As the first semester is coming to a close,
It's known for being stressful and everyone knows.
Full of cramming, coffee, and study guides,
It's the time when students are sleep deprived.

Some succeed while running on minimal sleep and maximum tears,
Others sit and wonder how these tests will affect their future years.
"It's worth fifteen percent of your grade," is the most common phrase,
This is what helps start the anxious and stressful craze.

Everyone wants to succeed,
For a good grade is all they need.
It comes with the price of a lot of note cards and reading,
But it's worth it so all of the students are pleading.

Now in this time of maximum stress,
Make sure to get just enough rest.
Study up and stay on your toes,
Because the first semester is coming to a close.
