<p>When are you going to ‘‘live life’’? SIGH, college, graduate school, yeah, Live life? pshhh… Seems like years of study is left for me. Years…</p>
<p>Why does it have to be one or the other? There will always be work, but you’ve only got one life. Live it well.</p>
<p>You live it well romanigypsyeyes.</p>
<p>Retirement. That’s where my life’s heading.</p>
<p>Work insanely hard in high school to get into a good college–>work insanely hard in college to get a good resume–>work insanely hard on my first job to get into business school–>work insanely hard at business school to get a good IB job–>work insanely hard at my job to get promoted as high as humanly possible–> work insanely hard at the top to go even higher–>retire, relax, enjoy life.</p>
<p>Jesus…‘‘work insanely hard’’…</p>
<p>Haha, I like how people have to wait til they’re 80 to enjoy life.</p>
<p>I feel the same way…But I really am enjoying life now, it’s just going to be a lot of hard work to get where I want to be.</p>
<p>I totally agree with the retirement angle. seriously, the place where I volunteer-all they eat are gourmet meals (actually taste good, at least if you’re not diabetic) and read/watch tv ALL DAY.</p>
<p>Enjoy your high school and college years while you can. Everything after that seems pretty bleak. Until retirement, of course.</p>
<p>I’m sorry but I have to know. Are all of your parents workaholics? My parents always taught me to enjoy everything as it comes, even if it means sacrificing some success. Success is nice, but is it worth it at the cost of not living life to the fullest? What’s the point of being successful and rich if you can’t enjoy it?</p>
<p>Good Lord, I’ve never met so many people that need an instruction manual for how to have a life. [line borrowed and edited from American Pie]</p>
<p>I’ve been partyin a lot lately. I’m kinda tired and not caring about school. Everything always works out though. I’m highly looking forward to going to the shore this summer and getting a house for a week with my friends. That’ll be some good times.</p>
<p>If you spend all your life “working insanely hard” for retirement, you have wasted your life, and probably won’t even enjoy retirement.</p>
<p>I’m enjoying life now, and I plan on enjoying life for my entire life (what’s the point in living if you aren’t enjoying yourself and having a good time?).</p>
<p>enjoy it now. ur young only once so y wait until ur 70 or 80 to actually live. by that time ull be unable to move and just be on ur butt everyday doing nothing.</p>
<p>my mom is a workaholic but she tries to relax and enjoy herself from time to time. seriously, LIVE LIFE! its precious. dont waste always working hard. enjoy what the world has to offer.</p>
<p>maybe this was the wrong place to bring up this topic no?
i mean cmon its CC lol</p>
<p>define ‘enjoying life’
If it means hard-core studying and intense playing…
…lazing on the counch doing nothing…
…watching movies and hanging out with buddies Only…
moving on to an even broader question: What’s life all about? Living the seconds through or Leaving behind a mark before you exhaust those finite seconds of life?</p>
<p>Why can’t one do both?</p>
<p>i keep telling myself that i’ll start living life when i’m in college…no time for fun now :(</p>
<p>Hmm though my sophomore year is pretty crazy and often times insanely hard, I still find it enjoying in many cases. I know some people would hate my life but I don’t think that it’s all that bad. Rather than studying 100% of the time, I also excercise, have study groups with my friends, and I go to my local university to do work. Life isn’t that bad. It’s true there isn’t much time for relaxing, but I like to have a full plate. It makes life more interesting. Maybe it sounds nerdish but education related activities can be fun too. If you don’t think so, then surely you have time once in awhile to go to a party, the beach, or a movie? It all goes back to time management. I see so many that over procrastinate and therefore have no time for other activities.</p>
<p>time management? for me its a language of a different planet.
Juggling 4 tests per day, responsibilities that come with being head of student government, SAT (how cud i forget), tutoring class mates at school, work at a tech company (thrice a week) and keeping up with freinds … I am still learning to manage time. Don’t forget those tiring dance practises we have been doing for a performance.
I miss reading and piano (the essence of life). 
–> 
a lot of work … but i enjoy it all so i can’t give’em up.</p>
