Describes exactly how I feel about the college life right about now. Can’t wait till winter break =D

Monologue

Cars whizzing by, people passing, the sound of trains as they roar beneath you.
It’s a hard time in your life and you don’t know why..
You ask yourself why you feel so down..

You know why.

Your girlfriend just left you..
you have a test on Wednesday..
There’s still that book to read for English class..
Little things mixed in with big things…

You know, that kind of stuff..

You ask yourself why you feel so sad..

You have a great family,
you have food on your plate..
you have a free education..
So many good things in your life right now…

Why are you sad?

People in other places have it much harder..

They’re hungry..
They’re thirsty..
They’re struggling to survive..

You have it good.

You say all this..

You know it’s all in vain..
Trying to make yourself feel better..
Trying to help yourself..

But you still think of her all the time..
Still have that test on Wednesday..
And you still have to read that book..

“Time heals all wounds” you say.

“I’ll get over the break up eventually.”
“I’ll be done with that test eventually.”
“I’ll read that book eventually.”
It doesn’t help.

You sit on the train, tunnels whizzing by, people minding their own business..

You wonder why that test has to be so stressful…
Why that book is so boring..

Why it had to end so soon..

My first song, All the right moves, somehow always gives me the feeling that no matter how good you are, or how awesome you may be, there will always be another individual that will take you down. It brings a quote into mind from one of my professors “Big fish eats little fish, but there is a bigger fish around the corner”
My second song, The fighter, symbolizes my super awesome will to fight. There may be a bigger fish around the corner, but I can just always swim away and eat a lot of smaller fishes and then come back to eat the bigger fish.
My third song, one that everyone has undoubtedly heard, Hall of Fame by The Script, is one of my most favorite songs. When I listen to it I always have the hope that I will, one day, be standing in the hall of fame wether it be in Fencing(my favorite sport) or in other endeavors.
My fourth song, Life is a Highway, represents the thought that even though it would be nice to be famous in the future and have money, the ride there can be just as enjoyable. It reminds me to slow down and enjoy the little things.
My fifth song, Payphone, actually brings a bit of my romantic life into the picture. When I listen to it I remember all of the good times that I’ve had with my girlfriend and I feel like if I were in that situation, I would definitely spend all of my change trying to contact her.
My sixth song, Superheros by The Script(which came out recently), reminds me to do something great when I have a chance to. I am not a victim of horrible circumstances, but it still doesn’t mean that I don’t have a super hero in me just waiting to come out.
My seventh song, Waiting for the end, is a song that sort of brings things into perspective for me. Where I am is not at the beginning or the end, but in between, and that means that I still have work to do to get to the end.
My eighth song, Wiggle, actually has no significance to me lyrics-wise as all the previous songs had, but it’s beat and comical delivery reminds me to have a fun side, and be a fun guy.
My ninth song, The best day of my life, brings me to treat everyday as it’s going to be the best day of my life. I would rarely be in a bad mood because this song always gives me a special boost.
My tenth song, Airplanes, is a song that gives me hope for the future, a song that I interpret as meaning: we all have our down days, but we can wish for better ones, and then fulfill our own wish as we live our daily lives. That’s why it’s so great. And Hayley Williams was really good in this song too.
