A very big disappointing situation (23-01-2026)

I woke up this morning already tired, mentally preparing myself for a long lecture at school. I noticed my laptop was still on,I had to put it off first.

The sun was barely up when I rushed out of the house, earphones in, replaying voice notes and half-reading my notes like a “serious” student. Missing that class was not an option… or so I thought.

When I got to school, the campus was buzzing as usual

—students dragging their feet, some looking motivated, others clearly forced out of bed by life. I walked straight to the lecture hall, only to see small clusters of students standing outside instead of going in.

That was the first red flag.

“Have you heard?” A friend asked, trying—and failing—to hide her smile.

“Heard what?” I replied, already suspicious.

“The lecture has been cancelled.”

For a few seconds, I just stood there, processing. All that early-morning struggle… for nothing? I should have been annoyed, but honestly, joy entered my body like fresh Wi-Fi.

Since we were already in school, going back home felt pointless. So we did what any reasonable students would do—we stayed back to gist.

We found a shady spot under a tree near the faculty building. One gist led to another. First, we complained about the lecturer. Then we moved to campus drama—who is dating who, who failed what course, and the mysterious guy who always wears a suit to 8 a.m. classes. Someone bought snacks, and suddenly it felt like an unplanned picnic.

At some point, we laughed so loudly that people turned to look at us. But we didn’t care. For once, there was no rush, no notes to copy, no slides to screenshot. Just vibes, friendship, and stories that got funnier each time they were retold.

By the time we finally left school that afternoon, I realized something: sometimes the best days aren’t the productive ones. They’re the unexpected breaks—the cancelled lectures, the random gists, the moments you didn’t plan but end up remembering the most.

And honestly? If every lecture were cancelled like that… I wouldn’t complain.
