What Are Your Crazy Shower Thoughts While Studying?
Exam times can be incredibly stressful, not only on our minds but also on our bodies. Let’s delve into the inner workings of our body during these trying periods and the crazy thoughts going through each of our bodily systems.
The Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT):
During exam time, the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) plays a crucial role, but it doesn't often get much respect. According to a passage by Parth, the GIT feels overwhelmed. The brain, in its efforts to manage stress, increases acid secretion, leading to discomfort and digestive issues. Parth humorously comments on the frequent food intake and increased caffeine levels as contributing factors. The GIT stresses that it needs help in handling stress and dealing with increased load.
The Kidneys:
The kidneys face an additional strain during exam time. Parth's stress and high blood pressure lead to an increase in urine production. The kidneys are tired and under pressure, blaming the brain for causing their stress. They need more than just a break; they're dealing with a high volume of work and need support.
The Cardiovascular System:
The cardiovascular system is not faring any better. The stress hormone released by the brain causes blood pressure to soar, damaging organs and relationships. The heart and blood vessels feel the strain, and the other systems are blaming the brain for all the stress and issues. The cardiovascular system is warning that it’s time for a break, but the brain, struggling with information overload, seems unaware of the situation:
Ohh!! Wait Brain keeps releasing the stress hormones. My blood pressure is too high. I am damaging my own neighbors and they are blaming me because of you brain!The Eyes:
The eyes are another system suffering during exam time. Parth's near-constant work leaves the eyes exhausted and strained. They are overwhelmed with the amount of work being put on them and feel that Parth is neglecting them. The eyes are tired and just want to sleep, but they remain awake due to the stress and pressure:
Why is Parth taking so much work from me? Can't he see how tired I am? I just want to sleep, but I have been awake for 30 hours!The Brain:
The brain is at the center of the storm, dealing with the overwhelming amount of information and stress. It’s trying to remember and store new data, and its circadian rhythm is drastically altered. The brain is overburdened and struggling to meet Parth’s demands. It feels the blame from all the other systems and wishes for understanding:
What? Why are you blaming me? Look, I have to remember things continuously, store new data, recollect data that I had previously stored. My circadian rhythm is drastically changed. Please stop blaming me; I have a lot to take care of. Please try to understand!In the end, all these systems are in a state of mayhem. Each has its stresses and issues, and it’s only natural they are communicating their anguish. Exam times might be chaotic, but recognizing and understanding these processes can help us manage our stress better. So the next time you’re in the shower, pay attention to the craziness of your bodily systems—after all, it's part of the human experience!
