You remember that movie "21"? The one where the guy (Ben Campbell) goes to MIT and then gets a chance to play Blackjack in Vegas with a team? K, I'll give a quick gist of the movie.
In the beginning when Ben was being interviewed for the full admittance scholarship, and the dean (I guess it was the dean) told him that he had to REALLY shine above all the others.
Then he joins the underground Blackjack team and experiences a new life. Even with this new "life", he was still burdened by his emotions and partially by greed. Then he gets in trouble with the casino head security guy. Took quite a beatdown.
In the end, he lives through all the shit that he went through and came out with not as much as he thought he'd make. The camera then goes to the dean of admissions again, and Ben is telling him about his whole life experience at MIT.
The life he had at MIT, and the life he had in Vegas. Both were fueled by crazy experiences, involving emotions and danger. Basically, in his interview Ben told the dean how he had everything, lost it all, gained it back, and lost it again.
Ben: "How's THAT for a life experience?"
Dean's jaw drops.
Seems like I'm rambling, but this is pretty much how I felt for the past few weeks. Crazy life experience fueled by emotions and dangerous situations, having others worry for me. But now I actually have an interesting story about my life to tell now, if the moment ever arises.
Summary: Life is all about experiences and memories. Do something unforgettable (and if possible, unregrettable) and don't look back on it. You'll feel like your life is so much more meaningful after you've experienced something really crazy, like I have.
