day:monday
time:10.00

3. two months

4. It was the first day at college
Everyone was carrying luggage
Were they all homeless and why?
Or they were just passing by

5. There was a place called
"college mid-garden"
But it wasn't very different from
kindergarten

6. They were playing guitars, singing and
taking pictures on the grass
Were they students or fans of Jason Mraz?

7. I remember well;
I heard that I would have so much fun
But I didn't know that I would have a
lecturer like a nun

8. I was also told about parties, spring
festivals and strong friendships
But nobody told me about the
presentations, professors or disappointing
relationships

9. I have to end my poem now;
Tomorrow will start the final final week
And it will terminate this wonderful gig

10. I know that nothing lasts forever
Like a scary and serious teacher

11. But beautiful memories will always remain
How those best years show that they were
not in vain

12. Thank You…
