"Seize the day, put no trust in the morrow!
[Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero.]"

I will be the first to admit it. I love planning. I can spend hours researching different schools, different majors and daydreaming about my future life. In fact, that's pretty much my favorite activity.
The problem with that is that I don't spend enough time just enjoying my time NOW. There is plenty of time in the future for me to live out all those daydreams, but in the meantime, I should be taking advantage of my college career! I dreamed about this throughout all of high school and here I am, still dreaming about the next step in life!
It seems ridiculous, and part of it is that I am just not sure what I'm doing with my life right now, so the dreams are an attempt to measure what career path I should pick to be happiest. It's just that I'm here now, and I need to..well, carpe diem.
and besides, an infamous popstar tells us "it's not about how fast you get there, aint about what's waiting on the other side, it's the climb."
