This post needs a title.

The December holidays have just ended and although they’ve gone by way too fast, it doesn’t hurt to re-live it along with a few laughs.

So, here’s a few things you did at least once during your holiday;
- Went to the beach, got mad sunburned and then insisted that you're never going back there followed by another secret visit to the beach two hours later.
- Had an absolutely mindless conversation with someone just because you felt no need to think during your holiday.
- Watched a bang load of series that you got from that beautiful series person. (Yes, we all have one)
- Decided that it's way too hot to go out of your house, ever.
- Slept on the floor. The cold tiles are absolute bliss in summer.
- Had a crazy photo shoot with your friends in your back yard at which stage the neighbor was peeking through a peephole in the fence creepily. Beware.
- Changed your biological clock to become a ‘nocturnal being.’ ie: sleeping at 4am and awaking at 3pm every day.
- Slept for more than 12 hours at a time. Simply the best feeling ever.
- Become practically obsessed with one song and just scream sang it like crazy until you've ruined the song for yourself and every other human being within a two mile radius, who also happened to hear your blaring music...
- Have your parents tell you to study or do something constructive for once after which you gleefully told them that you had nothing to study.
- Burned a pot of popcorn because you had music blasting and your nose switched off periodically. This followed by blaming any other living being in your home for not smelling the burnt popcorn earlier. Just a reminder that your dog can't talk and shouting "Why did you let me burn the popcorn? Why didn’t you tell me it was burning?" won't make it.
- Had the opportunity to meet someone new.
-Went on vacation; either a relaxing spa, or touring a beautiful city. At which stage, you missed home and loved the city you were in simultaneously.
- Has a sad realization that you’ve reached the time of your holidays where you have no money left, and thus, resulting in hanging with either generous friends or your parents.
- Got really amped about going out and thus, convincing yourself that you do have a social life. #PlotTwist - that doesn't mean you have a social life.
- Cancelled a perfectly adjusted plan with your friends because you'd rather just stay in and sleep. Sleep > friends
- Cancelled plans to go out simply because you're avoiding the sunshine. Getting burned during Summer is a common occurrence and includes almost all of Winter to regain one's original skin tone.
- Wished that you could rewind the holiday back to the beginning and live it just once more.
- Convincing yourself that school doesn't sound too bad after all by totally and completely ignoring the fact that a school goers day begins at 6am, simply two hours into a nocturnal beings sleep schedule.
- Wore your pajamas into midday and then hid from your dog because he looked at you shamefully, while your cat glanced your way and simply blew you off. As if to say, "I have more important things to do, Exhibit A: sleeping.
- Attempted to cook something, followed by your mother's hysterical laughter and sarcastic claps from a far. This followed by you defending that making an omelet is considered cooking.
- Becoming incredibly and unnaturally attached to twitter.
- Attended a party wearing enough scarce clothing to have a picture taken and posted on "thunda.co.za"

That’s all.
Sauda.

A short story.

It was the winter time. And winter time in Petrograd led to uncontrolled cases of Facebook voyeurism. All fatuous personalities were driven into closets, while incensed produce-sellers gradually settled near the comfort of well-oiled heaters. The farce of teenage relationships and authentic petulance had drawn to a close and the only thing the vacations left me with was the overuse of the phrase “YOLO” (which, I believe meant “You Only Live Once”.) Unsure of the phrases deeper meaning of why it was even initially institutionalised, I set upon a mission to enrich my evidently limited understanding.   Judy distinctly understood “YOLO” as making uneducated decisions about her future. The sweet, but very relevant, balance between your career choice and whether there is actually any worldly scope for it is vital. Judy resolved to pursue fashion design. She was under the impression that the world was her oyster. She believed so because her superbly supportive parents had told her so. And

10. The day that I hid in my cupboard

In my young days, I was quite the belieber. I guess I just grew up and then, I was a fan from a distance. I will tell you though that my Justin Bieber twitter account was a hot mess. Nonetheless, I went through the ins and outs of celebrity fandom. I had a t-shirt and bought the records. So, on my bedroom wall, I had an assortment of photos, drawings, writing and posters relating to him. Typical groupie vibes over here. Basically, I lived out that experience and I don't regret it. The incident was brought into play when my mother's friend, her husband and her son came over for a meal. It was Ramadaan, so we patiently waited to eat. And then we didn't eat because it was that time of the month when the desire for food had worn off. We ate substantially and retired to the lounge. Dad and the dudes went to pray in my parents room. So, my mothers friend was sitting in the lounge and she asked me if she could be guided to a room in which she could pray. I agreed and told

9. The Great Highlighter Tower.

"So, let me make this clear. If you chose to not concentrate in class and then you end up doing badly in the exams and so then you go home and tell your parents that you have a bad teacher. Is that how it works? When in fact you didn't concentrate in class. I'll tell you this much... at parent evening, I'm going to tell all of your parents." We stood in the middle of the corridor and made a decision, that day, that we would get a distinction in maths and therefore whatever she told our parents about our marks and our level of concentration would be null and void. That was the plan and it was brilliant. Of course I have different feelings now. It was a double lesson at the end of a busy Friday. The air just seemed to be exuberantly bubbly. Perfect atmosphere for chaos. Our maths teacher was busy rattling on about some long drawn out and seemingly unnecessary maths problem. Yolisa, Jeanette and I were busy giggling away at a highlighter tower we had created, whi
