Title: College Life Is Killing Us
Premise: I am stressed about college life. Several MLP characters come to try and console me. We sing a parody of "Christmas Time Is Killing Us" from the Family Guy episode "Road To The North Pole".
Personal Comments: I do not own Family Guy or MLP. I do not profit from this.
This song got stuck in my head last night when my roommate was watching this on our TV. Pretty catchy, don't you think. If you haven't seen the episode or heard the song, you probably won't be able to follow along with this.
Have you noticed all the popular cartoons with musical numbers? Family Guy? Phineas and Ferb? My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic? All of these I am a fan of (or use to be a big Phineas and Ferb fan).
This is another rare instance where I insert myself into the story. Also in this drabble is my second personality, Werdna. Think of him as Gollum's evil side for me.
You know when this idea popped into my head, it was in the middle of the day, right after a class. That was when I was feeling overwhelmed by all this stuff. But now, it's night now that I'm finishing up. I had a fun game night at one of my favorite clubs, so I feel much better. Still, who's to say I won't go back to feeling all of this the next day? Or sooner or later? Well whatever. I'll see.
The way I went about writing this is that I wrote down a bunch of verses in my journal as they came to my head, and then somewhat tried to organize them when I typed them up here. It felt a little disorganized as I wrote it down. You may also notice that I couldn't think of my own verses. I thought of more duets to do with the other characters. This was the most I could come up with today by tonight. I think I've expressed most of what's stressing me out here at college.
So here we go.
I was sitting around in my dorm room at my desk, staring down at my biology paper. I was trying to figure out where to start.
Suddenly, a rift from the Andrew Zone opened up, and out came several characters of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
"Hey, Andrew," Rainbow Dash demanded. "It's been forever since you updated any decent stories besides the Drabble Box! What gives?"
"Do you have ANY idea what I've been going through here at college?" I replied.
"I don't think they do, buddy," the shadowy, hooded figure named Werdna answered for them. He appeared out from behind me. "Why don't you explain it to them?"
"I will," I nodded, standing up from my desk. "I song!" And with that, I leapt out and into the rift, followed by Werdna and all the MLP characters. We landed in a twisted world where my imagination runs wild, and everything I says goes. (Use your imagination to picture it. It's something like Cool World.)
I snap my fingers, and the area turns into some twisted version of my college campus.
"Hit it, Minion!" I pointed over to Megamind's robotic-suited fish. He hits a button on his boombox, and the foreboding music plays, and our song begins.
"Vinyl Scratch coulda done that," Pinkie Pie whispered to Rainbow.
Me:
Work comes in piles it takes up so much whiles
if they were charcoals they'd be grilling us!
And on weeks of decline I don't know what to do with my time
Because college life is killing us!
I won't look for a job cause I'm a lazy snob.
When my savings are gone they'll start billing us!
I don't work out enough cause I have all this stuff
And so college life is killing us!
Rarity:
But can't you see that all through life,
You will face this strife?
Princess Luna:
Can't you see you'll have a career,
It's all worth your tears?
Me:
No, screw you! Can't you get it through?
There's so much to do!
In the world of today,
I may find no job or pay!
(Short Instrumental)
So I got all these clubs, but not that many with buds,
So I'm not sure which should be appealing us!
My roommate and his girlfriend come over at ten,
showing I have no life and just chilling us!
Some movies look fun, but nobody will come,
Anxiety and loneliness is filling us.
While they all go hang out, I sit off of their rout,
You see college life is killing us!
My obsession with ponies grows stronger than Krony's,
It tortures when it should be thrilling us!
So while everyone booms, I sit in my dark room,
And so college life is killing us!
Thunder Strike:
But can't you see that's just who you are?
You're going to far?
Rainbow Dash:
Can't you see that you have friends?
This is NOT the end?
Werdna:
Go to Hell! This poor soul ain't well.
Let him keep his shell!
He wants no parade,
He just wants to get laid!
(Instrumental)
Gilda:
You should know you're a whiney bass!
Get up off your ass!
Shining Armor:
Don't you know you have essays to
Write and quizzes few.
Me:
Yes, I know! I'm not use to work!
I've had so much perks!
Please, stop rubbing it in,
Or I'll shred you to ribbons!
(Short Instrumental)
I study so much, but just don't get the clutch.
Hoping all of my notes will be filling us.
And then comes the test, my scores aren't the best,
And the blow of it is killing us!
Trixie:
Well can't you see that's just not enough?
You should know more stuff?
Discord:
Can't you see that all you need
Is right here indeed?
Me:
I suppose I could work some more,
And find help from four
So I'll admit that yes,
I could study more I guess.
(Instrumental)
Twilight Sparkle:
Can't you see that you shouldn't dread?
It's all in your head.
Applejack:
Can't you see when you look a tad,
It ain't all that bad?
Werdna:
Don't listen! You're a whiney bitch,
Just stick with this itch!
Me:
That's right. I'm a sad piece of crap,
Rainbow Dash:
Dude, you need a slap!
(Instrumental... again? Really?)
Me:
My brain's out of might, I'm just so full of spite.
I'm at college! It should be unveiling us!
But time flies so fast, moments of piece just don't last... (hold the note for effect)
Me and Werdna:
Because college life is killing us!
Killing us!
College life is killing us!
Can't really think of a good or clever ending to this little drabble.
This is one other verse for me I thought of but couldn't fit in here:
You and all your band, You don't understand.
