So, I’ve been listening to the Avenue Q soundtrack for the past hour, and the following song hit kinda close to home. Show of hands for anyone who agrees…
Movie: Avenue Q
Artist: Unknown Artists
Song: I Wish I Could Go Back to College
KATE MONSTER: I wish I could go back to college. Life was so simple back then.
NICKY: What would I give to go back and live in a dorm with a meal plan again!
PRINCETON: I wish I could go back to college. In college you know who you are. You sit in the quad, and think, “Oh my God! I am totally gonna go far!”
ALL: How do I go back to college? I don’t know who I am anymore!
PRINCETON: I wanna go back to my room and find a message in dry-erase pen on the door! Ohhh… I wish I could just drop a class…
NICKY: Or get into a play…
KATE MONSTER: Or change my major…
PRINCETON: Or fuck my T.A.
ALL: I need an academic advisor to point the way! We could be… Sitting in the computer lab, 4 A.M. before the final paper is due, Cursing the world ’cause I didn’t start sooner, And seeing the rest of the class there, too!
PRINCETON: I wish I could go back to college!
ALL: How do I go back to college?! AHHHH…
PRINCETON: I wish I had taken more pictures.
NICKY: But if I were to go back to college, Think what a loser I’d be- I’d walk through the quad, And think “Oh my God…”
ALL: “These kids are so much younger than me.”
