I know exactly what you mean. At this point in my life I am in a place where I feel trapped and its like i have to go through all four years just to get something that probably wont matter much anyway. I do nothing of value every day and am helpless about it. I guess you could say I could do something but I just dont want to. But things are hard, harder than i ever imagined. I dont have a quote about wasting time but instead I wanna share something else with you. Theodore Roosevelt-Do what you can, with what you have, with where you are.

mY GOD yOU'RE RIGHT....

well it is rather a long quote, but...

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then the one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
And shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation in the English way
The time is gone the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be there when I can
When I come in cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

I don't really wast my time. The thing is it takes time to get what I want. I am a bit worried about it. Never mind.

Love is what you make of it.
