That feeling.

No feeling is quite the same as the feeling of joy and relieve the moment you write the final word on your paper or doing a final flip through your last exam sheet. This feeling, though with no hefty price tag on it, is better than any long-sought after item or any other materialistic desire.

The downside: it doesn't lasts quite that long. As they say, "nothing lasts forever". But they did not say "especially those things we endear the most!".

As quickly as it came by, the next moment - whoof!!! It is then replaced by the lifelong thought, "I'll have to go through it all over again really soon". That places us right back into reality and back into the rat race we call "life".
