12 Days of Stress

A poem to represent the stress of a college student during finals.

12 Days of Stress
Pexel

Finals week is approaching, so and I had very little time to write an article with 500 words. So this week I present to you, a Christmas poem about finals week. This is for all you busy people, who like me, probably have twelve minutes of free time, because studying, exams, and stress has successfully taken over your life.


I think I need, a little more sleep.
I think I need just one more drink.
I'm talking about, hot chocolate and egg noggin', and seasonal Starbuck drinks, cause...
I just finished all my finals,
And I don't know my left from my right.
My heads screwed on backwards.


'Cause I had:
12 panicked students worried about exams. (Twelve times the panic and twelve times the nervous laugh)
11 Tweedle D's and that one tweedle dum...(Let's not talk about it.)
10 melt downs, everyday. (Maybe a little more, times tickin' away)
And 9 lectures about how it's gonna be okay. (Its not gonna be okay)

But let's forget all the small talk cause,
I'm done with all my exams.
They're in the past.
Don't care if I passed, but that won't last.
Now it's Christmas Eve,
Don't care about the facts.
Baby let this, please let this last.

Oh oh oh, watching the Christmas lights.
Oh oh oh, listening to Christmas Rhythmes.
Ooh ooh oh, Hoping to have a good time.
Oh no no, I'm gonna flip the bird to all that me that 'Tis the season to be jolly.'

Cause I had;

8 study groups, Darlin' wish it was more. ( 8 study groups, wish I learned more.)
7 times late, cause I needed to study more. ( 7 times the naps, if you can even call it that.)

Said six times its fine, before I cried. (Couldn't help the tears, the stress is feeling real.)

Cause after the five exams, I don't have time... (After five exams still got more to do.)


And I want to forget about the small talk,
let's forget all the small talk cause,
I'm done with all my exams.
They're in the past.
Don't care if I passed, but that won't last.
Now it's Christmas Eve,
Don't care about the facts.
Baby let this, please let this last.

Oh oh oh, watching the Christmas lights.
Oh oh oh, listening to Christmas Rhythmes.
Ooh ooh oh, Hoping to have a good time.
Oh no no, I'm gonna flip the bird to all that me that 'Tis the season to be jolly.'

Cause I had:

4 exams, same week. Two on the same day and I haven't had any sleep. (4 Essay's due and they want me to pass?)

Three coffee's a day, don't know what else to do. (Three espresso shots that were really past due.)

Two prayers left before the test starts. Which means I'm two times as stressed.

And One time blessed, because now we're one day away from Christmas Day.

And I want to forget about the small talk,

let's forget all the small talk cause,

I'm done with all my exams.

They're in the past.

Don't care if I passed, but that won't last.

Now it's Christmas Eve,

Don't care about the facts.

Baby let this, please let this last.

Oh oh oh, watching the Christmas lights.
Oh oh oh, listening to Christmas Rhythmes.
Ooh ooh oh, Hoping to have a good time.
Oh no no, I'm gonna flip the bird to all that me that 'Tis the season to be jolly.'

Cause I had:

Too many test, too much stress.
12 days of Christmas?
Talk about Twelve days of stress.
At least when it's done,
I can have a lot of fun.
So winter break don't end too soon.
I'll be needing you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
