Early Holiday Complex or EHC occurs in people, especially students, to behave in a manner that would suggest that they are already on holidays, when their actual holiday is in the very near future.
Symptoms include, but are in no way limited to:
Non-permanent ink on skin, especially on face and hands, and often drawn on in the shape of flowers or the Sparkle Monsters Cult.
Joining the Sparkle Monsters Cult
General rowdiness, noise and lack of concentration
Colouring in head and profile shots of Tinker bell
Prone to quoting classics, especially Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
Citing symptoms of EHC
Euphoric (High)
Acting in ways the victim would not normally behave
Victims cannot be held accountable for their actions and cannot explain themselves, as they are not themselves, you see. EHC victims are not generally violent, but if provoked physically, they will respond accordingly, and often are hard to stop once they reach this frenzy.
Cure
The best cure for an EHC victim is starting the victim on an early holiday, or if this course of action cannot be executed, indulging the victim with activities that do not require much mental concentration.
Activities can include watching educational movies, cross-words, colouring-in sheets (preferably of Tinker-Bell), eating chocolate and ice-cream, leisure swimming, reading, listening to music or surfing the internet. The types of activities that are good for EHC victims are relaxing. These activities will reduce most symptoms and victims can stay quiet for stretches up to half an hour.
This is not a permanent mental disorder, and disappears once the victim is on holidays.
