153my life is brilliant,\u009d in order to help you obtain happiness throughout your busy days.***<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
