this is not a game

"you don't get another chance, life is no nintendo game"

so many times, i take things for granted or don't think about what i'm doing. since coming to college, i've really started to try and live to the fullest, having fun. but at the same time, i don't think enough about the consequences. lately i've been listening to the song 'love the way you lie' by eminem and rihanna. i know it's about abuse and stuff but i really really liked this line, i think it applies to everyone. life isn't something that i can just pause and start again. after this weekend, i'm definitely going to live my life thinking about the consequences. next week i start my new job at the king county prosecuting attorney's office. this is like my dream job for right now so i can't mess this up. i have to stop living my life recklessly, doing things without thinking it through, just for a night of fun or something. at the same time, i say this all the time. this time, this has to be for real. i'm not a kid anymore. i have to be responsible.
