Summer has come and passed, and the carefree, innocent part of you that never had to cram like this didnโt last.
When the thought of pressing that fast-forward button this week deepens as youโre stuck between the melancholy of escaping and the bravery of showing up.
The final stretch of September may be a week youโd just want to sleep through with the midterm exams waving on our calendar.
Here comes the rain of terms and concepts you need to comprehend falling from the stars you wish to reach. While you are drenched in pain of showing up all over again, you become a person your past could only meet as someone new.
Like a bear getting ready to hibernate, you are in your room with your desk buried with reviewers, the laptop screen flashes until they blur, and your mind feels full and empty at the same time.
You feel the feeling that makes you want to close your eyes and wake up when the weekโs worth of exhaustion is gone, though it has only just begun.
But soon, the week will surely be behind you. October will be taking over and you will be wide awake carrying the month-long realizations tucked in the back of your mind. This week, too, shall pass, and it could be fast.
