"Let it Go" Parody: Spring Finals Shenanigans Part 4

Spring Shenanigans Part 4

I'm still supposed to be studying for my Victorian lit final. But I've been concocting a parody of "Let it Go" from Frozen for a few days, and I just couldn't hold it back anymore. So I let it go and posted it on Facebook for the world to see. I'll let you see it, too!


The stars are bright over campus tonight, not a student to be seen...
The College of Desperation, and it looks like-- I'm the dean.
My soul is crying 'cause my GPA has died.
Couldn't keep it up. Heaven knows I tried...
Don't let them see I failed the test!
I'm that good kid who should have done her best.
If I'd done more, could I have passed?
It's in the past...
Let it go. Let it go!
Can't think of it anymore.
Let it go! Let it go!
Time to open a new door.
Here I stand
At a brand new day.
Let the grades fall down...
We'll all get a summer break anyway.




I must admit, if I spent more time studying and less time parodying, I probably wouldn't have to sing songs about failing finals.

Not that I've failed a final... yet. Guess I'd better get hot on this Victorian lit.

"A Castaway" Abridged



A less-than-charitable cartoon of Augusta Webster's "A Castaway." It's about the life of a Victorian prostitute. I wish I could be more specific, but the poem kinda goes all over the place. It's a dramatic monologue, and the speaker, Eulalie, is talking to herself about... well, her life.

I definitely learned a lot about Victorian prostitution in my research for this paper. So, like, if you ever need to know about Victorian prostitutes...

(probably the only thing I didn't learn was how to draw them...)
