Today is the last day of my midterm break so here is a little story about it.
Ahh, midterm break. The highlight of the semester; a week filled with endless days. A week for me to just relax. Relaxing for me means talking to absolutely no one, eat snacks, guilt-free Netflix sessions and sleep for days. A week of just that, is a dream after a stressful few weeks before midterm break, which filled with constant bombardment of essays and presentations.
I did not plan anything for this break. I did not take a trip anywhere; I’m hibernating this break. My main goal was sleeping in until 1 or 2 in the afternoon, allow myself to watch all the Netflix I want, whenever I want and at any time I want, and my main wardrobe was my pajamas. Just the luxury of not having to be up and out the door by 8 a.m. is relaxing in itself.
I definitely sat on my couch. I sat on my couch and watched Netflix 6 hours a day. I probably have mentioned Netflix about five times already, because that is literally what all I did. Wearing sweatpants with unwashed hair, while eating a bag of Famous Amos cookies, I binge watch ‘When the Camellia Blooms’ it is a Korean Drama, I rarely watched k-drama because sometimes it can be slow and mushy, meaning cheesy and tacky in my opinion. But this k-drama is not your average romantic k-drama because it is a story about a single mom and the man who loves her, which it talks about a stigma that single parents have traditionally faced in South Korea. Also, like usual k-drama watchers, I also cannot stop fan-girling on the main actor of the series, named as Yong Sik, he is so protective and comforting of the main actress as well as of course, not to mention handsome which makes me day dream and wishing for someone like him. I guess I got too much time on my hand hahah. However, I also do like how it is not solely just a romantic drama there is also a mystery in which there is an unknown serial killer on the loose, makes me unable to take my eyes off the drama.
When I’m not laying on my bed and be lazy like a hippo, I really like to hang out at the mall with my family and stay up really late while play games with my sister. The game me and my sister been playing lately is Call of Duty (COD) it first-person shooter game, it is really fun as you get to manage your strategy to be the last person in the battlefield, in order for you to increase your rank. It is exciting to be able to win and compete with my sister. Other than that, from a typical ‘boys game’, me and my sister also played ‘Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp’, which usually characterized more towards a ‘girls game’ but who is judging, am I right? The game is where you live in a village inhabited by various anthropomorphic animals, carrying out various activities such as fishing, bug catching, fossil hunting. It is again really fun (I mean all games are fun) because you also get rewards such as money which you will be able to buy furniture for your campsite in the game, which to me is a perfect relaxing game to filled your time.
Despite that, actually I could not properly play games and binge-watch Netflix because I felt guilty over choosing ‘When the Camellia Blooms’ and ‘ Animal Crossing’ over my endless assignments (which thank god I managed to do it including this one). Because if I’m not doing work then I’m certainly thinking about all the work, I should be doing. If I decide to be lazy then I am plagued by the ghosts of all the things I could have accomplished instead of picking apples in ‘Animal Crossing’ for an hour. The ghost also followed me every time I go out to shopping and played video games with my sister, even when I ate dinner with my parents. I knew that come Monday, I had exams, assignments and everything else in the world to take care of.
I also stress-ate copious bars of chocolate as I thought about the assignments and exams next week. If only there is no exams and assignments, I would never have to leave the couch.
I’m going to cry out my feelings tonight and wishing for more midterm break, so that is the end of my story. My midterm break may sound boring to some people but at least I get to unwind a little after a stressful half of the semester.
