My outlook on my future is as follows. You cant live in what you've done but what your willing and wanting to do. I know that my education is what my future rides on, if that means less time with friends, more time at home doing work then so be it. What you have to think about, is what you think right now is your ultimate goal in life, and what it may take to achieve something of that matter, don't let anything get in the middle of your path, and if something does, you have to find a way to get around it. Live life with no guarantees because when you have a guarantee there are no surprises and there is no enjoyment.
