<div>After a hectic year of academics, the students of class ten and 12 are enjoying the welcome break. It’s been a busy year for them with tests, pre-finals and board exams.<br /><br />Now that they finally have time at hand, the students are making full use of the holidays.<br /><br />While many of them are keen to travel, others say that the board exams were just the beginning of a series of entrance exams. <br /><br />In conversation with Metrolife, the students share their plans for the long break. <br /><br /><div>Tanish Mehta, a second-year pre-university student, plans to head to Coorg for </div><div>the holidays. <br /><br />“That’s only going to be a short holiday. Otherwise, I will be studying especially since I’m planning to do architecture. I have many entrance tests to prepare for. The board exams were really hectic. But I think the holidays will also be that way especially since I might have to attend coaching classes to crack the entrance tests,” he explains. <br /><br /></div><div>Pranav HS, from Bishop Cotton Boys School, says that he hasn’t decided what to do yet.<br /><br /></div><div>“I always plan spontaneously. I have a lot to study even during the holidays </div><div>because I will be appearing for the engineering entrance tests. Let’s see how the break turns out,” says the class 12 science student. <br /><br /></div><div>Making use of the time, Vivek Wadwani, a second-PU student, will be pursuing an internship. <br /><br />“I will be interning with a finance company. It will look good on my resume,” he says. </div><div><br />For a short break, Vivek will also be heading to Goa with his friends. <br /></div><div><br />“The PU exams were easy and didn’t require much preparation. But I will have </div><div>to focus on the entrance tests for the bachelors in business management course,” he says. <br /><br /></div><div>Radha, a class 10 student, says that her board exam grades will count. <br /><br />“At least I don’t have to study in the holidays. I will be going to Malaysia with my parents. Being an avid reader, I also want to catch up on the latest books. Throughout the year, I have kept away from leisure reading because I have had so much to study,” she says. <br /><br /></div><div>Anupriya, who has finished her class ten board exams, says that during the holidays, she has enrolled for some classes. <br /></div><div> </div><div>“It’s the only time that I can work on honing my skills. I have enrolled myself for German classes. Since I’m also interested in cooking and baking, I am taking some lessons. It’s </div><div>during these holidays that I want to explore my talents and get to know what I really want to do,” she explains, adding, “Since I am looking at a vocational course, I want to ensure that I have the aptitude for it.” </div><div><br /></div></div>
