An Ode To Finals Week

'Twas the week before finals

An Ode To Finals Week
Fast Company

As my first Finals Week of my college career is approaching, and in my efforts to put off studying for my Math final as long as possible, I have decided to revisit my elementary school days and write a rhyming poem in order to express my true feelings about this time of the year:

Finals Week, Oh Finals Week,
I hate you so much.
But winter break that follows you
really does come in clutch.

This break will be filled
with relaxation and food
.
As well as everyone
in a good holiday mood.


There will be no schoolwork
or any kind of test.
After this long semester,
I can finally put my mind to rest.

It is weeks full of lots of sleep,
and watching plenty of Netflix too.
As well as time spent with family
and seeing old friends who you may bump into.

But it is still the beginning of Finals Week,
and I have 5 more tests to go
until I am able to go home,
Oh man, this week is going by so slow!

Goodbye Math, Government, and Comm
As well, English and Journalism.
Boy, without these classes,
my life will be so calm.

Sorry, that some of these rhymes
are not simply my best.
It's just that my mind isn't focused,
it's because I am so stressed.

I have so much to do;
there is so much studying that needs to be done,
until I can go join Grammy and
Grampy in the Florida sun.

But until then, here I sit,
surrounded by books and notes galore.
Such work and anxiety
really is not called for.

Thank you for reading this,
I know it was rather long.
I need a rhyme to end this with,
how about: so long!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
