    Someone posted a YOLO (you only live once) thread where you post 10 things you want to do before you die. I'm curious to see some more short term ideas. So what 10 things do you want to do/accomplish before you are 30?

    - Figure out a job I would at least not dread going to every day, then pick that major and hope things go well from there.

    - Take care of myself better in many respects.

    - Actually have a date with a guy. I have 12 years... idk if it will happen. XD

    - Move away from the state I currently live in. I'm so tired of this place. I'll miss some people here, but I think I would be better off somewhere else.

    - Hear 2NE1's U.S. album when they debut. You better not screw this up, Will. I. Am. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:


    Yeah, my stuff isn't very hopeful and dreamy. Sorry :V

    I guess I'm stuk with either "reverse the aging process" or "build a tume machine".

    I'm a little saddened how often I see "YOLO" is taken to mean "live irresponsibly" - usually involving getting amazingly drunk and blacking out. Not here on EC, mind you, but in real life.

    Damn, I'd love to get a reversal aging process machine ALREADY! I want to be perpetually 19, lol. One sign of aging that has transpired since then is my inability to pull all-nighters cramming for stuff... Another is a weaker liver. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Oh I know. It's something I have never understood. It's like "man, I really wanna experience life; so I am gonna poison myself so fucking hard that I pass out." I got to witness this kind of behavior my first year in college actually, because I was in Canada, and the drinking age is 19 there. So long about spring time, many people were turning 19, and dear god... I think people drunk enough to dissolve patches of spacetime.

    I guess I'd kind of like it to be elliptical. I could handle being 19-28 just all the time, lol...

    Drinking age was 21 at my college. Didn't stop anyone. Well, except one woman who was hospitalzed for a couple weeks. But other than her, nobody.

    I'm so happy I'm not in that age group anymore. Seriously. The last twelve years or so have been the best of my life - no question.
