‘Twas the week before finals, and all throughout Tech

Pencils were scratching as students got wrecked.

Despite Kantwon’s powers, CS was a pain.

Circuits signaled death; students’ tears fell like rain.

“O-chem or o-no?” was Chem-E’s tortured cry.

“Bio-transport me to hell!” An F will not fly!

ID’s rot in studio and bio majors are death.

“C’s get degrees,” you whisper under your breath.

With a last-minute calculation, your fate becomes clear:

You need a 278 to pass - a true helluva engineer.

Alas, all this stress… will it be worth in the end?

As Psych majors like to say, “It all depends.”

Your GPA is a number that tends to ignore

Your will and work ethic - and whether or not you’re a bore

So if you’re somewhat exciting and not a stick in the mud,

It’s okay if you fail! You’re not a total dud!

Tech tests your will to learn and move past

Your hard times, your failures - these lessons will last.

These lessons of diligence and perseverance past fear:

They're what make you. You're a helluva engineer.

You're more than your GPA. Study hard, and best of luck on finals everyone!
