Ramadan+Exams Crash Out

Hey and welcome to 'diryofanoverthinker'. Today I’m going to talk about something every Muslim student can relate to: the struggle of studying during Ramadan.

How is anyone supposed to prepare for a million tests ( especially in Grades 10–12 like, what even is that workload?) while fasting? And make Ibaadah? It’s so hard. The heat, the exhaustion, the constant cycle of school, revision, iftar, taraweeh, and then waking up for suhoor… it genuinely feels like I’m about to crash out.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy my very real Ramadan crash-out.

Studying/Homework

Let me just start by saying: whoever made my exam timetable clearly had something against us. Because why am I writing two tests ( both equally hard and equally important) on the same day? And then, as if that’s not enough, teachers keep moving tests around because “we didn’t cover enough of the syllabus” to write them when we were supposed to.

On top of that, they’re still giving us homework that takes forever, as if we don’t have three tests the next day and somehow need to find time to revise, rest, and actually be good Muslims during Ramadan. Everyone is exhausted all the time. The fasting, the late nights, the early mornings it’s a lot.

And then when we try to complain, they compare us to the Muslims at Badr. Like… guys. Please. We’re just trying to survive Grade 10 and not get dropped out of subjects . 😭

Ramadan (in general)

All of this is honestly ruining my Ramadan vibe. Between the teachers and some classmates who seem determined to rage-bait me all day, I’m running on absolutely zero energy at this point.

But on the weekends, when I’m at home (even though I still have schoolwork ) it feels so much better. It actually feels like Ramadan. The calm, the slower pace, the chance to rest a little and focus on my Ibaadah. So at least there’s that.

Of course, some days I feel like I’m slacking Islamically because I’m just so tired. But I’m trying , and I think that’s what really matters. After all actions are based on their intentions.

And honestly, the main thing getting me through all of this right now is that I’m going for Umrah. That’s definitely something to look forward to. No matter how stressful school gets, knowing that I’ll be there soon makes everything feel better.

So yeah that's my crash out, hopefully some of you guys are doing better with all this than me. Thank you so much for reading my bloggg

until next time
