Burden of College


My glow-up did not involve me learning how to shift my life on track;

instead my glow-up taught me to never hult or look back.

In my realization of when this glow-up started to happen,

was when my finanical burdness of college came to my window and stated tappin'.

 

When I was in high school I was not really aware of such things as scholarships

or aware of the financial burdness I would soon struggle with,

but when my first year of college struck,

I was amazed by how much money they just took.

 

And during this first year a college, I had a first for everything;

my first time away from home and struggling alone on things.

It was my first time realizing how much my mother's cooking was a life supply

and my first time learning that cup of noodles had a fifty fifty chance of helping me live or die.

 

So my glow-up was realizing that scholarships and grants are now the world to me

as they will continue to increase my heal supply for part two of my glow-up series.
