**!sidebar!**Almost missed my stop writing this piece, coupled with the fact I’m sitting next to an absolute hottie (8 and a half I’d say)!

As I put a full stop to the last sentence in my final exam,  (by the way till 2day I still wonder how I made it to the final year) it started to dawn on me that I could possibly be embarking on my last ever proper summer holiday! I mean when else in life am I going to have 12 weeks all to myself and have the liberty to chose and do whatever I please? To wake up at 2pm and have breakfast? To spend all day watching the wire? (The show is the greatest thing ever to grace TV, so get to know if you don’t) To play football till the sun goes down? Take random road trips? Spontaneously wake up at 04:00am and decide to take a walk to catch the sunrise? Well, probably never!

So in my moment of profound revelation I decided that I was going to make the next 12 weeks the most epic of my life so far. And people epic they have been indeed!

The past few months have hosted some of the greatest nights of my life, many of them have started in a bar, moved on to a club and ended with me wondering how on earth I made it home! (FlyPrince remember the last night of P-C?). Often time the journey home has been just as entertaining, I just remembered us driving home and mischievously speeding through an ocean like puddle to splash everyone at the bus stop and then turning round to do it again. That was some funny sheet man! But wild nights on the town haven’t been all.

Whilst I know there is still so much more to discover in my beautiful city, the past few months have allowed me to find some of the most extraordinary places in this metropolis. If I ever decide to settle down one day and commit to the journey of marriage, I have found the place where I will propose to my wife. I would never have thought such a spot would exist on my doorstep, the place is actually beautiful. She will be smitten!

I’ve also met some of the dopest people. Yesterday I met the guy who is going to do the song for next year’s football World Cup and played table tennis with him and his children for like 5 hours. He gave my friends and me one of the most inspirational talks ever (Thank you Mr Dee, you’re a funny guy!).

Aside from this I’ve had the time to think more, which has been good although I don’t believe in thinking too much! I’ve also been doing a lot more reading, two days ago I started reading Machiavelli’s – The Prince, a great book so far! My traffic of women has also increased, will say no more! And of course I’ve had hours upon hours to just be a bum. Most times I’m going to bed as my brothers are getting ready for work in the morning! The amount of films and TV shows I’ve watched in the past few weeks is ridiculous (by the way if you haven’t seen Layer Cake, get that on DVD ASAP). Plus the amount of music I’ve downloaded is colossal, I’ve got a classic library of tunes now and a playlist for most moods (I’ve even got an ‘on the way to the club’ playlist).

It truly has been a grand few weeks. The funny thing is as a graduate many people around me have been expecting me to secure a job and make ’solid plans’ for the future but truth is I’ve done none of that shit. At the end of the day I’ve got the rest of my life to work, don’t I? So why not spend a few months creating moments I’ll remember for the rest of my life! I swear I’m gonna slap the next person that asks me ‘what are your plans?’. All I’ve got are ideas no phucking plans mate. And if I can get my money up I’m gonna be off traveling for a year. I’m young, energised and handsome so the world needs to feel my force.

However in all seriousness I wrote this to highlight the power of choice. My great experience all started with me making a choice that I would create my bliss. I’ve come to the conclusion that life is too short to live in mediocrity or to live averagely. We need to choose the mindset that is more focused on finding the value from life because this is where true satisfaction comes from.

We all have a choice now to embark on a journey that will create fond memories. When you look back at your life will it be epic? The fact is in 20 years time we are more likely to regret the things we didn’t do, than the things we did.

Remember life isn’t measured by the number of breaths you take but by the moments that take your breath away.

So don’t just exist, live.

Supernova.
