‘Twas the Night Before Reading (Day)

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bucknell chapter.

‘Twas the night before reading, and all through the lib

Not a Bucknellian was stirring, not even frat guys

A girl typed on her computer, as a boy did on his

They occasionally exchanged glances, and both looked miz

 

Staring at blank screens, the frustration hung high

Students chugging coffee, it was sleep they deprived

Closed off in cubicles, heads in the books

No time to worry, about having good looks

 

When out on the quad there arose such a clatter

We sprang from our chairs to see what was the matter

Sprinting through the lobby, the students waited and mingled

What was happening? Could it be, the one and only, Kris Kringle?

 

When all of a sudden, it was ringing we heard

Followed by shouts, “Over here, you nerds!”

And who was it ringing this small, golden bell?

Why it was none other than Her Campus Bucknell!

 

Stop the hours of studying, and take a much-needed break

We have lots of yummy treats, and some super delicious cake!

Come one, come all and join us on Tuesday’s eve

It will be so much fun, we promise, we wouldn’t deceive

 

Good luck on your finals, we know you’ll do great!

One lousy grade does not determine your fate!

Ace those finals and be on your merry way

Perhaps take a ride in a one horse open sleigh

 

But remember one thing before you take off and flee

Her Campus articles are the best you will see

Read us on travels or for any old reason

Warm wishes to you all this holiday season!
