A holiday poem
KARA OPPENHEIM
COLUMNIST
'Twas the weeks before Christmas
At a small college in Maine.
With finals approaching,
Everyone was insane.
Last minute work meant students were stressed,
But holiday parties didn't allow for any rest.
With a five-week break looming,
Can relationships be maintained?
After so much time apart,
Will things be the same?
At home there are old boyfriends and girlfriends, you see,
Should you return to former habits? Is that too naughty?
Your high school sweetheart looks so hot,
It's such an easy trap,
'Cause it's quite simple just to cuddle up with them
For a long winter's nap.
Well, it's perfectly fine to go back to the ex,
Just clear it with the Polar Bear with whom you're having sex.
If there's a guy or a girl
You've only started to date
You could just end it now,
But if you really like them, of late,
You might want to establish before going away
What can happen over break and what's not okay.
If it's more than just casual,
You two need to decide
If at home to say "Sorry, I'm taken"
And by what rules you will abide.
Some think it doesn't count if it happens over the holiday
Which is great, as long as everyone agrees it's that way.
So clear it up now,
Before bells start to jingle,
Because if you treat it lightly now,
You might come back single!
