‘Twas the night before finals
You wished you hadn’t played so much beer pong
‘Twas the night before finals, and all through UW,
every student was studying and going cuckoo.
Their pencils were sharpened with extra care,
in fear that the blue books soon would be there.
College Library was packed, and Memorial too,
Collectivo and Starbucks were both a zoo!
Texts from Mom and Dad read ‘finish strong!’
You wished you hadn’t played so much beer pong.
Remembering shots taken and all the nights out,
maybe partying was not the very best route.
All the stress has set in,
with acne-covered skin.
No one was SERF-bound,
but Domino’s made rounds.
The same clothes were worn as the day before,
looking good has never been such a big chore.
Mental breakdowns all came, and they all went,
Badger SPILL gave students a place to vent.
The only thing that got these students through
was the promise of a nice, warm holiday brew.
Little sleep was had,
finals are tough on undergrads.
Everyone studied in new ways,
all hoping for those straight A’s.
Soon it would be over, and it would be done,
time to spread cheer and have a little fun!
