Exaaaaamsssssssss…. Snoooooozzzee!!

The very word gives us jitters doesn’t it? If you are student it has to and it will and if not either you are a scholar or Einstein or abnormal. If we were the members of the educational board we would have made sure that exams were banned. Any sort of exams be it a simple class test or vivas or be it boards exams it gives us sleepless nights and the worst part is we tend to forget things at the last moment and feel blank, everytime you read the chapter you feel “ Hey I have never read this before”. Does that sound similar? if it does then come join the gang. MA PR students of Mumbai University, kalina campus are no different we share common views, like they say “Great minds think alike” How true!

All that pains that we take no sleep, no masti only study for those few days, but the question remains why? This is what our parents ask us ‘Why do you leave it for the last minute?’, Why don’t you go through whatever is done on a daily basis?, and the first thing that comes to our mind is Are you kidding me? I have a full 3 months to go and before you even know you have less than a fortnight left and then it rings a bell in your head ‘OMG I have so much to study and I have done absolutely nothing’, One word to describe this How shameless are we or How shameless can we get!!. Finally when we get done with them we feel like we just fought a war and won a Province… Except for a few I am sure all the students of Department of Communication and Journalism face this problem. If we had an award for last minute preparation we would win the first prize hands down, no questions asked!!

The funniest part is every time I make a promise to myself that this time I will not push it to the last moment and start studying at least a month prior to the exams and revise the entire portion at least twice but the irony here is all this has just been in my thoughts and refuses to come out in action. Every time I realize what I put myself through and decide that next time this won’t happen or I will not let it happen but then…… U know what I mean :-P
