Reflecting on my freshman year so far, I have discovered the "truth" about what going to college is actually like. Disclaimer: Freshman year has also been filled with amazing memories. But this is just a taste of what most people don't talk about.

College was once a distant dream
Designed in your mind, as a future scheme
Grow up and graduate, given as your goal
But suddenly you have a brand new role
*Blink* welcome to your first year
Think, your journey's just begun here
You're free, you're young, you're invincible
But wait
Why am I lonely
How did this happen
I'm having fun I swear
Because it's college, so I don’t care
But honestly it's becoming so rare
To find gals who are genuine
And fellas who are faithful
Search and search and you'll get Closer -
On repeat
What you say because no one can hear
Then a stranger will offer you a…
Smile; so simple but poisoned with the past
Are you having a blast?
You good? they asked
Take ten L's to get one W
Stay smart, don't get in trouble, you
Realize every face is a stranger
Deliberating your daze of danger
Middle of a crowd, everything so loud
You pretend to be so proud
Three months here but no one knows you
Beyond a face, first name, and fun fact
Stranger, suddenly makes an impact
On me. But then they flee
Right when they discover the inner most me
I don't know who to be!
I go back to tracking all the times
The truth - it's hidden in the rhymes
My expectations continue to fall
No one really knows me at all
