The Fun In Between

YEAH!  LIVE LIFE!!!!

There’s something about the time when you finish writing an exam and wait for at least half an hour on the school premises to be with your friends before going home which makes sitting for  the exam really worth it. Some people have gone as far as to say that exam time is much more fun than holidays because during the holidays, you hardly get to see your friends, surprisingly enough. Why is this particular period so enjoyed by us, the teens who always complain that studying is the bane of our lives? It’s because that half an hour of relaxing with your buds, before grudgingly going home and cramming, is precious to us. Not only do we get to spend time with our own group, we also see our juniors and seniors, who are also our friends and probably have exams at the same time. Playing football or shooting hoops helps us relish our short periods of freedom before going home. We can complain passionately about the difficulty of our papers to each other, and even tear the question papers up in defiance together, for who listens to us and supports us so well after a tough exam other than the people who have taken it with us? This is also the time when we sneak our mobiles to school, to exchange and stock up on songs to listen to after our freedom from those evil papers, and to take pictures of each other so as to carry home memories to remind ourselves of the fun we have during exams, which makes all the memorizing of hateful Chemistry equations and harrowing practices of Trigonometric calculations so much more bearable.  No doubt studying for our exams is no entertainment for us, but the thought of being with our gangs, of sharing even the tiniest bit of news, of running around trying to catch a teasing guy friend - yes, all this helps to fill us with positive thoughts of finishing an exam quickly and racing out to be with our friends. It sure does make the exam time fly by much faster!
