Summary
The music video tells the story of a Carleton senior (Elizabeth Bukey '05) who finds herself falling in love, but has no time to pursue the object of her affections because she has to complete her comps. She sings about how she has no time to engage in normal Carleton activities, such as working out at the Rec or purchasing coffee at the snack bar. She lives in a nightmare of constant study, in which even if she were hit by a truck, her deadlines would remain constant.
