We never realize..

...how valuable life really is...

You will see what this picture has to do with it..
I was talking with one of my friends yesterday and she told me this horrible story about what happened to her on her first day of classes this semester.
She was driving to campus and while sitting at a stop light she sees this girl run full speed into this guy in a wheel chair (don't worry it wasn't House). But my friend is sitting their tramatized having seen this guy get hit by a car.
She told me this and how freaked out she was and it made me realize a couple things. One: people need to learn to get off the damn phone when they are driving, oh, and MAYBE pay attention to pedestrians??? The girl didn't even slam on her breaks...some people...
And another thing, it made me think about how valuable our lives are. We are only here on this earth for such a short amount of time, but I think, especially after hearing this story, that we need to take each day and live it to the fullest. I'm not saying party all the time (as I guarantee a lot of average college students would think), but live it fully. Take every chance you get to say "I love you" and to spend time with people you care about. Take the time for a phone call to a 'long lost friend' and plan as many girl or guy nights as you can. Realize that we should be lucky to live another day!
Sorry for the rather depressing post, but I feel like people need to remember this..
