This road goes nowhere good
So I'm in the library at school right now..... And Ms. B keeps staring at me. She knows whats up. She knows I'm not doing homework. But the thign is, she can't leave her library desk right now because if she does, a bunch of people will steal books. Ha! Her assistant librarian (What do you think? Four years of college or six?) is home sick today so she's fighting the war by herself. She can't come over to bust me. She can't leave her post!!
The long weekend was nice, but now there is no spring break to look foreward to, and no more long weekends to look foreward to. Not even a snow day to hope for. Just flying into the sun until I graduate.... Which I am very scared for, by the way. I don't have the slightest idea what comes next for me. I can totally picture myself sitting at home all day writing in this livejournal about how great Emory is or something. I have no college planned. Might just end up with Lake superior College.
But maybe I wanna get out of this town?
We all say that we're gonna, but nobody does. This town sucks you up and twists you inside out. It breaks your spirit and leaves you desolate and without purpose sitting downtown staring at the sun setting on the lake thinking "God, I'm so lucky to live in a pretty place." Then you pick up the garbage bag containing all of your belongings and search for a nice patch of skywalk to make yourself at home in for the night. This town is a dead end. Jobs are few and far between, but opportunity is nonexistant alltogether. Nobody ever becomes anything here, and it's obvious to anyone who looks at the big picture. It's not just you, or your family, or your group of friends........ It's everyone here. It's all of us.
Story of everyone's life:
Tell yourself you'll find a job and work for a while til you can afford to get out of here.
You can't find a job and you lose everything
You finally find a job after everything is gone, but you make only enough to get by. Not enough to save anything.
You never get out of here
You live on broken dreams and stay in survival mode forever.
Wow. Depressing. Have a nice day everyone
