The following is something I wrote when I was just starting college. I found it when I was searching for some sheet music. Apparently, I was projecting my stress about waiting for my financial aid onto an imaginary amphibian.
Once upon a time, there was a little frog who had no money. You may be thinking that this is not a problem as frogs do not need money, but this frog wanted to go to college, which everybody knows takes money, so it was a problem that the frog had none. In order to fulfill his dream, the frog went to the admissions office of Pond School and applied for financial aid. Happily the frog received a financial aid award but his problems had really just begun.
A new softwater program had caused problems with the disbursement of financial aid and the frog had yet to receive any money. He was always going to the financial aid lily pad to find out when he would get his money so he could live out his dreams. He didn't have the support of any of his friends of family since none of them ever went to college and there was no precedent for such things, but the frog had high hopes. He wanted to do more than hop and he didn't want to just end up a fancy dish of frog legs so he kept going to the lily pad in a hope that one day his money for college would be there. The director of the lily pad financial aid said that the frog would just have to be patient. Every was working on the problem and they really wanted him to have the money since they had never seen a frog in college.
Usually they just have fish in their school.
