New semester, same you? Or maybe it's worse...

Let's face it, it was bound to happen: we all get off course!

The miserable weather puts you down in the dumps

Oh, how I hate these Junior year slumps.

One week in and the papers are already here.

But let's see if we can't make it through this second to last college year.

After all we don't have to be stressing about jobs quite yet

and even the seniors with them still have things they'll regret:

They only have one more semester of Wednesday wine nights and a final summer break.

But we get all that without the looming end ruining what should be icing on the cake.

And maybe the next exam makes up 90% of your grade,

but put in the work now and you will soon be fully repaid,

for Spring Break is ahead, and just think how nice it will be

to sleep for sixteen hours straight or party like they do on MTV.

Or maybe the issue is your New Years' Resolution?

You promised to be fit, but that treadmill just isn't the solution?

Well if you eat clean today, tomorrow you can cheat,

I'm pretty sure stars say that's the diet that can't be beat.

Or you're staying more organized, but can't see your bedroom floor.

What you do is throw it under the bed and wait till move-out to explore.

I mean let's face it all our self-promises are stated very vaguely;

Mint chip ice cream is green, and eating green is good I've heard lately.

I know what you're thinking, this is all good and fun,

but the slump hits hard and it's impossible to get anything done.

Well, to that I have no answer, but procrastination works well;

just look at me writing this poem, hoping my grades don't go to hell.
