Freshman Year of College


Freshman year of college she’s parent’s free

Partying courageously screaming with anticipating excitement of being on her own,

Not having to answer to anyone or take care of anyone but herself

Unbounded and free is all she ever wanted.


Freshman year of college boys are everywhere

Waiting like predators seeking out their next prey

Acquainted with that knowledge she’s willing to risk it

Like a rebellious child.


Freshman year of college budgeting was not what she was expecting

Cutting back on the things she was used to buying

Spending more time in the cafe then with fast food

She partied less it took up too much time and money.


Freshman year of college if it wasn’t one class it was all of her classes

She begins to struggle,

She couldn't get by using the same work methods she did back then

Studying became part of her hobbies.


Freshman year of college she came to the realization shes not kid anymore

She didn't know that being in college came with this amount of responsibilities

Learning how to prioritze and balance things

It was becoming too complicated.


Freshman year of college she gets the responibilites of being a young adult

Things are starting to come together

She sees what it takes to becoming a young adult

She realizes she’s not a kid anymore

Freshman year of college.
