If I Had All The Time In the World This Is What I Would Do

What would you do if you had all the time in the world?

Fancy watch

As a college student, I find myself becoming more and more caught up in my education and day-to-day routine. I spend more time planning for my future career than I do talking to peers. Of course, there's nothing wrong with being ambitious and focusing on school, but there is a point when it becomes detrimental.

At the end of their life, a vast majority of people end up regretting the fact that they put work or education over their family and friends.

When so much is riding on your education, it's hard to take a step back and look at your life. How much of it are you wasting? How many chances are you giving up to stay in your room and study? I've caught myself countless times turning down outings with friends to stay home studying, only to regret it and feel lonely afterward.

If I more time, I would go on that date, have lunch with my friends, stay behind to get to know a professor, learn new skills, travel the world. But I do have time to do all these things, and if I keep taking the time to just think about wanting these things, I'll lose the time I'd have to actually do them.

If I had all the time in the world, I would spend it doing and enjoying the little things, because, in the end, those are things that will bring me joy.

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
