How Do You Start a New Life?

I don’t feel like I’ve lived.  I feel like thus far, most of my life, I have existed.  Existed slogging away behind text books, studying so hard to pass exams that are going to dictate the rest of my life.  So when does the living start? I’m enough.  It starts tonight, after this exam.  But how do you start living?  What am I going to do differently?  I still have work that needs to be done, so do I just manage my time so that I make sure when I’m not working I’m living?  Or do I finally put work aside for fun?  But I can’t do that, not when my parents are working so hard to keep me here.

So how does one start a new life?  Well I don’t know, but I’m eager to find out.
