One Day Too Late

40
Live Life to the Fullest
Ajay Joseph

Imagine you have $84,600 in a bank account every morning. It carries no balance day to day and you can’t make any deposits, only withdrawals. At night, the bank deletes whatever portion you didn’t spend and you can never get that money back. Essentially that’s money wasted. And wasting money is not wise. So what do you do? Draw out every cent of course.

See each of us has a bank. The bank is called time. Every morning it’s filled with 84,600 seconds for you to use. If you fail to use the daily deposits, the loss is yours. Like I said earlier, you can’t carry over money – time – you didn’t use the next day. You must live in the deposits of the present. Use it and invest in happiness, health, joy, and success. The clock is ticking. Make the most of today.

I really like the phrase "one day too late" because tomorrow isn't a guarantee. The next second, even the next breath you take isn't a guarantee. We only have the moment we're in. I think there is more to life than just holding grudges against other people. Sometimes people hold grudges for years and when something thatcomplicated is stored inside someone for so long? It can make you sick.

We're alive. Now. Don't take your time to make the most of it. I know the phrase "make the most of every moment" is cliche and cheesy, but I do think it holds a lot of truth to it. Even something as mundane as doing homework is a blessing because there are people all over the world who want an education.


The time is now to be happy and live life to the fullest. Because tomorrow could be one day too late.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
