An Ode To a Levels
An Ode to A levels
I thought I would try A levels, how hard could it be?
Since then I have concluded, it’s not my cup of tea.
Brainwashed into obsessing over grades on a test,
They seem to matter more than the fact I have progressed.
It's no longer about studying subjects I love,
It's about ensuring I reach the level above.
A levels have forced me to work late into the night,
A levels have taught me, my work still won’t be right.
A levels have shown me that, coffee is essential,
To ensure my work is done, to its full potential.
For hours I revise from; quotes, facts, dates and so much more,
Why is it better to study, than it is to explore?
I say no to opportunities, so I can highlight my notes,
With no time for experiences, all I know will be quotes! (Thanks Shakespeare!)
I don’t understand the reason for revision,
Is because going to Uni is apparently our vision.
A levels have forced me to work late into the night,
A levels have taught me, my work still won’t be right.
Yet, A levels continue to make me smile,
As I see if my work pays off after a while.
