Ahh, back to school season for the new year. The Peak has compiled a list of January carols to help us get back into the spirit of leaving behind our protective winter-break blanket cocoons and bursting into the soul-sucking peril of our education system. Cheers to spring term!
Let It Burn
Oh, the Burnaby Mountain weather is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we failed this paper last term,
Let It Burn! Let It Burn! Let It Burn!
O Holy Syllabus
O holy syllabus my eyes are brightly burning
from reading this small print and lack of sleep
I’ll carelessly stuff you in my bag, spurning
then pore over you the morning of the final and weep
Rudolf the Sleep-Deprived Student
Rudolf the Sleep-Deprived Student
was only ever hyped up on coffee
and if you ever saw him
you would doubt he’d finish his degree
Then one foggy 8:30 class
The prof came to say:
“Rudolph with your head nodding slow
I’m afraid a zero in participation I will bestow!”
Paycheques Roasting on an Open Fire
Paycheques roasting on an open fire,
Papa Petter nipping on your tuition,
Financial situation is dire,
At least this part-time pays commission
All I Want in January
All I want in January is a passing grade
hung on by barely a thread last year
needed some winter cheer
now I’m ready to continue the academic cascade
hoping for a “meets expectations” fate
Deck the 145
Deck the 145 with winter coats and antisocial earphones
Compass-card beeps x9
‘Tis the season to read Reddit and ignore your classmates
“Please move to the rear of the bus” x9
