What Was Taken Away & What Will Be Taken Away

Last year, from what I've read, it sounds like most of the students realized that you really only get one chance and that you should just go for it rather than regretting that you didn't later. Basically, they took away the true meaning of Carpe Diem, Seize the Day. I can't help but say that that is exactly what I want to take away. Too many times have I regretted things I should have done. I almost always think the next day, "What the heck was I thinking?" So I hope that by the end of this year I'll become more of a risk taker and truly seize the day just as they did. I believe that all I have to do to get the most from this genius project is to try my hardest to do everything on my list and take every chance I get.
