Oh, historymom,
The two of us should really
try to get a life!

Standardized testing.
Another Saturday, gone.
Sunday, I'll sleep in.

Applications in...
All over but the waiting...
April, come faster!

Spam in the inbox,
stacks and stacks of college mail,
but will they take me?

An application...
My life condensed to ten pages...
How will they know me?

Son, please come home now!
An envelope came today,
and I think it's fat!

First choice, deferral.
Your loss, Toots! My second choice
gave me merit aid!

Barely breathing, she
rips open the envelope.
YES! ... and the rest fades.

Filled out the FAFSA,
Our EFC is, what now?
Are they serious?
