Postscript: Romaji and color-coding by NekoKai, and translation by tangerine.

Translator's note: "C-grade judgement" means that the entrance exams for the college are quite hard and not many people actually pass them. (A-grade = pretty much assured pass, B-grade = reachable pass)

時代のせいにはしたくはないけど
悩んじゃうな
都会一人暮らし(ぐらし)ってやっぱ酷(きび)しいのかなぁ

田舎を出るには立派な建前
必要だわ
国立大学(こくりつだい)はやっぱC判定・・・微妙

中学時代の恋　UH
なんとなく懐かしいな
「悩み」とかかわいかった

Why not?　最終的にゃ私の人生だし
反対されたってめげない信念
Why not?　遠距離の恋　想像してみたけれど
なんかまだピンとこないなぁ　大丈夫かなぁ…

私立になったならバイトをしろって
条件だわ
バイトと勉強　まるでたまご&鶏

いっそ就職をするとなったなら
インストラクター！？
こんな田舎じゃスポーツジムも少ない

ダイエット来年がんばろう
空腹は受験の敵
そこが良いって彼も言うし…

Why not?　誰かの為の努力じゃないんだし
躊躇をする意味なんてないんだし
Why not?　いつかは海外　住んでみたいけれど
最初のこの山場を脱出しなきゃね

I don't wanna blame it on this generation
but I'm worried
I wonder if living alone in the city is hard?
 
To leave the countryside, you need a really good education
Seems Kokuritsu University has C-grade judgement
That sucks
 
My loves from my middle school years
It's so nostalgic
My "worries" from back then seem so silly now
 
Why not? In the end, it's my life after all
And even if I get told "no", I'll never be discouraged
Why not? I tried picturing a long distance relationship
But it doesn't quite strike me yet. I wonder if it's okay?
 
"If you go to a private college, then you should get a job"
That's their only condition
Working & studying, it's like the egg and the chicken
 
If I have to pick a job after all, then
maybe being an instructor!?
But in such a small town, there aren't that many gyms
 
I'll start my diet next year
An empty stomach is your worst enemy when having exams
And he says he likes me better this way too...
 
Why not? It's not like I'm doing all this effort for someone else
It doesn't even make sense to hesitate that much
Why not? I'd like to live overseas someday
But first I gotta work everything out
