Paula: I'm alright. I'm just having some holiday withdrawals. :/

Holiday Homework

After what feels like 1200 weeks in a hellish, federal prison like school, you finally have completed your examinations and it is time for the holidays. All students enjoy it; time to play games, have fun with friends and family.

But the demonic teachers say no. They want you to so-called meaningfully spend your holidays, so they obviously give a ton of this modern torture called homework.

There can be many types, but most come in essay, or Algebra form. It is most commonly used by teachers to make students spend less time on their electronics, but most overlook the side effects.

Side effects are:
Stress
Fatigue
(Severe cases) Depression

Also, most of the time, this is done on the last day of holiday at 2.15 am in the morning, or not done at all. If a student does the latter, the teacher will likely collect it. If the students all do the work, the teacher likely would not.
Student 1: Hey, student 2? Why are you literally online at 3 am?
Student 2: Doing holiday homework.

Student 1: Ah, same.
The next day
Teacher: alright I’m not collecting the homework today

The students:
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I always look forward to the LAN Holiday season. It's the only time of year that I get to gather with my nerd friends in my parents' cold basement for Starcraft and get pissed off to no end because no one can seem to set up the network. We never learn from the year before.
