Broooo...
gather around.
I have a tragic story to tell. A tale of hope, desperation, and a total lack of actual studying.
Welcome to the chronicles of a 22-year-old final-year engineering student (aka walking stress ball) who genuinely believed that osmosis works on books.
📍Day 1: The Spark of Genius (Or Whatever That Was)
It started during exam week—aka the Hunger Games of college.
I was sipping chai at 2 AM, staring at my Fluid Mechanics book like it just insulted my entire family. I had a moment. A thought. A brainwave.
“What if… I just sleep with the book under my pillow? Like literally. Let the knowledge flow in silently, peacefully. Like Bluetooth download.”
Yes, I know. I was stupid. But also hopeful 😭
😴 Night 1: Book is under the pillow. Confidence? 100%.
I woke up feeling nothing. No new formulas, no hidden wisdom. Just a weird crick in my neck and a dream about falling into a pipe.
Also me: “Maybe it takes time. Knowledge needs to marinate.”
💀 Night 3: Still dumb. But now with dark circles.
I started whispering chapters to the book like it was my crush.
Me at 1:37 AM:
“Please baby, Chapter 6… just slide into my subconscious.”
Also me:
“Google says the brain is most active during sleep. Then WHY am I waking up knowing less than before??”
🧠 Day 5: I started hallucinating Newton
Not joking.
I woke up mid-dream and thought Isaac Newton was in my room.
He was judging me. Just… shaking his head slowly.
Bro wasn’t angry. Just disappointed.
📉 Exam Day: Brain = Buffering
Went to the exam hall like a soldier walking into battle.
Looked at the question paper.
First reaction: 🫠🫠🫠
- "When did we even learn this??"
- "Is this the right subject??"
- "Is this… Sanskrit??"
Tried to recall anything from the book I had been SLEEPING on. Nada. Zilch. Zero. Even the cover page betrayed me.
🤡 Plot Twist: My friend, who ACTUALLY studied, aced it.
He saw my face after the exam and casually asked,
"Tu kya padha tha?"
I replied with tears in my eyes:
"Bas… neend aur bharosa."
🤕 Bonus Consequences:
- Got mild neck sprain from sleeping weird.
- Lost 7 days of actual study time.
- Mom called me "research ka ullu."
- Dog stole my notes. (Unrelated but still painful.)
Moral of the Story:
- Sleeping with your book doesn’t make you smart.
- Sleeping on your syllabus will only give you back pain and regret.
So yeah, if you’re planning to absorb knowledge via pillow WiFi—don't.
Just open the damn book.
Or at least open YouTube and watch a 3x speed video like the rest of us 🤡
Tag a friend who still thinks sleeping on books helps. Let’s all fail together but in style 😂📚🔥
