student #

being a student can feel like a drag
the homework, the stress—it piles up,
but maybe it’s not so bad
when you think of all the naps waiting for you
in between the madness.

the late nights, the early mornings,
the too little sleep—
sometimes, it’s easier to laugh at it all,
scroll through a few memes
and forget how tired you really are.

you try to workout,
but your body feels weak.
maybe pizza and ice cream
are the reward you need
just for making it through the day.

family pressure, expectations,
the constant comparisons,
the doubt that sneaks up
when you least expect it—
but maybe it’s okay to tune it all out
with a quiet “i don’t care” under your breath.

you feel alone,
like no one gets it,
but the solitude gives you space
to claim as your own.
maybe that’s enough, for now.

and love?
you haven’t found it yet,
but at least you have netflix
to fill the gaps
where companionship should be.

the struggles are real,
and sometimes it feels like
the road is endless.
but maybe it helps
to throw a meme out there,
laugh a little,
because sometimes, that’s all you can do
to get through the mess.

reach out when you need to—
there’s always someone willing to listen.
and even when it feels hard,
remember that laughter
might just be what gets you
through another day.
