Make peace with foes, probably stay in school I guess (might as well be educated as much as I can... who knows maybe I'll write a great last paper!), try to do the things I've always dreamed about, try to stay happy and strong, enjoy every moment.
That is a lot easier said than done though... I am sure the emotional toil one goes through can be really depressing and make life seem not worth living.
Hell, one of my best friends was diagnosed with MS last year and at first she kinda took it out on herself, trying to 'live it up' and all, but now she's really in pain.
I'd assume that factors in a lot...
24 hours to live: Hour 1. Wake up and get dressed. Hour 2. Fix my brothers and Dad a nice morning breakfast. Hours 3-4. Chill downstairs with the family. Hours 4-8. Watch FLCL and the Frieza saga one last time. Hours 8-10. Call my best friend and smoke with him one last time. Hours 10-12. Call or meet with girls I have fell in love with over the past couple of years and tell them how I've felt about them. Hours 12-15 are open to anything, be it I'd have sex with one of the said girls or I just fap to all my hentai. Hours 15-20. Build a wooden boat, take it out to the Mississippi, and lay it on the side of the river. Hours 20-23. Bid farewell to all my friends. Hour 24. Apologize to my father for not being the greatest of sons, say goodbye to my younger brothers and my two best friends in the world, then instruct them to place my body on the boat after I die, set it on fire, and cast it out into the river, where my ashes will be spread into the currents, and out to sea.
Damn, this was hard to write without getting choked up...
I'd try to get to Mt. Everest in record time and try to climb as fast as I can up the mountain. Should I fall, my body will be forever immortalized on the summits of Everest.
And hey, if I do make it to the top, I will plant a flag that says "FUCK YOU, DEATH, I CLIMBED EVEREST". And that is where my body will be, lifeless hands still holding onto the pole.
Well, I suppose the "fastest" way to the top will be to crashland a strateospheric jet on there. But I don't have problems with that.
But in all seriousness, I'd probably go to the ocean or something and stare at the sun until I die. Nothing really much to cherish on this planet for me except the planet itself.
If I knew today was my last day, I would try to make up with the only girlfriend I ever had. Ever since she broke up with me and I thought we were on good terms, she never spoke to me since. It's been 4 years since then, and this thought always races into my mind one way or another. I feel like I have done something horribly wrong to her, even though she was the one who dumped me. I just want to talk to her as if we were just friends when we first met in high school. I want to have closure.
I would also like to just talk to my family once more before my departure. Even though we fight, it doesn't mean I dislike them. I love them to death, and I would do anything for them, even for the cost of my own life.
My grandmother has given six months to live this past Summer. Unfortunately, she was already bed-ridden from weakness. I'd have to say, I would live my final day the way I would live any other, only with more love and hugs. I always told myself, I would want to spend my last day as if it was any other day. Just so I could know I died living every day to reach my goal.
I would finally speak my mind, and tell everyone i know what they really need to hear that everyone is too busy trying not to offend to say. And i would accept death, knowing that i will live on in hearts and minds for the good i have done
I'd probably lament the end of Fakku. Then I'd be nice to everyone that came on by. Personally, I don't mind the thought of death much, its something that will come no matter what, and its only a matter of when.
Well for the most part, I'd say my goodbyes to those close to me. Though I would not want to go down without fighting.
I would travel to the nearest mall set up a soapbox and stand on top of it, make a big speech about politics or religion (maybe just religion) that would be in the news or something of different value on the latter.
As soon as my time was coming to an end I'd say with my dying breath "IF NONE OF THIS IS TRUE, MAY GOD STRIKE ME DOWN RIGHT NOW!" And that's how I'd go out. That's the way Mom and George Carlin would have wanted it.
I would probably put all my time into setting up a Animal rescue department somewhere in Africa, A place where Animal's don't just receive shelter and treatment but where the locals learn how to care for animals, sort of an education.
I'm not vegitarian and I'm not a hippy or some complete animal activist but it breaks my heart to see how animals get treated in countries where they just don't know better (not that I'm one to say that living in a country where thousands of animals get slaughtered for fatty cheeseburgers).
I'd have so many regrets that I hadn't lived life to the fullest.
I don't want to die without telling how I feel about this guy but I probably wouldn't even have the guts to do so... Even though it's sort of pathetic that I'd die at 18 without my first kiss, I'd be okay with it.
I would spend every moment trying to be with my friends and family.
If i have a month or more than a month to live, i would live it to fade away to people i love and cherish. I hate to see them cry in front of me nor make them sad. I would ask a person to cremate me and throw my ashes in top of a mountain or bury me without a coffin so the earth could use my body as a fertilizer and ask that same person to plant a tree to were was i buried.
If i have a few weeks to live I would do whatever it takes for my love ones to smile in front of my deathbed not cry, because by that time they would know that I was contented with the way I live
If i have a day to live, I will write a letter to everyone telling them that I am OK the way things are and they should not worry about me dying for eventually i will die
I would probably drive to the next town, pick up a particular someone, and then just sit and talk with her for the rest of the day. I've tried particularly hard to live a life without burning bridges and for the most part it's held up. Maybe only 2 people I need to apologize to, but in the end it wouldn't matter. Maybe it's selfish of me to simply sit with this girl for the day instead of doing anything with anyone else like family or such. Perhaps 9/10 of the day with her and then for my final 2 hours be with my family, then go somewhere noone would have to experience my actual death in person.
I'll probably steal a chopper from the nearest airbase and together with an accomplice, I'll destroy my fucking school, then kill all the bastards that destroyed my life.
