Enlightenment

It's funny how solutions just strike you out of nowhere. As I sit up in my bed typing this, I can't stop a grin from creeping onto my face. I've found the solution to the problem that has bothered me for months, almost years, now.

When trying to decide what it is I wanted to be when I get out of here, 'here' being college, I've come to the realization that it doesn't really matter. I've been doing myself a huge disservice by constantly worrying about what comes tomorrow. I'm a moderately intelligent twenty years old English major who loves what I study and has some really great family and friends. Tomorrow can wait a day or two. No matter what, things always seem to work out. One way or another, the cards will fall as they may. I'll just keep working hard and playing hard. When the time comes to make a decision, it'll be the right one. I'm starting to realize that there really aren't any wrong decisions. Just the ones that were meant to be made.

The catalyst for this brilliant observation? Why, a song of course! To be specific, it was 'Have a drink on me' from AC/DC's Back in Black album. Let me just show you what I mean with an excerpt from the song:


yeah, so come on have a good time
and get blinded out of your mind.
Forget about tomorrow,
take in today.
Forget about the check,
We'll get hell to pay!
Have a drink on me!!

Indeed. Just make sure it's an Irish brew, or failing that, a good Tennessee bourbon with a black label. I think you know which.
