Plans for the nonexistent future

So, right now I am in North Carolina with my mother. Seeing as this is a trip centered in a college interview and my mother and I have little else to talk about, the majority of our conversation has been spent planning for the future. We have discussed where I want to go to school, what type of person I want to room with, where I want to live, everything. Being stressed with the nearness of plans that always seemed so distant, my response to my mothers never ending questions has been "it doesn't matter, mom, the world is going to end in four days." And so, eager for order, she begged me to walk her threw how I will spend my last day on earth if it does come this Friday. So here it is, world. My plans for Friday, December 21:

I will wake up early and make myself chocolate chip pancakes. I will play guitar for an hour, piano for an hour, and finish any uncompleted homework. I will watch the rest of Pride and Prejudice and cheat on my Advent Calendar to see if I won the Danish Lottery. I will pull out my bucket list, regret every day that I wasted on things not on that list, and tuck it in my pocket. Around 10 am, I will get on my bike. I will find the people I love and tell them I love them. I will find the people I wronged and tell them I am sorry. I will find the people I wish I knew better and tell them exactly that. I will then locate the burning pit that will have emerged in the ground and jump in before I can watch any of the previous listed people suffer.

And that will be that.
