Thanks Bethany! #BTHOfinals

‘Twas the night before finals, and all through the college, All students refreshed their brains with their forgotten knowledge.

The students were sleepy, but none touched their beds, While all of their classes blurred in their heads.

Out in the plaza, all good Ags left pennies, Most dressed in Pj’s but some dressed for semi’s.

All around you could see students were pacing, Dreading the cumulative tests that they’d soon be facing

Some needed study breaks and set down their books, Their dance parties in Evans drew many unfriendly looks.

Starbucks ran low on coffee and had to make more, While we pulled all-nighters on the Annex fourth floor.

I pondered the thought of just winging my tests, But to get into Med School, I needed to do my best

I exitted Netflix which forced me to open a book, But the caffeine was too strong and all our hands shook

We stared at our notes and tried hard to study, But it was so hard to do on an empty tummy

“I need some ice cream”, I declared, my ID in hand, So we headed to Sbisa to burn through our meal plan.

When what to our bloodshot red eyes should appear, But a senior declaring the end was quite near

His spirit was careless, his manner was mellow, We all gawked at his ring, which glowed a light yellow.

“On Quizlet! On Cliff Notes! On last year’s exams! Check eCampus and Howdy, and last minute crams!”

His message received, we all pulled out our phones, And started to listen to Spotify’s “Study Zone”

Motivation returned and the cramming began, Our spirits were up, after all we’re the 12th man

One last messanger came to us that night, And upon hearing her encouragement we knew we’d be alright

“Beat the hell outta your classes, and just do your best. Happy Finals to all, and to all, a Good Test!”
