UK Trip

On Monday November 18th, I went on a high school college trip UK. UK was my third option of colleges, one being UC and two being OU. I was undecisive weather I should go or not since it was my third option, but decided to go and see what the campus was like. They gave me the UK college application to fill out before the trip but the best part was that the fee was waved!
It was a two hour long bus ride trip but when we got there it was worth it for all the activities we got to do. We were given breakfast and free UK accessories while we sat through a little lecture in a auditorium. At the end we all had to sing UK's theme song. After that we all went in the cafetria to recieve more papers and info on what careers they have on the campus. Then we all got a nice hot lunch and a show of musicians on a stage and frat houses showing us their dances. I was telling my friends that came on the trip about how we wished princeton could nice hot food for us that UK served us. It was a good little laugh.
After we all ate, we were given a big tour of the campus and it was huge! There was a lot of walking around that place, maybe that was why their were so many bikes in front of each building. We also got see the dorms which were cute to me, some people thought it was too small. 
After tour we were sent home for another long trip home. I really enjoyed that trip being my first and probably my only one and I hope to hear from UK soon about my application.

Laughed?


Laughed?


As I was a child I grew up differently from everyone else.

I played games alone, games like:

Hopscotch,

            Jump rope,

                        And Tic-Tac-Toe.

Other kids thought I was weird and awkward to be around,

But I didn’t know why.

Maybe it was because I started school to early,

Or my parents were never married when they had me,

Or maybe close to having me at a young age.

 As I grew I learned to accept the weirdness,

And I even made friends along the way.

I even made friends with people, who also still laughed at me.

But now the tables have turned.

Today I laugh at them

Thinking they’re weird and awkward,

Because their form of normality is,

Smoking,

            Doing drugs,

                        Drinking,

                                    Skipping school,

                                                And goofing off a lot.

And they laughed at me?

The only type of laughing is towards them.

They’re the ones, who decided to take this wrong path of life,

While I took the right path of life.

While I’m in college,

They’ll be struggling between jobs and living pay check to pay check.

Hell, they’ll still probably be doing drugs and spending all their money to have some everyday.

I laugh at them,

Because they laughed at me,

For what?
