What's After High School?

It's scary when you realize what's here

School is almost over

Graduation is almost here

Nothing has prepared me

College is close

 

How do I fill out FAFSA?

How do I win scholarships?

How much do my grades actually matter?

 

Where will I go?

Where will I live?

Where will I work?

 

Why do I need to go?

Why do I need to work?

Why did I think I could do this?

 

No one answers these questions

And no one is expected to help

 

You should know this

You should've looked up this earlier

Starting at the beginning of junior high of course

It never crossed your mind so far ahead

But now it's here

And now you're screwed.
