College.
College: a special type of hell
Where you are stuck between homelessness and education.
That time where you are thrust into the world
And told that you need an education to thrive.
But in order to survive you need a job
To pay for this soul-sucking,
Wallet-leaching,
Confidence-crushing demon.
But that job also requires experience and knowledge of the profession.
And where might you get that?
That's right.
College.
Because we actively choose to fill our minds
With new information while stuffing our bodies
Full of watered down salt and processed noodles
Because let's be real.
Only at college does a book take priority over food.
Where the science book that you need
For the one semester of a required course
Costs more than a month’s rent.
