0.000 HBDIn the Mind of a Senior || Wishing the Holidays Were Longer
<div class="text-justify">  --- I only started my second semester in my final year at the university a few months ago at the conclusion of the 8-month strike, and I tell you, I have never felt as unenthusiastic as I did when we resumed. Fortunately, the holidays were upcoming, and they were going to be the break I would need as the semester went on. When the holidays came and I traveled back home, in the bosom of my mother, I felt such a difference between when I stay in school all by myself and when I am at home, where I don't worry much about things like food. Oh, yes, that's right...food.  At home, I got to rest more, be with my parents and siblings, and be with some other loved ones as well; I met new faces in my environment; I worshiped at my home church again; and the list could go on, which is quite different from my lifestyle in school. In school, I am what you might call a "bookworm." It's not that I love to read or anything, but that I just take my academics seriously, which includes reading regularly. Albeit, it has been very different for me this year. ||| |-|- |<sub>One those nights for study, you know.</sub>| I spent about two weeks at home doing the things I normally would do at home and everything else in between. And that really was something I had needed for a long time—some time to rest and do very different things. I could have spent more time at home than I did (say, one more week or so), but for some reason, my kind supervisor requested that I come see him physically in his office at school earlier than normal. "Normal" would be after another week, as I had earlier planned. However, resumption this year meant that it was time to face exams squarely and minimize distractions—two things that I am finding difficult to do because my plates have just gotten bigger, as has everything else on them in the last couple of weeks.And now, the holidays are over, and it's back to business (which would be school), whether I want it or not. I wonder, though, if I really could make a wish that could grant me the holidays to go on and on, would I want to do that? And I know it's a little too late to be making wishes as Santa is back at the North Pole already, but imagine with me, will you?  Here's the thing: I love soft life. A life without too many worries and a life with a lot of money—I mean, who doesn't? So to just have that wish of mine granted and then have the holidays go on and on would be, well, a Christmas miracle for me. <sub>#pununintended</sub> The problem, however, is that I don't have either of the two aforementioned fundamental ingredients for a soft life: no worries or money. And then I want to be chill when I haven't even made it in life? XD Another aspect of it is that I am supposed to graduate from school in a couple of weeks. After 7 years, I want to use holidays to scatter my straight line? XD...hell no! ||| |-|- |<sub>Here is a glimpse of some part of my school<sub>...somewhere I buy donuts.</sub></sub>| I do have a whole lot of work ahead of me, but then, who is going to do it all for me if not myself? The holidays were just sufficient for me to take some time to cool off. And so also, the change in environment added some ginger to my tea to refresh my mind. My exams are starting in just under two weeks, and although they may be intense, I am glad that it's my final examination and I can finally bag the B. Eng. and move on to other things that I am interested in. So, yeah, if I could make a wish to have the holidays go on and on, I wouldn't. </div> --- <center><sub>All Images Are Mine <br>Thumbnail with Canva</sub></center> --- <center>  <sub>ℍ𝕖𝕪, 𝕚𝕗 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕖𝕟𝕛𝕠𝕪𝕖𝕕 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕡𝕠𝕤𝕥, 𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕕𝕝𝕪 𝕝𝕖𝕒𝕧𝕖 𝕒 𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕞𝕖𝕟𝕥, 𝕣𝕖𝕓𝕝𝕠𝕘, 𝕠𝕣 𝕦𝕡𝕧𝕠𝕥𝕖.
