The "Twelve Days Of Christmas" As Told By A College Student

We all know the original "Twelve Days Of Christmas" song. And to be honest, while it's a classic and I can't deny that it's catchy, it's probably my least favorite Christmas song out there. Like, what even is a partridge? Why are the hens French? Is one golden ring not enough, do you really need five? And what exactly are the lords leaping about?

So he is my reworked version of the song, hopefully, more relatable to the college kids out there who are just hanging on, struggling to make it through final's week and get to the holidays.

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.
