“Life”
The alarm blared, pulling Suha from a deep sleep. She slapped it off, a yawn escaping her mouth. “Another school day.” She had planned her morning down to the minute: a quick review of her English notes, then getting ready, and finally, a calm breakfast. A perfect start.
But then she remembered. Her history teacher prepared a “test” for the first period.
From last night, she keeps wondering what's “the thing” she doesn't remember.
She hadn't expected it. Her “careful plan” for a relaxed English review is now useless. She'd have to scramble to remember key dates and names for history.
It wasn't just big things that changed. It was always the little ones.
Like how she'd decided to wear her favourite blue scarf, only to find a stubborn stain on it when she pulled it out.
Or how she’d planned to walk to school with her friend, only for her friend to text at the last minute saying she was running late.
Suha sighed as she got out of bed. It felt like “life” was constantly throwing small curveballs.
You set up a perfect schedule, you make a solid plan, and then something tiny shifts.
Like a sudden change in a project deadline. A sudden cancellation of an event you were looking forward to. A sudden downpour when you'd planned an outdoor activity.
She often wondered about it. “Why couldn't things just go smoothly, exactly as imagined?”
It seemed like no matter how much you prepared, how much you hoped, life just had its own ideas. You had to learn to roll with it, to figure out what to do next when your first idea didn't work out.
There was no point in getting too upset because it happened all the time. You just had to adapt, find a new way to get things done, or have a new way to spend your time.
Like She picked out a different scarf, a practical grey one. The day was starting differently than she planned, but she knew she'd figure it out. She always did.

/Sweat/ That's why, people should ALWAYS plan ahead of time for literally EVERY POSSIBILITY that could happen. So that nothing messes up. I always do that, plan for every possibility. That's literally common sense

so true... life doesn’t always go smoothly, but we have to learn how to keep moving anyway

Or get multiple plans, that's the best option. /Sweat/
