you’re completely clueless
how all of this works
though you’ve done your research
major requirements, campus tips;
you’ve watched every move-in video you could find
you weren’t really sure which college would fit you
so you picked one - out of a hat
gut feelings don’t lie right?

how hard could it really be
its only college
you only need to create yourself
do whatever you wanted to do
but didn’t have a chance to
reinvent yourself
figure out you like who you are
but you don’t know how long it will take
and who you’ll be at the end of this journey
1 2 3, 1 2 3, 1 2 3
you wake up crying at 3 am
you don’t know why
its your dream school
that you’ll be starting in a week
but you know you’ll be leaving everyone behind
you can’t make an 8 hour trip every weekend
and you don’t think you should be
because it would mean that you don’t fit
that you aren’t ready
and you have to be ready
because college starts in a week

you don’t deserve it
that’s what you hear
how did you get in when he didn’t
you’re taking up someone else’s space
their spot
to join a community and shine
and you don’t want that
the people at that new school notice

the answer to every worry above
is that there may not be one
but you will have help figuring it out
if your major doesn’t fit, search for another
if your college doesn’t fit, search for another
both are allowed
you don’t have to know who you are
you have as long as you need to figure it out
Skype and FaceTime are beautiful things
and care packages are the best
we all cry sometimes
we all think we don’t have a place
and even if you don’t seize every opportunity
you know who you are
and you will make it
