School times are indeed the most fun, memorable, and learning period of our lives. Each person will identify with this line. We enter an unknown place (which is the school) with dark faces and we leave that very dear place in sadness and with a lot of memories, blessings, hopes and dreams of the unpredictable future. However, during the hectic life of our adulthood, we often recall our fun-filled school days, and we often laugh quietly at the silly and creative tasks performed during those days with our comrades. Sometimes we also long for those days to come back, as life at that time was mostly full of bright and joyous and less solemn moments. Joseph Anderson, the American poet,'Seasons of life ', which he wrote during World War II. Childhood is obviously like the spring season, as Anderson described in his poem. 'Our new journey', which started at school, is always full of 'blossoming' joy and the trees of life begin to 'blossom' with education and, as the birds enjoy singing, we also enjoy playing with our friends.
The sound of the gong during lunch time and when a hectic day ended was so heavenly
Looking for ways to have fun during assembly prayers
Assembly prayers used to seem like the safest and most preferable time for us to indulge in mischief with our friends. Every morning, when assembly prayers were held before the start of school, finding moments to give our dearest friends a wide smile was what we used to take care of and enjoy most. At one point, when the entire school was enveloped in an atmosphere of silence and the eyes of all the teachers seemed to be closed, we only opened one eye and made a silly grimace at our best friend. We believe it is the most fun time to have fun in front of the whole school surrounded by many teachers.
Rear bench survival tactics: the fun and risky place
Back benches were the places we used to fight for as it was the place that used to be in high demand. However, most of us also used to feel that the back benches used to be a risky and fun place, as the teacher mainly watched the students on the back benches while taking classes. However, the rear benches were considered the most ideal place where hot gossip occurred and creative and wild ideas were formed. The students, who could have a fun time on the back benches during classes by escaping the punishment of the teachers, were admired by the rest of the class, while those who used to be punished became a laughingstock.
Put on the chef's hat while enjoying and sharing tiffin with friends
Food discussions were common when eating our tiffin meals. It was a common sight to see students biting into the tiffins that contained the sinful creamy cakes or the rich Biryani chicken. If our mothers used to send fruits in our tiffin, we always hope to eat the meals of those who bring delicious foods cooked with them. However, between bites of food we used to argue about the various types of cuisines found in places we visit or read in books. Some students also suggested various forms of preparation. salads , desserts and various kinds of dishes that popped into their minds. Some also used to talk about famous chefs who have read in magazines or seen on television.
A classmate's birthday is also a day of luxury
Classmates' birthdays have always been joyous moments of our school days. When we see one of our classmates in a different outfit, we feel very happy, as we always knew it was his birthday and that he / she will give us chocolates as part of their birthday gift. However, if the birthday girl or child gives away more things besides chocolates, our happiness will double. Little moments of innocent joy, like getting a chocolate from our friends, used to give us great pleasure during our school days.
Invent creative and wild games on schoolyards
Playing with friends at school was the greatest joy of the childhood phase. When playing a single game for a few days got boring, we used to have a serious meeting with our friends where different types of games were discussed and the funniest was selected to be played over the next few days before another new game is discussed. However, the games that were widely selected to play used to be the ones that involved running and jumping a lot.
Pray that the teacher does not give a mountain of homework before a class
Homework was one of the most detestable subjects of our school days. After a class ended, we prayed and hoped that the teacher from the next class would not ruin our valuable time at home by piling up more homework since the teacher from the previous class had already given us too much. We always used to feel that the more homework, the more valuable time is wasted at home. The task, which was also a huge burden, caused us to sacrifice some of our favorite television shows.. We also used to feel that homework was the only enemy of our peaceful sleep, as our parents made sure that we completed all of our homework that we would have happily given up if given a chance. Also, skipping homework was also a terrible thing to do as it meant that we would get an ear from the masters if we did.
Craving for hot gossip with close friends
Gossiping with our friends was one of the best guilty pleasures of our school days. Rest times were an appropriate time when we can gossip to our heart's content with our closest friends. From laughing at silly jokes to debating the breasts of anyone you know, gossiping was a relaxing and fun time. School playgrounds were an ideal access point for students doing either of these two activities: gossiping or playing. Furthermore, we also look forward to a class ending when we suddenly remember new information so that we can release it as soon as possible to one of our best friends sitting far away from us. As soon as class is over, we will quickly jump into that friend's place and share a moment of laughter before the start of the next class.
Exams: the only nightmare and burden
The most terrible thing in our school life was exams . Most of us used to fear the time when the exam time was approaching. With the teacher's warning that tests are fast approaching and our parents pressuring us to study hard, we used to feel that tests were one of the difficult phases of our lives. However, approaching the day of the final exam results declaration was one of the things we feared the most, since that D-day would decide the fate of the promotion to the next class.
Traveling by school bus was so much fun
We often used to hear from some of our classmates who heard the most entertaining gossip from one of the seniors on the bus. Classmates who used to ride the school bus used to tell us about the kinds of fun games they had while traveling. When we came with our parents, we often used to hear screams of laughter and screaming from the school bus, and we often wondered about the circumstances that have caused the entire bus to laugh or keep yelling. However, when our classmates used to reveal to us the secrets of screaming on the bus, we feel envious at the thought that we are missing out on great fun in our lives.
Enjoying street food with friends after school was a very joyous feeling
Gossiping with bites of bhelpuri, papri chaat or any other street food was one of the things we enjoyed during our school days. Street food is considered more delicious food by most of the students in India. We are always grateful to some chaatwallahs who used to give us special discounts. There were a few days when we didn't have enough pocket money and we still wanted to enjoy a chat plate. However, if a classmate decides to feed us their pocket money at a time when we don't have the desired amount of pocket money, we automatically form a strong bond of friendship with him / her.
