The Night Before Finals Week

A spin-off of the Night Before Christmas.

The Night Before Finals Week

Twas the night before finals week, when all through the school

Not a soul wasn't studying; even those deemed "too cool"

The textbooks were flung on the bed in dismay

In hopes that each final would be rewarded an A.


The students were huddled in the library all night

While they prayed to the Lord to hear their great plight.

With Spanish before me, and a paper to come

I had just settled in for a night that was still young.


When out on Bittner Beach their arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the desk to see what was the matter.

To the window I flew, was this just a dream?

Alas it was not; twas the midnight scream.


The students all gathered and wailed of their woes

They wailed so loud it must've come from their toes.

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

finals exams flying with the grades of my fears.


With an ice cold wind, so lively and quick

I knew in a moment for my GPA, this was it.

More rapid than eagles the grades swirled around

They whistled and whispered, and screamed out my name!


"Better Study!, now listen! You're bound just to fail!

To clown school you must go,

Rebekah you're done!

Now go to sleep! Go to sleep! Go to sleep all!"


I sprang out of bed, and let out a great sigh,

I made a mistake, and had closed my eyes.

Fallen asleep with my face in a book,

I turned on my lamp, and gave it another look.

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.

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.
