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!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
