How do I spend my recess time in school?

It was not a good day today. I have been experiencing some confusion and a detrimental schedule in the university. I wasn't able to do the task I should have done because my mind was flooded with too much information. I was researching our activities about programming and I tried my best to understand it, yet I understood too little. I made a presentation in Canva composed of 30 slides. To create something like that was really hard especially if you know too little.

The presentation happened earlier even if we don't have a schedule since they adjust it. There was a conflict in our schedule and with our professor in that particular subject. At first, we thought Tuesday would be vacant, but it's not anymore. We are now adjusting our schedule and time. Goodness! I can't keep up right now so my online activities are severely affected. Thankfully, I can online and read some articles here so that I still have an engagement in the community.

Oh, my hands are still typing about what happened because I haven't moved on yet. I felt like my whole body was cracking and melting. I tried to write in Hive and upvoted some blogs too. I cannot fulfill what I needed to do there since my resource credits are so poor. I actually powered up last night so that my activity would be good. Like I can comment, upvote and reblog. Writers in Hive are amazing. I think I found a user who I am so well-connected with in his articles.

Right now, I just wanted to highlight why recess is so important in school and university. Some of you like recess in the canteen more than waking up in the morning to attend the first class. We were all excited when the break time came and we couldn't wait for our teacher to go out. As if the whole class are partying and winning a huge prize from a bet. I honestly love recess and break time since that is the only time when we can review notes.

What are your moments during recess?

Recess is the equivalent of joy for kids like me during elementary and high school days. Who wouldn’t be fond of eating your favorite snacks available in the canteen? There are pancakes, cookies, egg sandwiches, and hotdogs with a lot of cheese. Yes, we have hotdogs with cheese in our canteen available and they sold it for ₱15 only.

Whenever we have a good time, my classmates would buy a big pizza and that will serve as our snacks. But the pizza is not that crunchy and big because it was Mr Mappy. Wait, was it Mr Mappy? Oh yeah, I spelled it correctly. This brand of pizza is very famous here since it was very affordable and usually the whole class would buy 2 pizzas. These two pizzas will be cut into how many contributed.

How important was recess to your schooling?

I think it was very important because recess gives us time to eat food and sustain the drainage of our energy. When you study for 3 to 4 hours straight without a break, I think your brain cannot understand what are things being discussed by your teacher. I haven't tried not to eat in recess because if I do, I know I cannot participate in class. I was an active student back then so class participation is very important. Are you like me as well?

Recess will allow students to feel refreshed and feeling good. I know someone in class who didn't eat in recess for the whole day, just the lunch itself. I noticed how he struggled to understand the lessons and he was not active at all. How could he if he has no energy to exert? That's why recess must be quite longer than 10-15 minutes. I think 20 minutes would be sufficient enough to cover the entire break time.

How did I spend my recess time?

I think this depends on the day and the current event in school. However, I would take a break and eat with friends in our favorite spot in school which is the garden we cultivate in TLE. The place was full of newly sprouted seeds, fruitful plants and vegetables. It was actually awesome because it was not hot there either.

But when I needed to be alone, I would go to the library and read books while I was eating. In that way, I can gain the peace I want and the whole point of being alone was satisfied. How pathetic it was if you looked at me before because I was really so thin. I am enriched with vitamins and minerals, but my metabolism was fast enough to burn my energy and fats.

I really enjoyed recess time in school. How I missed that I haven't had one since the pandemic happened. I guess when the face to face happened in our university, the food system would be changed drastically. The prices would go up as well. My goodness, I can imagine how pricey the snacks and meals are in the school now. But, all these things would not be enough to change my mind that recess time is the best.

Thank you sponsors for staying until now despite of everything happened in the community and market prices.
