Finals Week as told by Christmas Carols

If Christmas Carols showed the spirit that is early December and Finals Week.

Finals Week as told by Christmas Carols

Finals week may be over for you quarter system folk, but it just beginning for us on the semester system. In an attempt to further procrastinate from my studying--and to hopefully help you procrastinate from yours--I have complied a few of my favorite Christmas Songs. However, these aren't any ordinary Christmas songs. They have been transformed to capture the spirit that is Dead Week. Enjoy!

Rockin' Around the Lib-rar-y (Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree):

Rockin' around the Lib-rar-y

at the Finals studying hop

Students and notes where you can see

Only coffee warrants a stop

Rockin' around the Lib-rar-y

Let the Finals spirit ring

Later we'll have some tests to take

and we'll do some guessing


You will get a overwhelming feeling

When you see, questions saying

Palms get balmy, “Who wrote the Praise of Folly"

Rockin' around the Lib-rar-y

Have a happy doomsday

Everyone studyin' wearily

From day, to day, to day


You will get a devastating feeling

When you see, questions asking...

Palms are balmy; “Who the F!$* is Walter Raleghi?"

Rockin' around the Lib-rar-y

Have a happy Sunday

Everyone's crying silently

‘Cause Finals are a day away


Winter Undergrads (Winter Wonderland):

Don’t know a thing, are you listening

In the class, kids are suffering

A usual sight, we're up late tonight

Crying with a bunch of undergrads


Gone away is the old word

Here to stay is a new word

He revises it wrong, as we go along

Studying with a bunch of undergrads


In the library we can build a game plan

And pretend that it won’t make us frown

Teach’ll say, "Are you guys all ready?"

We'll say, "No man"

Cause I can’t do the job, when you're around


Later on, we'll conspire

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid, the finals that remain

Lying with a bunch of undergrads


Don’t know a thing, are you listening

In the class, kids are sufferin’

A usual sight, we're up late tonight

Crying with a bunch of undergrads


Gone away are the theorems

Here to stay are its victims

He factors it wrong, as we go along

Studying with a bunch of undergrads


In the library, lookin’ like a madman

Pretending that we won’t meltdown

We’ll have lots of trips to the coffeeman

Yes, until all the kids wear him down


And later on, we'll conspire

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid, the finals that remain

Studying with a bunch of undergrads

Crying with a bunch of undergrads


Here Comes Dead Week (Here Comes Santa Claus):


Here comes dead week, here comes dead week

Right down University lane

Biology, English, all his courses

Pulling on the reins


We are trying, children sighing

All is scary and quiet

Hang your backpack and say a prayer

'Cause Dead Week comes tonight


Here comes Dead week, here comes Dead week

Riding down University lane

We’ve got a week that's filled with finals

For everyone again


We Hear the break bells jingle jangle

What a beautiful sight

But an awful week we have to go

Because Dead week comes tonight


Here comes Dead week, here comes dead week

Right down university lane

Finals don’t care if you're rich or poor

They stress you just the same


Teachers knows that we're only human

But That doesn’t change a thing

Fill your bags with coffee and notebooks

'Cause Dead week comes tonight


Well, here comes Dead week, here comes Dead week

Riding down University lane

They’ll come around even when the children cry out

It can’t be dead week again


No Peace on earth will come to all

As the students shiver in fright

Let's curse the university above

'Cause Dead week comes tonight

'Cause Dead week comes tonight


I Don't Know (Let it Snow):

Oh the next few weeks are frightful

But the break is so delightful

And since we've four finals to go

To the library I go, I go, I go


It doesn't show signs of stopping

And I've got some Tears for mopping

The pressure’s turned way up high,

I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die


When we finally get the test

How I hate going out with a fail

Even if I tried my best

All the way home I will wail


I am slowly dying

And my dear we've still got days of crying

As long as you procrastinate so

you won’t know, you won’t know, you won’t know


Oh, it doesn't show signs of stopping

And I've brought some papers for writing

and the energy’s way down low

I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know


I may be home for Christmas (I’ll be home for Christmas):

I may be home for Christmas

If Hell week doesn’t take me

Please have snow and mistletoe

And a month of being carefree


Finals week will find me

Where the tests cause no screams

I'll be okay for Finals

Only in my dreams


I may be home for Christmas

If Hell week doesn’t take me

Please have snow and mistletoe

And a month of being carefree


Final’s week will find me

Where the stress is not extreme

I’ll be okay for Finals

Only in a dream

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.
