The Big Decision (Exams Cancelled)
It's a known fact that the COVID-19 has
brought the world to a halt. Everyone was trying their best to make the most of
their time. Some people were renovating their houses; some were trying out new
recipes and some were studying for the exams. The majority of the students were
treating this quarantine period as their summer vacation. Perhaps a vacation
where you could do anything you want inside your house (Under the supervision
of your parents which makes it not very cool). Please don't get me wrong, being
able to spend time with your parents is a blessing. The phone usage of students
rose significantly resulting in parents telling students how our generation is
addicted to the technology. Every generation has pros and cons though. Social
media, web series, animes became the part of every student's life. But deep
down, every student knew that this was just an escape to forget the fact that
exams can be conducted by the university.
That's what the So,
Our
teachers had already informed us that the exams will be conducted one or the
other way. We had to attend the online classes in the lockdown. Due to the lack
of preparation for this situation, the online classes didn't seem as effective
as the real classrooms. No one was prepared for this; I don't blame the
authorities for that. No cars were running on the streets, no people on the
sidewalks, the shops were closed as well. Still, we were expected to complete
all the assignments and the projects and submit them before due. Most colleges
did the same thing.
One of
the engineering colleges wasn't ready to conduct online lectures for the
students because they thought classroom education has no substitute.
Eventually, they had to make provisions for the online lectures as the lockdown kept on extending.The days were quite monotonous at one point. Attending lectures, completing assignments consumed 25% of the day. Around the same time, the
Almost all
Indians use WhatsApp. Just like other platforms, it a place where a lot of
unverified news is found. Such news gets more forwarded than the authentic
ones. That is human nature.
On 7th May,
one of my friends forwarded me a video featuring a man who claimed to know the
decision of the University. In the video, he claimed that the exams will be
conducted just for the students in the final years of their respective
programs. That meant we won't be having any exams!
My friend told me not to forward it as he was
skeptical about the authenticity of the video. It was obvious; the news was too
good to be true.
On the 8th
of May, the official news was declared. There won't be any examinations for us!
I can't say
the students were really happy, they were just relieved to hear about the end
of their semester well in advance. No one likes those surprises of course…
The University did the right thing for the students. There were a lot of students locked down in their villages without any preparation. The exams for medical students were to be conducted. I know the medical students and the students who have to take the annual tests must be upset. But now we know how important it is for a country to have a strong and dependable medical staff!
So let us all cheer and support our medical
students as well who one day aspire to join the field.The University did the right thing for the students. There were a lot of students locked down in their villages without any preparation. The exams for medical students were to be conducted. I know the medical students and the students who have to take the annual tests must be upset. But now we know how important it is for a country to have a strong and dependable medical staff!
Fortunately
or unfortunately, the Semester was officially done for most of the students. We
can treat the coming days like our official summer vacations. You can do
anything you want in these days, staying inside our homes of course!
You can
read books, talk to the friends whom you haven't talked to lately, you can
learn a new skill or you can just have a great time with your family.
The reason I'm saying because once your college
hands out the schedule of online lectures for the next term, you'll think that
you just wasted time sleeping and worrying about what's going outside. I know
it's difficult not to think about it. But hey! It is what it is, it won't
change just because you're worried. You're young and you don't deserve to worry
about the things that you aren't in control of.
Focus more
on your mental health cause that's the way you can help yourself stay cheerful
during these times. Keep yourself busy with something or other because I
promise you, you won't get this amount of time again in your lifetime.
Stay
indoors, take care of your family, and hope that everything will be better till
I post the second blog.
See you next time…
