Welcome to Neverland by Sarah Kate Daskal

Pan flutes hanging from tied up strings

Lost Boys play with Lost Boy things

Indians dance to offbeat drums

Pixies, fairies all twiddle their thumbs

Crocodile clocks ticking past ships

Hook can’t form words, trembling lips

Caverns all filled with gold and riches

Neverland may leave you a couple stitches

But not shocked am I that I am here

Dare I say, I’ve got nothing to fear

Cause growing up was such a bore

I’ve got nothing to question, not anymore

Nobody needs me, I’m off on my own

I can walk where I want, I can be all alone

Flying through forests all covered in dust

Never thought I’d run out of faith and trust

Walking through willows and whirling through water

Not proper behavior for a banker’s daughter

and sometimes I miss it, I want to go back

But Peter won’t let me, says I can’t even pack

I’m starting to wonder if this place is alright

starting to wonder how to slip away at night

Lost boys go missing, going, going, gone

Indians go stone face, all red faced at dawn

Pan flutes make no noise, no sound, are silent

Pixies, fairies all mad, all get too violent

How do I leave here, how do I go home

Don’t wanna grow up, but wanna just roam

“Second star to the right..” should have come with a warning

Cause no one knows if you’ll make it til morning

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
