The time is ticking and I am a nervous wreck,
Everyone is getting accepted but me, what the heck?
All I want is that letter in the mail
Telling me that my college ship can officially sail.
I applied to my schools so early and still have not heard back,
What if I didn't get in anywhere? I will have a heart attack!
Ramapo, Rutgers, Montclair, and more,
When will I know what my future is for sure?
I came home that day and there it was in front of me,
A tiny little envelope that I wasn't sure I wanted to see.
The corner said "Ramapo College" and I was sure it was a decline,
I couldn't find the courage to open the envelope that was mine.
I opened the paper slowly and surely what I found,
Was my first college acceptance! I nearly fell to the ground.
I feel so proud of myself for getting into a great school,
I proved to myself that I surely am no fool.
