Vacation.. what vacation????

Well, schools and colleges close down after a hard core year of exams, studies, tension, pressure, and all sorts of negativity. And you can see a gleeful smile on a young child's face. 'Holidays!' , he says. But if u ask a student who is suddenly taking a leap from high school to graduation, there is more to it that meets the eye. Ask a student who gave his exams from the science stream, he aims to be an engineer, doctor, physician and what- not. So, does he while his time in enjoying the vacations? Certainly not! Many of the people i know have despised the idea of doing courses that kill their quality time... or otherwise, vacations.
So, does this mean that it's the time for feeling guilty of missing the time to relax? No, on the contrary, there seems to be a certain high in getting prepped up for the future, joining classes, morning to evening, studying evening to night. After all, in this cut throat world of competition, having that spunk, and an edge over the rest is the sure way to success. Now, with the CETs, JEEs, CATs, an increasing number of students have become as busy as a beaver. And applying to a single university is just not acceptable, at least ten or more, that should suffice. This should make everyone sit up and chew the cud. Of course, about vacations? Well, they take a back seat.
