Week Before Finals (Poem Edition)

'Twas the week before finals and all through the class
were students concentrating and others were out,
perhaps with the flu or maybe with stress
they procrastinated until last minute
that's my best guess.


City college seems empty, but only because 
every one runs to the library
after class is done.
Some share tables with new friends
reviewing pages of notes, thinking it never ends!


With motivation that sings so gently in our minds,
winter break taunts us, but we can't hide,
from the adventures that await
during those weeks of freedom,
the patience, we cant take
so we're force to leave them.


Its only for now, but soon instead of diving in books
we'll be diving in our beds.
Catching up on sleep, watching netflixs
drinking hot tea, talking on our iphones with friends.


My advice to you is stay strong,
we have a week, only a week, 
it's not that long.
