Somebody said it rightly, “The biggest problem in life is the image in our heads of how it should be”. It appears that our expectations can distract us
This is an engaging study that can remind us all to try to appreciate our chocolate (and lives) more, and perhaps to try not to remind ourselves of what we don't have. This study can also suggest to us, of how easy it is to colour our possessions through thoughts of what we have.Completing final exams in college is a bittersweet experience. Never again will I have to stay up the whole night storing knowledge into the brain. Neither will I again have such a fun-packed surrounding with all friends, laughs, gossip and non-stop travel planning. But these exams did not turn out as expected. COVID has ruined all the plans and has created a huge gap between expectation and reality.
Expectations and The RealityThe Preparation The exam centreReality: I found myself sitting at my desk staring at the paper and notes all over my desk, (gratitude to the open book exams). My desk at home was my exam centre. All the plans, the snacks, the voting everything was just a waste of time and now leads to a loss of enthusiasm. That expected college never invited us, we were not even allowed to visit our own college and I was sitting at the same boring place since last many weeks and the worst part was I even gave my final exams there and with google and those bulky books as my exam partner.The party after the last exam Reality: After giving the exam with my partners, google and some books, I had a sandwich and took a long nap. I woke up in the evening. I called up my friends to discuss the joke," party" which was planned for that night. The planning we were doing and the party we were expecting will become the loudest joke of the year for us.The farewellReality: We don't even know even if we'll get to meet again or not as most of my friends are in their home town and getting back together at the same place, the same time will not be easy now.
