Looking Back to the Vigins... Yes I meant to say Vigins

As I was going through all the poems for tomorrow I realized how much I like Herrick's "To the Virgins". I think that to often we think only of the future and the success we wish to achieve. Even though Carpe Diem is a lot about the successes in our future careers I think we tend to forget the things that are unique to each individual and the family and friends we want to have. I find Carpe Diem is making the most of life the way you want to live it, not what is expected of you or what you've been told is best. What are the things that you truly want to seize?

To the Virgins:

Get Some

... life of course
