As the D-Day comes closer, the mind is starting to crave for some company. These days are generally very lonely as you have to sit in one room, alone, and study. The worst part about this situation though is not studying. It is that you can't talk to anyone. As you go on getting lonely, your concentration on studies deteriorates. And no parents allow their children to talk to their friends at this time. What they don't understand is that we people are human beings too and we need company. This time of the year, we have many issues about which we cannot talk to our parents. There are various instances where we have self-doubt, cold feet ( getting afraid of something ) etc. If we tell this to our parents, most probably it will turn into a lecture and an ' I told you first only....' talk. However, that is not what we need. A friend at these times is most appreciated. Parents don't understand how much it helps when even one person comes up and says " Hey, don't worry. You will get very good marks." And in times of utter distress and self-doubt, these words work like Sanjeevani ( an ancient herb which cures everything) They give us a new found confidence, which boosts you up.
This is most probably my last post before the board exams get over. Will see you on 17th March. Wish me luck for the Board Exams.
P.S- This post was very small. However, I did not have a lot to write because my mind was pre-occupied by studies and other stuff. And I also did not have a lot of time to write. Adieus!!
It's always hardest to concentrate at this time, coz it's at a time like this, when everything around seems to be more attractive. I remember when I was appearing for my SSC boards, there was a Cricket World Cup on and you can imagine how distracting that was. We just couldn't concentrate. I hope and pray that you will be able to set aside all distractions and focus on the task at hand, which is doing well in your exams.
ReplyDeleteI know that not being able to talk to your friends must be a difficult thing for you at this time, but you can keep telling yourself that it's just 16 days more and then, I can talk all I want with my friends.If you count down the days like that, the situation may become a little easier to handle.
Of course, this goes without saying Shaishav, you are most definitely going to do well. I am very confident of that. All the best. You have to make all that studying that you've done worthwhile. So, just stay focussed and I know, you will do a great job.
