We came from different towns
Different states
Different countries
We grew with different friends
Different toys
Different parents
Some of us imagined spaceships
Some of us played princesses
Some of us bullied kids on the playground
Despite all we went through
All the scars we can’t get rid of
All the mistakes we can’t take back
We ended up here
Making our own choices
Making the best of what we have
We grew up to fast
And time won’t stop for us
It won’t stop for nothing
It moves so quick some might get left behind
Some might never feel like they belong
Some might get lost along the way
But for now we’re all the same
We’re all trying to find our place
We’re all grown up now
We came from different places
We grew up in different ways
We all ended up here
Brand new freshmen
Without a place in the world
The college class of 2025
