I'm Not Scared Of Death, But I'm Terrified To Die

There is too much to do in such a small amount of time.

I'm Not Scared Of Death, But I'm Terrified To Die
Revolution of the Mind

You may find my heading to be confusing, you may even think I'm insane and that's okay. Many people have the fear of dying. A fear of not knowing what truly happens. Yes, I know there is a theory or "proven" to be a heaven and a hell, but we cannot possibly know this until we are focused upon the reality ourselves. Personally, I am not scared of death. I believe it is what it is going to be and we have no choice over that. But what I am terrified of is what happens when I die.

Although I may not be the most important person to even the common man, I am extraordinarily important to my family and friends. They have a huge impact on my life, as I do on theirs and my death simply won't be an easy thing for some to handle. This is where I have come to become terrified. Not at death itself, but at who has to deal with my death. They unfairness to them, the terrible problems it can possibly cause and worst yet, the pain. It's hard for myself to know that my life ending can cause so much hurt that I cannot comfort or help in any way.

Family and friends are important, but there is more that I fear in the presence of death and ironically, it's doing death-defying events.

I hold a fear of not achieving the true bucket list that I hold. My personal list is not terribly long, but rather terribly expensive. Many things I have come to want to do, or travel to and some include, but are not limited to:

-Skydive

-Backpack all over Europe

-Live in New York City, New York

-Live in LA

-Become fluent in one or more languages

-Take my family on a cruise adventure

-Travel to Australia

-Live in another country

And those are just some of the things I want to achieve in my life.

Another aspect to my life that I am scared to lose is my professional career development and futuristic possibilities. There is a list of accomplishments that I desire to finish before death even turns its head towards me and some of these would include:

-Take my company above and beyond expectations

-Obtain a BBA and MBA in Marketing

-Connect with some of the largest CEO's in the world

-Have continuous companies being developed to serve societies needs

-Change the face of business education

And many other things that I plan to achieve.

In all, I have much to do and many goals to chase and accomplish before anything happens. This is the terrified part of me that speaks, being terrified of the emotional stress on family and friends, being terrified of not living the life I dream and terrified of not achieving my professional life goals. There are many factors that just simply make me unwilling to leave anytime soon.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
