You’re a jerk,
You’re a freak,
Don’t you talk you geek?

Shut up,
Don’t talk to me
Raise your hands if you agree.

Don’t drink,
Don’t smoke,
Don’t hate,
Don’t have a stroke!
Last year, make it good
Just get A’s, you kind of should.

Deadlines,
Night Cries,
Outlines,
College Spies,
Transcripts,
Coffee sips,
FASFA,
College Trips.

Celebrate it’s almost over,
Just remember
Keep your composure.

Senior year is difficult. College apps are hard. I just put it into rhymes...
