Final(s) Days Before Summer

A poem about taking finals before we're done with the semester

Final(s) Days Before Summer
Wikipedia.org

It doesn't feel like it,

It's freezing, and I have to wear a sweater to class.

The howling cold breeze hits my face,

and there's no sun in sight.

I trudge through the wind to the doors of the building,

grasping the handle, I fight off the wind

and pull the door open,

almost falling onto the floor of the entrance.


I finally walk up to the room and plop down in my seat,

the grumbling noises are louder than when my stomach grumbles.

The wind howls through the tree branches,

And the sky is darker than the ink that's on the paper my professor hands me/

Sighing, I look at the first question.

Ah, yes.. I should have studied that.

Skipping over that question I look at the next one,

we learned this? When, if ever?

Moving on from that question,

Finally something I learned...

That pattern continues until the time is up.

Tests are collected.

The pencils are put away.

The tears are wiped.


No more projects,

no more tests,

no more 5 page papers to turn in,

everything is put to rest

for the spring.

And we might see each other

Or we might not.

But, for now we're done with this class,

Even though it doesn't completely feel like it.


My professor wishes us the best of luck and to have a great summer

Huh, summer but it doesn't feel like it

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
