And why not, after all those few days after the exams are like the most precious days when you don’t have to study; you don’t have to follow any fixed schedule; you can sleep whenever you want, for how long you want; you can watch your favourite TV shows and go out for the party with friends. It would be silly if you waste these one or two months’ vacations pondering about the prospective results which would only make you feel stressed and restless. So, just enjoy the leisure that has come after a long time of immense hard work. But quite often, a couple of days into that much-anticipated break, we stop enjoying being a free bird and start getting bored. Then, we feel the need to engage into something which is creative and fruitful.
Here, we have summed up a few activities that students can pursue in the days before the result is out. These activities will help you to explore your inner strengths and abilities along with providing you a recreational experience.

You will never get this precious break once after you are done with your studies. Because, then you will get busy with your career and will be offered no such distressing vacations. So, this is the only time you will get to spend on yourself. So whether your pleasure lies in reading, watching movies, visiting special food joints, going places which fantasise you, walking in the sunshine, spending time with friends, now is the time to indulge.
In fact, I myself waited with the breathless anticipation for the post-exam break so that I may plunge into the world of fiction to retrieve my life and enjoy the world full of fun and pleasures. Hanging out with friends, a day filled with careless laughter, gossip and food, everything memorable indeed.
4. Go out for sport

After the exams, going out and playing the games that interests you the most, seems like a breath of fresh air. Actually, playing sports acts as a huge stress buster. During vacations students can be seen playing cricket early in the morning or playing football in the muddy grounds. The fierce sunrays showering at them doesn’t bother them at all, nor they care for the thirst or hunger the whole day. Nowadays, parents also take the initiative step to enrol their children to learn tennis, cricket, swimming, or any other trending game. The best thing about a sport is that it will also help you shed those extra kilos you gained while you were glued to your books.
