The Girl Next Dore: … And To All A Good Night
‘Twas the night before exam week, when all through VU
Not a creature was stirring, just trying to make it through;
The finals were printed by the Professors with care,
In hopes that their students be filled with despair;
The students were studying atop their beds,
While visions of home danced in their heads;
Freshmen on Commons fell into a trap,
Thinking they’d rest for “just a short nap”;
They awoke hours later, and started to cry,
Tore open their books, and wondered “God why?!”;
Rand was now empty, no one in sight,
As the hours grew longer, there was a feeling of fright;
The morning had come, it was time for the tests,
Nothing to do, but to do your best;
“Now Gov, now Psych, now History and French,
Now Spanish, now Math, now Lit, and Gen Chem!”;
To the seats of Central! To the Buttrick halls!
Now study! Study! Study it all!;
Campus was chilling, too quiet to like,
Students too focused to get sleep at night;
But, yes! In a week, we would cease to be around,
The freedom of home, the fall semester unbound;
In the blink of an eye, we’d be done our first chapter,
Of studying, maybe, but there’s a bigger matter;
The first term of college soon will be done,
Four months down out of four years of fun;
So the exams are important, don’t get me wrong,
But study, take them, and then move along;
With confidence and skill, let the facts fill your head,
Try not to let it all fill you with dread;
Know your grades are important, that’s not to forget,
But so is the future, the things you haven’t discovered yet;
So dwell not on missed questions, or even bad grades,
Think of the improvements that you haven’t yet made;
Study hard, get some sleep, remember you are bright,
HAPPY EXAM WEEK TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!
Anchor Down & Happy Holidays,
Brooke
