13 days till princeton accepts me

Thirteen days left, the clock runs slow,
Yet in my heart, excitement grows.
The gates of Nassau call my name,
A dream I’ve chased, a destined flame.

Twelve nights of wonder, mind unfurls,
Visions of ivy-covered pearls.
I trace the past, the steps they tread,
And picture where my own are led.

Eleven echoes, whispers bright,
Princeton’s halls glow in golden light.
Through libraries vast and towers tall,
I see my future—hear the call.

Ten beats stronger, nerves arise,
Still, I stand with fearless eyes.
The orange and black, the tiger’s stride,
No doubt within, just Princeton pride.

Nine stars shine in Jersey’s sky,
Guiding hope as days go by.
Each moment builds, each breath is new,
A path I carve, a dream in view.

Eight more dawns, the world stands still,
Fate unwinds its iron will.
Yet through the wait, I know my place—
A scholar’s heart, a tiger’s grace.

Seven sighs, but not in fear,
A future bold is drawing near.
No ‘what ifs’ now, just what will be—
The legacy that starts with me.

Six more nights, the letters fold,
Inside, my story will be told.
The fire within has forged my way,
No matter what the page will say.

Five more heartbeats, strong and true,
Belief is all I ever knew.
Princeton waits—I stand prepared,
For all I’ve built, for all I’ve dared.

Four more hours, the world holds tight,
A silent storm before the light.
But courage roars, my soul is free—
I know that Princeton’s meant for me.

Three more steps, the countdown fades,
Destiny, like ivy, braids.
I breathe it in—the wait is done,
My Princeton tale has just begun.

Two hands clasp, the dream ignites,
Tomorrow's carved in orange stripes.
The banner waves, the gates swing wide,
And I step in with tiger pride.

One last second, fate takes flight—
Thirteen days, and then… my right.
