For the love of exams

 

The season of love is finally here. It is that time of the year when couples will post diabetes inducing photos and reels on social media while the frustrated single population will go on to post pseudo-positive statements and reels about buying flowers for themselves and being there own partner. More on that later.

Some coaching institutions will offer you pizza services so that you can cry alone with a pizza while watching Medicine videos on Valentine’s night. On the other hand, some other coaching institutions will actually understand your frustrated loneliness and go one step ahead to find you a study partner to end your misery. But if you are a lonely single med student, there is a very good possibility that you will end up not registering for any of the above for the fear of being exposed as desperate or meeting other desperate people like your own self who end up choosing an educational app to find a love match.

If you are a Bengali then, for you Vasant Panchami is here too, when you finally get to see your crush in traditional clothes giving you tachycardia. But once you get your heart rate under control you realize that you are dreaming impossible things and you end up thinking how bleak and temporary the real world is. You finally go to bed with a heavy heart. Well, not all of you though. Some of you try to lighten your mood by patiently reading your friend’s nonsense blog.

But if you are a med student you also know at the back of your mind that it is also that time of the year when your real girlfriend visits you. She is so loyal that she visits you even when you don’t ask her, she does not leave you even when you rudely ask her to, she gives you a reality check whenever you need it to keep you on the right track. And everyone knows her name- she is called EXAM.

Yes people. It is also that time of the year when you wake up to your concerned HOD’s motivational messages on the Department group, wonder all day about what all you could have done if there were no exams and how care-free all others seem, and go to bed calculating how much time you have wasted today and how far the others have studied.   

So for all the couples, loners and examinees, this jobless blogger brings to you a set of short blogs for Valentine’s week, where you get to hear all about the hilarious med school incidents that keep occurring on a day-to-day basis during exam season. You will learn to be careful while turning your head during exams and not be surprised even when you find out that a department actually forgot to make your question papers. Are you wondering how that happened? Stay tuned and keep reading for the next six days to find out.

Happy Rose day.
