Summary:

You sit at your desk, staring at the clock on the wall. The second hand moves slowly, each tick echoing louder in your head. You thought you’d be finished with your assignment by now, but the words just won’t come together. You glance at your phone and see the time again—it feels like you’ve been sitting here forever, but in reality, it’s only been thirty minutes. The pressure builds because you know the deadline is coming. You try writing a few sentences, then erase them because they don’t sound right. Every time you look up, the clock seems to mock you, reminding you that time is slipping away. You start to wonder if it’s even worth pushing through, or if you should take a break to clear your head. Your hand hovers over your phone as you think about sending a message, just to let out some of your frustration.
