Vanquished
The drowsiness attacks from all directions. My eyes fight the battle to remain open, even if they are aware it is futile. I make furtive glances at my textbook, willing what I am reading to stick. I have a test tomorrow, and sleep isn't a part of the syllabus. I struggle to keep awake, almost shouting every word I read in a frantic attempt to make sure that I'm understanding what I'm reading. Even the midnight candle scoffs, my lantern abandons me, as I curse the electricity and turn on my back up torch, telling myself that the reward for studying totally outweighs the costs. If I was to really consider that statement, I should have read more before now. I shouldn't be juggling three topics in one night. Letters turn to numbers and the humerus begins to look like the femur. My fight is becoming more.desperate as I drink even more coffee to get my body to stay awake. But my body has become immune to that. I've kept this vigil for the past one week, believing I would be able to see it through till the very end. But I was wrong. You can cheat many things, but you can't cheat nature, I remember my mom say as my eyes close in the climax of a great battle. Nature is the victor, and I, the vanquished. Good night! *A five minute freewrite using whatever came to mind.*

That was interesting for a five minute prompt and i can definitely relate to sleep vs. Studies. I've been constantly losing that battle since I've started chemistry
😂
I find chemistry easy tho, but physics??? That's a battle I haven't won yet
Honestly. I don't know how people understand Physics but hate Chemistry. Is that normal? I'm glad I'm done with all that calculation and formula stuff.
😂😂😂
They are more on looking for the other worldly solution compared to the practicality in chemistry, i think that's why
I like both though. Both sciences describe each other so you can never set them apart
The battle between physics and chemistry will never end 😂
It's not a battle :""" just... a misunderstanding?
"...sleep isn't part of the syllabus..."😂😂😂 A friend of mine fainted once after observing a whole week without sleep because he wanted to cultivate a night reading habit. Things have to be in balance
Things seriously have to be in balance😭😭 But sleep should be a part of the syllabus🤝😓 Night reading is only for the brave.
Five minutes is nice but the community is about 10 minutes. I don't notice much difference between your 5 and 10 minutes. 👍🍀
Noted. I was a little drowsy so I just wrote a little
👍
