Time Is Ticking

I am about to start at college in my city for the fall quarter, and as I sit here typing watching all of the boisterous activity of the college students I am reminded that we only have so many days in our lives to accomplish our goals. Who among us, in our early 20s felt like there was an endless span of days ahead and that there was always plenty of time to do everything you wanted to do in life. Pretty much most of us felt that way when we were really young I'd say. But to say we have an endless amount of time isn't really true as we all discover the older we get. I was reading in the Depaulia, the student newspaper recently about one Depaul alumni, and one Depaul student who were killed while on a trip out west. They were twenty-something kids in the full sunshine of their youth and then it's over. Whatever one's view of the afterlife, their lives, their stories, have reached their conclusions on this earth. And isn't that a lesson to us all? We only have so much time. Not to be preachy, but let's make it count in ways that are meaningful and beneficial to one and all when, where, and how we can.
