When The Endless Summer Ends...

When The Endless Summer Ends...

We have been trained to get a vacation in the Summer and we were quite used to it.
We made plans and resolutions every Summer.
I planned to improve myself...
In video games...hah!
A fat friend of mine planned to exercise and reduce weight.
Our group planned to play football everyday.
Everything seemed smooth and achievable.
Engineering exams are conducted in the summer, needless to say we get a vacation in the rainy season.
Almost every plan seems difficult in the rainy season!

Endless Summer syndrome is a psychological situation when the summer doesn't seem to end.
Engineering exams are conducted for about the month...I know that's a long period.
But, it is like a vacation cause we get a lot of days for preparation between two consecutive tests!
( Say if we get 5 days, most people enjoy for 3 days and start their preparation on the 4th)
Though the time we spend studying and giving tests pass like a moment, the time we spend having fun seem neverending.

Let me clarify one thing...
Nobody plans to go for a picnic, read a book, or exercise in those resting days.
Our parents want us focused during those exam days, they'll never bear us reading a book other than that of exam's.
We can't afford to get injured in that season.
Exercise is a big no!
I don't need to tell you about the reaction of your parents if you tell them about your trip...
Believe it or not, those days are spent resting on the couch, watching TV and repeating chapter 1 over and over again!
( IDK why we spend more time on chapter one and the least time on the last chapter.
I remember me studying chapter 1 at least 3 times in the term and skimming through the last and that too on the day before the test)

Some people may experience that the process repeats after every test.
I think the main motto of conducting tests after a large gap is not letting students feel the absence of a vacation.
That is good in a way.
But it has a downside too!
We have a short official vacation after the exams get over...
When the summer is officially over!
Honestly, not more than a month.
And the plans where my fat friend wanted to exercise on the ground, spends his time watching series and animes.
The ground where our group wanted to play football is good for only the horses to stroll in. (Full of puddles)
Don't feel sad for us, we play football on the computer!

The remaining days are spent visiting grannies, nannies,uncles, aunts.
And Everytime we get asked about the exams...
Makes us contemplate that we didn't have a real vacation at all!
In the meantime, we get the reopening dates of the college.
That's it!

The vacation that started from the day the exams started comes to an end!
We think of resting on the last day...
But our Mom convinces us that we don't have good clothes to wear in the college and how badly we need them and takes us for shopping.

I know when my college will reopen.
I'm writing this on the last the day of the vacation.
I'll hopefully sleep all day but I'm getting the vibes that my Mom will take me to the shop with her.
Here ends the endless summer!
