Exams over and tension begins....

Friends, for a long time when I was in 12th std, I thought, the day when exams will get over I will truly rejoice, but as matter of fact the real stress came into being when the exams got over. Every morning You look up the newspaper for advertisements of various Colleges and Universities for their admissions. Then surfing the internet to find if the college is good or not, and finding the application form, print it, fill it, ask dad to get the DD, get the passport size photo, photocopy of cerficates...... phew !! and the list goes on..............
Then comes the aptitude tests and preparations for that. What kind of questions they ask? Whom to contact for more details? Where is the test center? How to reach there? again the list goes on....
Then its a long and tensionful wait for the results. These days are really worse. With no work to do and in a state of being nowhere. Being unproductive is the worst part of it. Well, how long can one rely on movies and games to kill time???
Then comes the results. Nothing can be as good as results or as worse as the same. If you manage to score better than some of your friends, your family and to an extend yourself will be satisfied (Remember, just satisfied). But when the other part of it happens, i.e you score less than your friends, then the world seems to be the worst place to be in. Everyone celebrates other than you. Thats one time when you wouldn't like to join in your friends happiness.
But at the end of it everyone dreams..... Dreams of a better place to be in. And its that hope, let me specify, "hope" that helps us to survive these days.... Hoping the best.
And, sometimes we forget to 'prepare for the worst', just in case if fate takes us to we don't like or expect...
Remember guys, sometimes the best things happen after the worstest of happenings. And thats why, never let the HOPE in you die.
