If you're a student in college...

If you're a student in college, someone is bound to ask you what you're studying.
When you answer this question, they will ask you what you want do with your degree.
This impromptu interview will remind you that you really should be studying, so you will quickly dismiss yourself and hit the books.
Doing your math homework will remind you that you really don't like math, so you will go buy a snack instead.
As you buy your breakfast cookie at exactly 3:27 p.m., you will remember that you were supposed to call your mother before your breakfast.
When you make the call, you will see a clipping of job advertisements on the cork board.
The advertisements will remind you that you really need some work experience.
Your need of work experience will remind you that you really have no idea for what field you need it.
This quandary will remind you that you that you really need to declare a major.
And when you declare your major, someone is bound to ask you what you plan to do with it.

I seem to be very fond of parodies lately. For my Honors assignment, I had the idea of writing a poem instead of a standard essay, and my prof approved. It is a parody of Dante's Inferno from Muhammad's perspective, written in iambic pentameter and (almost) terza rima. It has been quite fun to write, but more than a little painstaking. This song has helped a lot, though. Heh, heh.
