Making Memories

I had an epiphany earlier today. I'm working hard, full time student and a twenty hour a week job. I'm setting up a great life for myself. But, I'm not making memories for myself. I don't want my memories of my youth to be constant work! I have no incredible stories! No crazy stuff to tell my kids when I'm older... This makes me sad. I'm wrapped up in a bunch of promises, commitments and due dates. Quite frankly, I want to be done with it. I want to spend my days making memories. But I also want a good life. Even as I type this moments of my life are slipping through my fingers, never to be retrieved. I want to live! But how? I can't bail on what I'm doing, I have a commitment. But what am I going to tell my kids? I went through a hard program and came through a smarter person. What kind of story is that. My dad was wild as a kid, hundreds of fight stories, bad ideas, bad injuries. I kinda want that. Please help me out Mylotters,
Josh

I think you just need a "balance" with all your activities. Work and no play could be really boring. Take some time off to relax and enjoy being with your friends. The clock is ticking forward and not the other way around.

Well it is commandable that you are working hard. I know right now your life seems boring. You don't feel that you will be able to have a good discussion about your life. But a life of always partying and getting drunk can get boring sometimes. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you need a good balance of fun and work. There is nothing boring about working hard.
