I’m a college kid, and I’m going to go big,

I'm a college kid, and there's a legacy to live!

I’m a college kid, and I kinda wanna quit,

I’m just a little kid, and I’m losing all my sh

 

I'm a college kid, already in my second year,

I’m a college kid, and there's nothing that I fear!

I'm a college kid, and I’ll get that diploma,

I'm just a little kid and life is losing its chroma!

 

I'm a college kid and I guess that's all fine,

I'm a college kid and I want to turn back time!

I’m a college kid and life doesn't make sense,

I'm just a little kid and I'm stuck in this nonsense!

 

I'm a college kid, and I’m working an internship,

I'm a college kid, I need to do that assignment,

I’m a college kid, I’m not a college kid,

I’m just a little kid and I don't wanna live like this!

    We are all school kids learning as we go and the lessons are homework given. Nicely written real and metaphorical. Well done

    We rush to grow up and then discover when we arrive that this whole adult thing is a load of malarkey!
