Every student’s plight- To stay awake in post-lunch sessions!

Every student’s plight- To stay awake in post-lunch sessions!

I’ll be honest! I wrote this article when I was sitting in my class after lunch. Trust me when I tell you that it doesn’t matter which subject is being taught but if you really did have a hearty lunch which was followed by a class session immediately, you’re kind of screwed.

There are three kinds of people in this situation:
1) The ones whose heads are dangling and their eyes are shut half way like broken garage doors.

2) The ones who try so hard to stay awake that they look like Dory from ‘Finding Nemo’.

3) The ones who just never give up and listen (atleast try!) to class no matter what: The lifesavers! Because they protect the rest of the students who are falling asleep from random questions asked by the professor!

And there are these exclusive ones –
THE HYPER ONE:
There is always that one friend who is not sleepy. Are they kind enough to understand our problem? Hell, NO! They sing romantic/lullaby songs (which weirdly work!). For example, if the song’s lyrics are “I’m so blinded by llloooovveeee”. Would they just sing that? Again, NO! They sing “I’m so blinded by ssslllleeeeepppp”. This trick just works! It’s like the time where you really have to use the restroom but you’re unable to and your friend starts talking about waterfalls, streams etc.
In my head: I wanna kill you! But this is funny! Now I wanna kill you more!

THE I-TRY-TOO-HARD:
There is this other guy who is stuck in a loop on restart mode for the entire period. This is what happens: eyes open..eyes close..chin resting on the hand slips down..eyes open..eyes close..chin slips down again…and this goes on and on. This is our turn to be the kind person and do we take the high road when we see this scenario? Nope! We point him out to all of our friends and have a good silent laugh! Good Show man, Good show!

THE SLEEPING BEAUTY:
This is the worst, mostly happens to someone in the last bench where the back rests against a wall. He is fast asleep, looks comfortable and peaceful. But wait, when has the universe ever allowed that to happen?
This poor fellow has his mouth wide open like an empty dried out well (To be honest, it’s empty because the water is kind of drooling on the outside :p). His head leaned back, so back that his adam’s apple wants to say hi to you. The professor calls out his name! You think that is embarrassing? What if he doesn’t wake up? The whole class turns around suspiciously … roaring laughter. Yeah! That woke him up!
(The universe: That was good entertainment! ** claps and an evil laugh**)

You can try splashing water on your face, guilt yourself to worry about your studies and even start scribbling somewhere in your book.
No matter what you do…

** The writer has fallen asleep; snore!**

So why don’t you comment your story that we can read it when we wake up :p
