An Ode To Finals Week

'Twas the week before finals

An Ode To Finals Week
Fast Company

As my first Finals Week of my college career is approaching, and in my efforts to put off studying for my Math final as long as possible, I have decided to revisit my elementary school days and write a rhyming poem in order to express my true feelings about this time of the year:

Finals Week, Oh Finals Week,
I hate you so much.
But winter break that follows you
really does come in clutch.

This break will be filled
with relaxation and food
.
As well as everyone
in a good holiday mood.


There will be no schoolwork
or any kind of test.
After this long semester,
I can finally put my mind to rest.

It is weeks full of lots of sleep,
and watching plenty of Netflix too.
As well as time spent with family
and seeing old friends who you may bump into.

But it is still the beginning of Finals Week,
and I have 5 more tests to go
until I am able to go home,
Oh man, this week is going by so slow!

Goodbye Math, Government, and Comm
As well, English and Journalism.
Boy, without these classes,
my life will be so calm.

Sorry, that some of these rhymes
are not simply my best.
It's just that my mind isn't focused,
it's because I am so stressed.

I have so much to do;
there is so much studying that needs to be done,
until I can go join Grammy and
Grampy in the Florida sun.

But until then, here I sit,
surrounded by books and notes galore.
Such work and anxiety
really is not called for.

Thank you for reading this,
I know it was rather long.
I need a rhyme to end this with,
how about: so long!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
