There's no reason to make either of these sayings come true. For the first, you can take advantage of your youthful freedom from the pressures of having to earn a living by trying out new things, by "flashing from one end of the world to the other in both mind and body." For the second, if you stay positive, there's little excuse for a wretched adulthood. How can you make decisions to make your youth only the fulfilling prelude to a grand adulthood? The first step is to consider your options carefully. You do have them, you know. Have you always assumed you would go to college after high school or have you ever considered alternatives like the military, a year or two off for travel or work, or vocational training? One of the joys of life in the U.S. is that we aren't tracked by the onset of puberty, but have flexibility: Should we decide later in life we need a college degree for a specific job, that's always an option. | |
