Study holidays , what are they really?

Being part of Anna University , technically sucks , but the only fact that makes all other college jealous is our ridiculously long study holidays !

Yes. If we ignore our semester practicals that happens ad mist the holidays , we get almost a month off.. 

The problematic thing that the others don't get is that  study holidays comes with a tag of its own , it's "studying" time. So going out , or watching TV or staying online all night and morning ; technically my holiday routine doesn't please my parents. 

Okay , Stop judging already , pleasing parents part is sort of an over reaction . I mean when have we ever done anything to please them? but i happened to have some highly intolerable friends who update on what they study and asking me when m studying and worst of all- advising or asking advice! 

I might seem as this tensed girl before exam getting all my last minute doubts covered up , but that doesn't give them the right to judge me as a whatever. 

It takes my best friends understand that part of me because they know i give a crap about exams only the last day ; so, until then its a huge misery to put up with people.

Well, i know all of us do 'the 'l finish so many units in so many days' thing . It's like the spider story , Robert the Bruce one,where he notices the determined actions of the tiny spider to create its meticulous web despite its innumerable failures along the way. We try and try until we want to make the Utopian vision come true one fine day.  

But as mentioned , it is definitely Utopian and it never comes true. 

And parents! they do tend to get a little too disturbed . Even though they've come to a place where they understand that we are in college and how according to them we've magically matured overnight , they still have this tendency in them to give us push or two during this time of the year. I dunno what pleasure they get , 'cause they clearly know their kid never studies. So for the joy of it , we get piles of book and stack them to fool them and they, though they know too well that we didn't bother to study are contented that we at least made an effort to take the books out for their sake. Funny world i say ! 

This study holidays , for me , is getting messed up worst of all. First , the subjects! Which idiot even frames the syllabus for bio-tech pursuing engineering students here? 'Cause i know I'd do better job at it. Chemical engineering subjects clearly as the name suggests are chemical engineering ones! I understand that one needs the basis of it , but not the whole damn package ! 

So basically , we know nothing! We were able pass (or rather ace) the subjects because, one, we knew the whole question paper( with choice) the previous evening and other being that our teachers were distinguished nutjobs that the gibberish in our paper somehow made perfect sense to them ! 

With all this running over my head , some part inside me asks me study . the other side strongly disapproves. Its been days since this internal chaos has begun. So , study holidays . what are they really? A pain in the ass!

and from the fact that i took time to write this piece of nothing and how sluggishly I've been in front of my TV watching a movie after another on a row , and of course watching my favorite shows all over again out of utter joblessness , you now know the clear winner. 

All hail the other side !
