I Don't Want To Go To Class


I don’t want to go to class I don’t want to eat vegetables I don’t want to read my history book I don’t want to give a presentation I don’t want to study for Biology or Psychology or Anthropology I don’t want to write an essay I don’t want to have to spend so much time applying for scholarships I don’t want to research the Zhou Dynasty I don’t want to find the solution to 2x-3=21020245458748576 I don’t want to take the time to read the really long number in that solution I don’t want to clean my room I don’t want to be in debt I don’t want to get lectured by my parents on how important college is I don’t want to buy ink for my printer I don’t want to drink more water than I do soda… I want to be successful I want to have a huge house I want to own a boat I want a nice car I want to hire a maid I want to make straight A’s and have a 4.0 GPA I want to be healthy I want to be able to easily find things in my room I want to be happy I want to make my parents proud I want to make my whole family proud I want to make a difference I want to get scholarships so that I don’t have to take out any more loans I want to change the world I want to change people lives for the better I want to stand up for what’s right I want to be strong I want to have a family of my own I want to graduate on time I want to be a hero I want to do so many things…I…I…I I guess I better go to class
