I want to be Forever Young

In his new album, The Blueprint 3, rap icon Jay Z frames the desire to preserve adolescence in his song "Young Forever." This song really hits home for me because, as a freshmen in college, I constantly feel as though my life is getting serious and I need to buckle down and get to work. Thanks to the shuffle tool on my Itunes, however, I was exposed to Jay Z's timeless message.

"Fear not when, fear not why,
fear not much while we're alive
life is for living, not living up tight
see ya somewhere, up in the sky"

In life we have to enjoy the moments. Man is a product of his experiences, and we must cherish the time we have on this earth. Yes, it may seem like I'm getting way to philosophical, but for some reason music always has the ability to drown out the worries of life and put everything into perspective. So today, as I lay in bed and rock out to Jay Z, I hope you realize that "there is no tomorrow, just a picture perfect day." Stop worrying about how difficult an exam will be. Don't worry about what career the path of life will take you to. Just enjoy the day. Work hard, and love life.
