Capo 3 Am Em Salt in the shower makes those cheerios turn soggy. Drunk drive on power when the receiver goes faulty.

I’m shivering for two reasons: one, i’m cold two, i’m excited Here’s some reasons for those reasons: one, it’s winter, and two, I’m going to graduate now, graduating means moving, basically not just, like left and right, y’know, but in a direction. and specifically for graduating, that direction is forward, or up, depending on what metaphor you like. I like forward because it’s easier to look forward than up. So where does moving forward get you? Well, one step in the direction your facing. And that one step is special because it’s the next step, the step that separates the future you from hte present you. Our metaphor is time-travel now, apparently. So, I’m graduating, moving forward, the next step. There’s a lot of fear here, a lot of confusion and a couple of questions one, What do I do next? is it quote-unquote ‘real job’ time now? How do I do that? also, what is a real job? and what happens if I can’t get one? what if I wanna go learn some more stuff in that grad school thing, how do I do that? what if I can’t do that? what if I don’t make it? whoa, hey, take it easy, have a bagel All these questions can be pretty damn scary if you don’t kno how to answer ‘em, but all you gotta do, really, is answer this question: what’s the next step? eat breakfast, take a shower, have your coffee. Focus on the little steps, cuz those big steps, those big freaky step, all they really are a just a series of little steps.
