It's Exam Season... AGAIN.

Exam season has begun. The season every student fears; dreads to be more specific. This is a season that comes once in winter, twice in the monsoon and a little before summer. A season not liked by many, I really pity the exam season.
Geographically, the exam season is characterised by depressions in a person's mood and character. The climate in this season, no matter how hot or cold, feels terribly suffocating. Sleepless nights, deviations from the expected weather and acute pressure that gets extremely irritating are few of the many things that lead to students dreading this season.
Keeping 'geographical' details apart, let me come back to what the exam season actually is. Believed to be one most the most important seasons of a student's life, the exam season is something that gets on a person's nerves. It's nothing as dreadful as it seems, believe me. But what actually makes it so dreadful is this.
A student might have gathered concentration with like so much of difficulty, but all of the sudden, the human ear perceives a sound-
Phone: "Ping!!"
Me: Yay!! A notification!! Has someone pinged me?? No? Okay, let me take selfies!!!
And there the phone, and the crazy obsession for selfies, deprives the student of just a few hours of his/her time. After this, the student again musters some interest back into the portion, when the brain calls out-
Brain: Why do we exist on the earth??
Computer: Come, Google that on me; I'm lying idle for like ages!!
So the student goes to Google stuff. It would have started from the existence of humans on earth, but a few hours later, the computer screen would have an amazing video being played on it.
Then the child comes back to the black and white text of his/her textbook-
Book: The Electro Magnetic Spectrum is. . . .  Hey, are you awake?? Hmm... You're asleep. All your hardwork from 8am to 6pm? Void.

Bam!! Ever thought that monsoon, with the winds and storms and tornadoes, was the worst of all the seasons?? Think again- there's this Exam Season- with things worse than monsters and giant spiders!!
