BOREDOM: the worst almost invincible enemy

Well today i'll keep it simple and short. If you're wondering why? Simply because i'm bored. yes like every individual on this planet, my boredom has crossed all limits (This i say almost every other week, with a new limit set and crossed) Unlike the system in other countries, In India, after our 10th Grade (Sophomore year in high schools) Board examinations (which are like your SAT's), students are given
 a generous yet long 4 month vacation. No i'm not kidding. Four freaking months. It might sound like its the dream but trust me the dream lasts only for the first 2 months. Okay i'll explain in a better way.
PHASE 1:-JOY
 Lasts for: at least 2 weeks.
You experience happiness because the exams that have ruined one entire year of your life, are finally over. Almost feels like you're out of a dreadful nightmare, waking up to the sunrise seeing the birds fly with their wings spread in the pleasant air showcasing their freedom. You discuss with all you friends and family actually even a stranger, how amazing it feels to be free of all the tension, worries and of course, how can i forget, the studies.
PHASE 2:- PARTYING and PLANNING
Lasts for: a month
On the top of the world. on cloud nine. Going out with a bunch of friends some you didn't even talk to in school (i know weird right?!), watching movies, going on lunches to try out new stuff, exploring, going to the beach watching the sunset. Oh yes and countless Girls night out's. Then the planning, what hobby classes you're gonna join. how you'll wake up in the morning and go for a run. blah blah keep yourself busy. lots of more blah blah.
PHASE 3:-GUILT and NOSTALGIA.
Lasts for: 2 weeks.
you're guilty because you didn't do any of the interesting awesome things you had planned on doing. Instead you wake up in the afternoon, sleep in the morning and the remaining day, well just fool around. You miss your school days, miss being being busy, that's when the nostalgia strikes. you miss the teachers, the free periods, the matches on ground, the full of gossip discussions at the canteen table, the running of to the terrace, chilling around in the school corridors. Recalling every stupid thing you did in school, you sulk.
PHASE 4:- BOREDOM.
Lasts for: Ongoing.
The title gives it away. just plain boredom. mindfucking boredom. You just lay on the bed/couch all day long staring at the damn idiot box, watching reruns and repeat telecasts. Listen to music all day, take weeks to read just one book, a book you could have easily finished in 2 days, you just lack the determination to do so, or in fact do anything at all!!! Also all the work for admissions for college pending on your shoulders is even more annoying providing a contrast to your daily boredom i.e. forcing you to work when your really just wanna sleep all day.
That's it for today i guess, oh looks like i didn't keep it simple and short after all.
