A College Quest
On my grand pursuit I did set out,
Stocked with snacks and one good suit.
The college apps, they call my name,
And here starts the application game.
First, the essay — oh, what to write?
Shall I talk about my fear of flight?
Or how I binge-watched every show,
Instead of learning what I don’t know?
“Tell us why you’d like to apply.”
Well, free Wi-Fi would be a lie?
I say with confidence, of course,
“Your school’s the best!” — I say to four.
Next, the test scores: “How’d I do?”
(Spoiler: math just wasn’t my cue.)
But hey, I aced the pizza quiz,
Is that not relevant to this?
Recommendations come in late,
I swear my teacher sealed my fate.
“Hardworking, bright, but loves to nap” —
Okay, she wasn’t wrong about that.
Extracurriculars, let’s see what fits:
Chess club? Nah. I quit in bits.
Remember that one time I ran?
Does “marathon nap” count in the plan?
Now, onto financial aid. Let’s be real,
Who knew tuition would break your back?
“Just sell a kidney!” friends all tease,
I laugh, but. one kidney’s no tease.
Finally, I hit submit with glee,
Now it’s out of my hands, you see.
I’ve done the work, the forms, the grind,
It’s time to let them read my mind.
And if they ask me for more flair,
I’ll tell them this: I’m almost there.
Just all my quirks and dreams in store,
Slither on down and see what’s in store!
