    Lyrics:
    “You try, yet you feel unsure of yourself and lie on the “failure floor.” Don’t you feel so down?
    Are you out? I know you are down, but are you out?
    Hyde Park! - Precious Blood! - Latin School! - USMA!
    Emmanuel! - BC! - Columbia! - Graduate!
    No one cares. It’s just a name.
    You are more than a degree.
    Rising pressure and stress to measure up to standards set so high in your mind.
    Are you out? I know you are down, but are you out?
    Out of hope? Are you out of hope?
    Out of drive? Are you out of drive?
    Out of love? Are you out of love with this life?
    Hyde Park! - Precious Blood! - Latin School! - USMA!
    Emmanuel! - BC! - Columbia! - Graduate!
    No one cares. It’s just a name. You are more than a degree.
    I don’t care what you make $$$. It’s who you love and what you gave.
    Up from your bed…
    Back in your way…
    Out of your head…
    Are you out? I know you are down, but are you out?
    Are you down? Are you out?”

    My teenage cousin is OBSESSED with getting into Stanford. It is as if her life will be over if she doesn't get in. It makes me really sad because, "no one cares" in real life. She's 15 and has no life because all she does is school. I was skateboarding, playing in bands, goofing around and still managed to get a degree and have a good life. Considered sending her this song, maybe with lyrics. Thoughts anyone?

      If that's what she wants then good luck to her. Hopefully, her parent's remind her that it's not the 'be all and end all' though because not all dreams are realised. I feel more sorry for the kids pressured by their parents, when it's obvious the kid neither wants it, nor are they really suited to said path.
