Here's To The Fall Semester

'Twas the night before classes

Here's To The Fall Semester
Cumberlink

'Twas the night before classes and all through the town, not a student was sleeping but all wore a frown;

The backpacks were placed by the door with such care, that in the morning rush they could not be forgotten there;

The students were snuggled in their Twin XL beds, while visions of exams danced in their heads;

And the freshman with their lanyards, and upperclassmen in sweatpants all mentally prepared for the semester ahead...

It's officially time to dive back into the textbooks, lectures, dining hall food and every other aspect that comes with college life. From study sessions that never seem to end to the parties you wish never would. The fall semester is here and with it will come so many ups and downs.

You'll resent waking up for class, but you may become amazing friends with the person who sits next to you. There is no hiding the fact that you'll get sick because campus food, but you'll fall in love with certain food items and you'll find what is edible. You may miss a few classes because you slept through your alarms, but you may prove to yourself just how great you are at teaching yourself. People prove they aren't worth keeping in your life, but you'll always have the memories and crazy stories.

You'll fail an assignment or two, but you may see your professor in a whole new positive light when you actually seek them out for help. Your week days will drag on sometimes, but I promise you there is always a weekend just around the corner.

So here is to the start of the fall semester and all it has in store. May it treat you well, bring you many memories to make you smile in the years to come and may you not absolutely hate your classes!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
