Surviving Midterms, As Told By Hocus Pocus

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Smith chapter.
Halloween is almost synonymous with midterms and I must say, the women of Hocus Pocus are a pretty damn good representation of the witches we turn into as the struggle bus pulls up and takes us along for a ride…
 
As midterms approach we can feel the tension rising
 
 
 
 
And the nights in the library are getting longer
 
 
 
 
And we’re just not feeling like ourselves so we begin to think crazy thoughts
 
 
 
Then the day of your first midterm arrives
 
 
And you’re not quite sure what happened during that exam
 
 
 
But at least it’s over, right?
 
 
Wrong, that wasn’t your only exam
 
 
 
But now you’re on a roll and ready for anything that will come your way
 
 
So you get back on that struggle bus
 
 
 
And it takes you around and around until you don’t know which way is up
 
 
 
And then you finally finish and it’s time to celebrate
 
 
Because it’s all okay
 
 
 
Until finals…
