Grab an mp5 sub machine gun and some chaos emeralds and go to town. Dedicate the whole of your being to academic success? Learn to have fun at college without going overboard.
34. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
How about I just quote the whole thing? The song is "Never Turn Back" by Crush 40. It's the ending theme of Shadow the Hedgehog.
"It's been a long rough road
And I'm finally here
Move an inch forward, feels like a year
Everything I feel seems so unreal
Is it true
Is it true?
I take one step forward
And two steps back
Got a hundred thousand pounds sitting on my back
Up, down, all around
Don't know quite what to do
To get through
"But I'm on my way
On my way
On my way
On my way
Here I am (Here I am)
Made it to the end of you
Never had a chance while I'm around
No, no!
"No, no, no, no
Well now I'll never turn back (I'll never turn back)
Never turn that way
No matter how life tries to face me
I'll turn the other way
Now and then (now and then)
My head starts to spin (starts to spin)
But I'll never turn back
Again!
From this moment on (moment on)
I am moving on (moving on)
But I'll never turn back!
No!
"Guess I'm doing alright and I'm on my way
Facing ever moment, day by day
Take a chance going by
Got no time to answer why
Head straight, Head straight
Well what will I become if I don't look back?
Give myself a reason for this and that
I can learn, no U-turns
I will stay right here where I'm at
Where I'm at
"But I'm on my way
On my way
On my way
On my way
Here I am (Here I am)
Made it to the end of you
Never had a chance while I'm around
No, no!
"No, no, no, no
Well now I'll never turn back (I'll never turn back)
Never turn that way
No matter how life tries to face me
I'll turn the other way
Now and then (now and then)
My head starts to spin (starts to spin)
But I'll never turn back
Again!
From this moment on (moment on)
I am moving on (moving on)
But I'll never turn back!
No!
"I, I, I'll never turn back."
