We Are College Students
*We go to classes.
*We read and absorb and are comprehensively tested on heavy amounts of various materials.
*We sleep very little.
*Someone is always sick.
*Someone is always complaining.
*We become attached to close friends.
*We smother each other.
*We lean too much.
*We think often of the past and want to go back.
*We know we cannot.
*We all have separate lives, families, backgrounds and pasts.
*We live totally different from how we used to live.
*We are frustrated and sometimes want to give up, but we never stop trying.
*We disregard health.
*We eat awful foods.
*We are forced to think about the future.
*We are scared and confused.
*We reach out for things, yet we don't find them.
*We try to sort out our minds, which are filled with studies, worries, problems, memories, emotions-powerful feelings.
*We wander the halls looking for happiness.
*We hurt-- a lot.
*We keep going, though, because above all else, we never stop learning, growing, changing, and most important dreaming.
*Dreams keep us going and they always will.
*All we can do is thank God that we have something to hold onto, like dreams and each other.
