When no one can Feign Sickness


             Since time immemorial I have tried understanding the mindset of my fellow campus students but I have often come up short. It is difficult to comprehend them. Who can for instance explain why they literally adore weekends and look forward to them as much as they do? In other words, why do they seem to always get excited towards the end of the week and dull at the start of the week? It is interesting, isn’t it? But that is exactly how it has been for a long time. Students don’t like being in class; if given an option I can bet with my life that they would choose something else other than going to class.
 During the week, it is not uncommon to see students feigning sicknesses in order to be out of class or see them texting their best friends to sign against their names in the attendance registers. It is a wrong thing to do but it does happen and there is not much we can do, unless we come up with a way of ensuring that only one person signs against one name. Nevertheless, weekends also break the monotony of class work and having a lecturer or tutor before you for a whooping five days (in the absence of a public holiday and assuming that all students attend all the classes of the week) and all the malarkey that is associated with it.
As though that is not all, weekends are exact reminders of holidays that students often look forward to. They give students an opportunity to visit each other, go to stadiums and watch their favorite games and sports, go to the movies and what not. Professional essay writers also use this time to write essays or plays. Lastly, and certainly not the least, weekends aid in the courting process, and these to students, is priceless. Campus students like all human beings like being loved, and the weekends provide the perfect environment for that.
