Haiku Friday: Choosing your college
A few days ago, I told the story of how I chose to go to William and Mary. Most, but not all Razorites have a similar story; for those of you who didn't go to college (often a decent choice) or haven't yet had the chance (because, say, you are in 9th grade), go free-form and haiku about what you did when you left high school, or where you hope to go.
Here is mine:
Lemon drops did it;
Smiths fed them to me for years!
Then I was ready.
Now, it's your turn! Just make it 5 syllables/7/5, and write only in English, Spanish, French, or Romanian.

Mom said to stay close;
Far-off places intrigued me,
But I obeyed her.
Consequently, I
want my kids to see the world!
Pursue their own dreams.

These were parent's dreams:
Harvard, Dartmouth, Princeton, Yale.
I applied to two.
But somehow I knew:
Wellesley women will prevail!
Only to be there.

Canes in '90. I chose school
'Cause of one great game?
Alas, one moment,
Triumphant as it was, fueled
Inifinte passion.
Still, one moment,
Irrelevant as it was,
Birthed great decision.
