Twas The Night Before Finals

Holiday cheer during finals despair.

Twas The Night Before Finals

Though it may be finals week, it's still the holiday season. So here' s a poem to get you in the holiday mood while expressing all your thoughts and feelings as you make your way through the rest of your finals.


Twas the night before finals, when all through the school

Not a student was happy, everyone was just trying to keep their cool

The books were open, with fright and with care

In hopes, that by chance, everything that had to be known would be there

There was no one nestled all snug in their beds

Because there was too much information that had to be crammed into heads

Energy drinks were bought, coffee was drank

By the end of finals week, no one had any money left in the bank

The library became your home; you hadn’t been outside in 12 hours

What you really wanted most was to just be drinking a whiskey sour

Two finals in one day, you thought that was cruel

Other future professions were considered, even possibly being a drug mule

You became surrounded by flash cards, study guides and books

You could of sworn that person across from you was giving you funny looks

It had been days since you’ve slept, but it felt like years

The girl right next to you, she just burst into tears

You wonder if it’s all worth it, as you walk into your tests

All the cramming and reading, the lack of any rest

But you make it to the end, the week is finally over

You proved you wouldn’t quit, that you’re no pushover

It’s time to go home, to go get under a warm fluffy blanket

Another finals week is over, and against all odds, you can say, “I made it!”

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.
