Waiting to die

Well, I've been accepted to 2 universities. I'm going to Lethbridge. So basically, there goes any plans I had for adventure. There isn't time to go explore the universe when you're getting a bachelor in music and education. From now on my life will revolve around money. Doesn't that sound awful? You go through 12 years waiting, watching for the day you're set free and don't have to deal with grade school. That day is so close I can almost taste it now. But as soon as we leave we're hit with the unpleasant reality which is that life is expensive and full of responsibilities. So when are we really free? From the time we're born to our first day of Preschool? three, four years? how sad is that? We never get to be free because we're either worried about passing the next test or paying the next bill.So what is life? is life just waiting to die? That's not what I want. We're always looking forward. Forward to the weekend or spring break or the summer or to graduate. it never ends. The constant waiting. so What is life? Waiting. waiting waiting. Well I'm done waiting. I need to start living. because waiting is boring and really what is life if what's happening in the present doesn't matter? Just live on an impulse, set myself free, live each day as my last. That's what i need to start doing. In the wise words of an animated tortoise "yesterday is history, tomorrow's a mystery, but today is a gift, that is why they call it the present."
