We've finally made it to break, meaning next week will be when teachers decide to have all the tests, projects and presentations due. The week that high school students are swamped with stress and want nothing more than to get to the break and finally breathe. Here are some stressful moments students deal with the week before the winter holidays, with some help from Disney songs we all know and love.
"I've been staring at the edge of the water long as I can remember, never really knowing why."
When you've been sitting on your desk, studying your notes until 3 a.m., it starts to feel like you've been staring at your papers for forever, and you start to forget why you're even studying this hard anyways.
"When will my life begin?"
Sometimes you take a break from studying to scroll through Instagram and see some of your friends out and having fun, unlike you, stuck at home. It makes you wonder; when will you ever be done with these dumb tests and be able to live a little?
"You ain't never had a friend like me!"
In the middle of the night when everyone else in the house is asleep, your only friend is your cup of coffee. And what a friend it is, indeed. There's no way you would be able to get through the night without it.
"Let it go."
After days of studying, you finally get your test score and… they're not as great as you expected. But for now, just let it go; you gotta focus on your next test now.
"When will my reflection show who I am inside."
When your parents see your bad test grades and you feel like you've been reduced to just that low score, you just look forward to the one day that your test score will actually show how hard you've worked.
"No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dreams that you wish will come true."
You didn't do so great on your test, but that's okay! You try to make yourself feel better by reminding yourself that, really, grades aren't everything.
"Wish I could be part of your world."
When you're studying for AP Econ, AP Bio and AP Calc tests that are all on the same day, you just wish you were in the shoes of underclassmen without the stress of four AP tests in one day.
"At last I see the light, and it's like the fog has lifted."
Finally! Exam time is over! You now have your old life back.
"For the first time in forever, there'll be magic, there'll be fun."
Go live your life! You're stress free! Until school starts again, that is.
