Roses are red and violets are blue,

I haven't slept since about week two.

I think I'm dying, or maybe getting sick,

Either way, I just hope it happens quick.

My laundry and assignments are piling up,

I don't know which to start first.

Why can I only find one sock?

Ugh, this is the worst.

"Maybe I should just drop out,"

I think to myself at least three times a day.

I just really miss my cat,

What can I say?

This week is never ending,

The weekend must be close.

PSYCH! It's only Tuesday.

I am literally so done.

Wasn't this whole college thing supposed to be fun?

I try to get at least eight hours of sleep at night,

And usually I do.

Except on Thirsty Thursdays,

Oh what a delight!

It's not that I go out,

No, that's not really my thing.

But it's very hard to sleep at night,

With people in the hallway who love to scream and shout.

Now I've lost my train of thought,

I had something to say.

I guess I should just stop here,

Call it a day.

There are definitely lots of things I should be doing,

Assignments or whatever.

Or I could just stay in bed and binge on Netflix,

Yes, that sounds so much better.

Well now that I've sufficiently procrastinated,

I should probably get back to work.

There's always something I should be doing,

Reality is such a jerk.

I'm pretty sure this stress is aging me,

Is it really worth it?

Sometimes I think not.

But then I look into my wallet, at the two dollars I have left.

"Yeah," I say with a sigh, "That's what I thought."

Okay, time to focus,

Now I mean it for real.

I need to find that other sock,

And maybe have a cup of tea.

Man, this college life is crazy,
