It was perhaps a blessing that the exams smoothed into Ramadan. Although studying is the worst thing to have to fit in with fasting and taraweeh, I still think it could not be better in any other way.
Students spend exam time planning for thereafter. The plans usually consist of recovering the sleep debt, friends, movies, hangouts, dates, chats and in general avoiding studies and regulations at all costs. The plans this year did not differ much except for the addition of a long list of expensive shopping, but perhaps also included fasting, taraweeh, sehri and iftar and in general the obligatory prayers. The fresh graduates freed themselves from studies and immediately found relax and comfort at hand, for Allah says, "Verily the heart finds rest in the remembrance of Allah" (13:28).
The transition of exams into Ramadan resulted in a vacation that was not only free from studies but also introduced a set of activities that gave some sort of a shape to the vacation. This made it very much unlike most other vacations, where the only relaxing activity was sleep and all the others (hangouts, movies, etc) were energy-intensive ones chosen more to kill time and spend energy than to actually enjoy the burden-free moments.
