It helps if you sing it, just sayin’… Here’s the tune (But you really should know it already)

 

At first I was afraid, I was petrified

Kept thinking I could never live without home by my side

But then I spent so many nights thinking how us two were wrong

And I chose Hopkins, so I could finally get along!

 

But now I’m back from Freshman year,

I just drove in to find you here with the same look, where’s engineers?

Should I have done a summer course?

Is Baltimore the place for me?

Whatever folks, now I’ve got time to watch old reruns of Glee!

 

My friends said “Go!” I walked out the door,

I took the train down for a fun weekend in B’more!

It was like Hop and I had never said goodbye,

We made apple crumble, it tasted just like pie!

 

Oh, well I, I will survive!

As long as I’ve got Horcruxes I know I’ll stay alive

I’ve got best friends here who care, I’ve still got amazing hair

And I’ll survive, I will survive! (hey hey!)

 

It took all the strength I had to ace every class,

The hours I spent reading, Oh! my tired a**!

But I lovingly look back on nights I felt sorry for myself

Because with that work, I can now hold my head up high!

 

And you see me, somebody new

I’m not that dorky little person (ish) who’s still missin’ you.

I’m setting goals, I’m having fun, I feel completely free,

And I’m saving all my calories for the FFC!

 

Why can’t I go, around campus?

Being a tour guide, man that’s something that I miss!

What should I do these next two months, with no dorm and no things?

Guess I’ll keep blogging, I’ll just give advice and sing!

 

Because I, I will survive!

As long as I know I’ll return, I know I’ll stay alive

‘Cuz I’ve got three more years to live, and I’ve got so much more to give

And I’ll survive, I will survive, oh!
