I Promise This Isn't an Ironic Poem...

You can go to any college you want...

...except private colleges which cost way too much.

You can be anything you want to be...

...except an arts major, come on don't you want to make money?

Senior year will be so much fun...

...until reality comes crashing down on you and you realize everything will be different next year.

College is a great opportunity...

...to lose thousands of dollars and send you into the real world with a diploma and crippling debt.

You need to get a job to help save up for tuition...

...but you also need to focus on AP classes, extracurriculars, community service, club involvement, sports, National Honors Society, and applying to 9 different colleges.

Too much stress isn't good for you...

...but there is no way you're going to miss school for your "mental health".

2016 will be a great finish to your high school years.............
