A student at the Nigerian Army College of Nursing has sparked widespread reactions online after sharing a tearful video about her difficulty in concentrating on her studies.
Identified on TikTok as @adeshpretty, the young lady opened up about her frustration, revealing that while she could spend hours on her phone without any issues, the moment she attempted to read, sleep would take over.
In the emotional clip, she lamented:
“Please help me! Imagine, I have been sitting here for two hours, just pressing my phone, and my exam is on Monday!”
She then panned the camera to show her untouched books, highlighting her struggle to stay focused.
“Whenever I’m on my phone, I enjoy myself. But the moment I try to read, sleep comes. God have mercy! Nursing school is not a joke. God help me focus on my books!”
Her post quickly resonated with many, especially students who could relate to the battle between distractions and studying.
Reactions and Support From Netizens
In her caption, she made a heartfelt appeal to social media users, asking for prayers as she navigates the tough demands of nursing school. She humorously suggested that she might have been better off choosing a different course.
“Please don’t scroll past! This might seem funny, but deep down, I need your prayers. Nursing is no joke! Maybe I should have gone for Computer Science instead.”
The video has since gained traction, with many students and professionals in the medical field sharing their experiences and offering words of encouragement. Some advised her to set small study goals, while others recommended study techniques like the Pomodoro method—a strategy that involves focused studying with short breaks.
