The open secret of post school life

For the past week, I have had a sneaking suspicion that my mother believes I am on the verge of losing my mind. I know because I watch Sherlock, Elementary, House and any other show based on or inspired by the Sherlock Holmes series by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. My heightened observational skills have caught my mother stealing furtive glances at me an alarmingly large number of times in the past few days, when she thought I was not looking.

She is right in a sense though, I have heard boredom breeds insanity. And ever since school got over I have had nothing to do. I just sit idle all day flipping through Television shows which are a serious risk to one’s IQ.  Or I take to Facebook and scroll down liking anything and everything. At times I catch myself smiling at the memory of some hilarious incident at school. Other times I play a song on loop till I absolutely tire of it. When I am too lazy to do any of the above I just stare blankly at the ceiling, trying to come up with an appropriate answer to that tongue tying question, ‘Sup?’. All I have been able to come up with so far is ‘nothing much’, but I don’t really like the sound of it so perhaps the next time someone starts a conversation with this dreaded question, I’ll just bail.

Anyway, I am pretty sure that a huge fraction of people my age will have my above description as their daily schedule (aside from those football fanatics who currently live by the night and sleep by the day owing to FIFA fever). I completely agree that this break period between school and college should be used productively, so whenever you decide to watch T.V or Facebook, just ensure that your mother is not watching!

On a more serious note there is a load of activities out there which will aid your spiritual and intellectual development if you decide to brave the heat and step out of the house. Just google about that one thing you always wanted to do but never had time for and get down to doing it.

This is your time. Live it!
