Many of the survivng students from that tragic day are still living the horror.

With the recent plane crash of the president of Poland, the frequent, almost commonplace, earthquakes and the many airplane delays because of ash cloud filled skies keeping people away from their families and jobs.

Tragedy seems to be happening more and more everyday.

Currently, most students probably feel as if they are dying from the amount of work they have to accomplish in the short amount of time they have before the end of finals week.

Realistically, one won’t die from the amount of work that they have to do, even though it may seem to them that they will.

Take a moment to put things into perspective. Don’t forget who you are or lose yourself in your massive amount of work.

While finishing your projects and papers for the remaider of this semester, keep in mind what is important in your life.Think about that, if you will.

That day that you went to the library intending to study, but rather spent the entire time on Facebook, fanning pages could be your last.

No one wants the last moment that they spend alive to be on Facebook.

It may sound cliche, but live as if it may be your last day to live.
