A Student Trying to Balance School Like a Demigod in Hogwarts
Hey there! I’m Haiqa, an IGCSE student trying to survive school, exams, and my endless obsession with books. Some days, I feel like Percy Jackson—just winging it and hoping for the best. Other days? I’m more like Ron Weasley staring at his homework, hoping it’ll do itself (spoiler: it never does).
If you’ve ever felt like school is one long, impossible quest—welcome to the club! I started this blog because I wanted to share my experience of juggling schoolwork with my love for reading (and trying to not fail at either).

A (Slightly Embarrassing) Personal Story
At the start of exam season, I tried going full Hermione mode—making schedules, color-coding notes, and acting like I had my life together. But let’s be honest, I’m more of a “let’s wing it and hope for the best” kind of person. Soon, I realized I was burning out faster than a demigod on a never-ending quest.
So, I made a new plan: study smart, but don’t overdo it. Now, I take strategic breaks where I read a chapter (or five) between study sessions. It turns out, my brain actually works better when I don’t treat studying like a never-ending prophecy I need to solve.
What’s Coming Up?
⚡ Time management hacks that don’t require magic or godly powers.
⚡ Books that’ll keep you motivated through exams (or at least help you escape reality for a bit).
⚡ Why Percy and Ron would probably fail school without Annabeth and Hermione.
⚡ How to avoid academic burnout—because even heroes need rest days.
So if you’re a student who loves books but also needs to pass their exams without losing their mind, stick around! I can’t promise magic or demigod powers, but I can definitely help you find a balance.
Until next time—study smart, read often, and don’t forget to take snack breaks (even heroes need fuel!)
