I am one of those "college kids", I have clocked up a mere 20 years on this Earth. However, I am of a worrying disposition and I am already concerned about getting old. The prospect of turning 30 doesn't bother me, or 40 or 50 for that matter - but it's when you get REALLY old and the body starts packing up that worries me. My grandparents go to the hospital like everyone else goes to their job, they have that many appointments. And spending most of your days in hospitals or care homes is only one slight increment better than death itself.
So, the plan is to live fast and die young. That is if I'm not a Highlander. I've always suspected I might be, and Sean Connery has been hanging around my house a lot lately.
