What’s Midterms?

Midterms were slowly approaching and I didn’t know what to do,

The thought of having to study so much was making me feel blue.

I knew that I couldn’t procrastinate and wait until the day before,

Or else I would seriously be done for.

Studying was probably the last thing I wanted to do,

I even told myself, “I rather have the flu”.

Every night I would attempt to start all of the work,

Instead I would just smile at it and kind of smirk.

I knew I was making a mistake because I was waiting for so long,

I had a feeling if I waited anymore something would go wrong.

I knew it was time to drown in my pile of books and study guides,

I was overwhelmed with work I felt like I was in the ocean with all the tides.

Studying was definitely considered a “sad time”,

I felt like I was being punished for a harsh crime.

I pulled myself together and told myself, “Wake up Junilza you need an A!”

I studied really hard until the day before my test, the final thing to do was pray.

I had to overcome my bad study habits since it would help me in the long run,

So instead of procrastinating I got all my work done.

I kept telling myself after midterms, I would have some fun!

OH NO, HEIGHTS!

I always hated being up high, 

I just thought I would die.

Whenever anyone asked why,

I would just say, "I'm just a bit shy".

my cousins got tired of me not liking heights,

At that moment I just thought of the cites.

I got scared when they said we were going to an obstacle course,

I was doing this because of force.

I was perfectly fine with my fear,

they said if I made it through they would cheer.

It was the day of the event,

I just wanted to run and hide under a tent.

We got there and I was at the start,

I was so scared it felt like my life was going to fall apart.

I made it through the course without any tears, 

I wanted to celebrate after all the years. 

I was finally over this

"Early Decision"

Senior year is so stressful,

but I really want to be successful.

I had to finish all my college apps,

but I just wanted to sleep and collapse.

I was in such a hurry to finish applying

that I didn't realize that I clicked Early Decision for binding.

Right there and then I wanted to cry,

I just wanted to give up and not even try.

University at Buffalo was not my top school,

I ended up feeling like a complete fool.

I ran to my guidance councilor in despair,

and God had answered my prayer.

She told me to be careful before I press submit,

but she would help me fix it.

We called the school and they said to fax a request,

and once we sent it I just hoped for the best.

The next week I received confirmation,

and I was no longer in devastation.

They changed my request to Regular Decision,

I am no longer stressed and so thankful for the revision. 

       

The Wake Up Call

It was finally a school night, 

and the thought was such fright.

I knew the next day morning I'd have to put up a fight,

with all the bright lights.

The next morning I just wanted to snore,
and stay in bed a little bit more.
I wanted to stay in with my teddy,
but I knew I had to get ready.

Then I noticed it was finally senior year,
and I started to smile and cheer.
This is the year I've been waiting for,
I can't wait to go to class and see the people I adore.

I got to school on time,
and I told myself this year would be mine.
This is our time to shine!

Hurricane Sandy 

Hurricane Sandy was tough,

we knew the next few days were going to be rough.

The main problem was staying warm,

during the storm.

The lights began to flicker,

 and I lost my patience even quicker.

I hear the doorbell buzzing,

and outside I see all my cousins.

When the lights were out,

I didn't know what to do but pout and shout.

I was stuck in the dark,

and all I heard was a dogs bark.

We went outside at night,

and we saw the trees trying to put up a fight.

The next morning the sight was a fright,

but since we had a generator we knew it was going to be alright.

It helped us take our minds off the disaster.
