12 Things Going For Tuitions Meant To Us In School

Almost everyone took extra tuition outside of school for a better academic performance. Only some actually went for those classes in the true spirit of learning and discipline. The rest of us just dealt with it the best we could - and had as much fun as we could along the way. If you're one of the latter, you'll definitely relate to these 12 things that going for tuitions meant.

1. Dressing cool

Meeting classmates outside of school was only possible because of tuitions, so it was quite a thrill to put on your best threads and turn on some swag. Because no one in 10th grade carried off a Guns N' Roses T-shirt better than you!

2. Spending extra time with friends out of school

If you didn't bully (or persuade, in gentler terms) your squad to take up tuitions for the same subject with the same teacher as you, you were wasting your school days. Because, tuition did not just mean extra classes - it meant extra time spent with your buddies.

3. Being in the same room as your secret crush

Many love stories take place in tuition classes - sometimes, in the person's own head. Nevertheless, it was just a thrill to be sitting for an hour or two in a smaller group with the person you are infatuated with.

4. Making extra pocket money

If you were of the really bad kids, you probably ripped off your parents on a monthly basis by telling them that your tuition fee was a couple of hundred more than the real amount. A guilty conscience sucks, but not having that extra cash to blow sucked worse.

5. Bunking to go do your own thing

If you have never ditched your tuition even once to go hang out with friends or watch a movie, you clearly were a good student and an ideal kid of your parents.

6. Getting out of the house for an hour or two with a legit reason

With the study break before the exams, the only reason your parents will let you out of the house was for your tuitions. Those classes literally came to you as a breath of fresh air - a break from the exam-induced house arrest.

7. Buttering up the teacher for all it's worth

If you happened to be taking tuitions from your 'partial' subject or class teacher at school itself, you knew that half of the job was done. Preferential treatment is not all that bad, especially if you fall in the 'preferred' category, amirite?

8. Hoping to get the question paper before a test

If #7 was done correctly, even the dumbest of students could hope to more than pass a class test. Of course your teacher will not give you the question paper, but point you in just the right direction to make your prep a whole lot easier!

9. Looking forward to eat chaats and pani puris on the way and back

What even was the point of taking tuitions if you did not stop on the way and back to gobble some tasty street food? For some, the walk to and from tuition was literally the highlight of the entire thing.

10. Exchanging movies, music and books with friends

Tuition classes made a great meeting point for kids lending and borrowing their stuff outside of school. Now it's pen drives and hard drives - but there was a time when burned CDs were the shizz.

11. Being assured about not paying attention in class. Because tuitions.

You knew that you were covered when it came to the syllabus - because no matter what a miserable condition your class notes may be in, your tuition notes would finally save your ass.

12. Actually getting some studies done

When it came down to the last few days before the slaughter... er, the exams - it was your tuition classes that was your last resort. After an entire year of goofing around, it is in your tuition classes that you finally solve all your 'doubts'.
