I arrived at college thinking that it would be like the movies, but boy was I WRONG.
I'm stuck here alone and broke, just my luck,
What can I say? Growing up sucks,
I'm getting fat because all I do is snack,
Don't grow up, it's a trap,
I have to set about seven alarms in the morning, not just one,
I'll let you in on something, growing up isn't fun,
I have all these responsibilities now, things I must do on my own time,
If I could go back to being little with no care in the world, that would be fine,
I'm running low on shampoo, I only have a small glob,
I'm seriously hoping this can of dry shampoo will do the job
I have no quarters, so my laundry basket is overflowing in my closet,
I don't use this textbook anyways, maybe I can hock it,
I stay up so late doing homework that I nearly fall asleep in class,
But I can't get by on exam grades alone, my parents would kick my ass,
I failed a math exam but luckily she curved the grade,
Now I'm only three letter grades away from an A,
I bought a fish so that it would make our dorm feel more "homey,"
A pet was supposed to fill my empty void but this guy is definitely a phony,
Our floor of the dorm is pretty nice, all girls, so there is always perfume in the air,
Just don't use the showers, they're cobwebbed with hair,
I have about eight exams next week and three assignments due at 11:59,
And I still haven't really learned how to manage my time,
I guess all of this is just part of growing up,
So to those who aren't in college yet — good luck!
