You know what's one of the best parts of passing your end of year exams this time of the year.
It means summer vacation is finally kicking off.
For all students and especially high school graduates, it's time to celebrate.

also known as the Gaokao,

enrolling in driving school to get their driver's license, traveling,
shopping for the perfect new laptop or even booking LASIK or other vision correction procedures.
After all, you want to start college looking and feeling your best, right?
Exams are finally over and like clockwork,
driving schools are flooded with students eager to get behind the wheel.
So what do we know about the surging numbers this time?
