Time to spend, time to waste, time to make haste?

"Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. But today is a gift. That's why it's called 'present'"

Says that turtle dude from Kung Fu Panda. It's a pretty interesting quote, but it ultimately boils down to that old maxim, "Make the most out of your time."
I guess the way you see it, life is a slot machine. Say you have a test, and your pumped because you finally studied and you're confident you can finally do well and-
And then you get in a car accident and get hospitalized.
Or let's say you're gonna ask out that really cute girl/guy and you don't really know if you can do it and you think she/he will say no and oh my god why am I doing this and-
She says yes. Happy ever for now for you.

Can anyone really predict what life is going to throw at you? Probably not. There's always a random bit of random that can make your life anywhere from somewhat different to oh god its an apocalypse.
Many people hold regrets of the past in their hearts. Many more worry about the future. I say don't worry about it. Just sit back and relax in the now. Back then isn't exactly going to punch you in the face any time soon. Tomorrow, on the other hand, might and you just aren't expecting it.
