As others have mentioned, perhaps upping your word choice/vocabulary would make the poem a bit stronger, but it's definitely very relatable, especially when the stress of going back to school starts settling in after the holidays! I enjoyed the consistent rhyme scheme (though that may be a personal preference. I want to commend you for the repetition that takes place in all three stanzas -- "so", "this is", and "they got" captured my attention through what I assume is the intentional implementation of assonance. Just a tiny grammatical comment -- a period is missing from the very last line of the poem but aside from that, I think it's great that you're getting back into writing and holiday break is the perfect time to do so.
