I Need This Scholarship


It's going to be hard you know.

I know.

You'll probably pay student loans until you're fifty.

I know.

These classes you want to take are rigourous.

I know.

Housing isn't free you know.

I know.

You're going to have buy a new computer for your classwork.

I know.

It's important you apply for these.

I know.

You're going to be so far away from us.

I know.

If you start partying or doing drugs we WILL find out.

I know.

You have to take this stuff seriously, take charge.

I know.

 

How much is tuition again?

Really? Per semester??

WOW!

 

I know.
