Make Much of Time

Robert Herrick was a cavalier poet who wrote To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time, with the main theme being carpe diem, or seize the day.  "Use your time; and while ye may, go marry" are lines from this poem meaning that you should take advantage of opportunites while you can, or they will be gone.  While at the fair, I went on a majority of the rides, but refused to go on the zipper.  Then a couple of my friends were going on it just after my boyfriend and his friend went on it, and so I gathered my courage, telling myself I wouldn't get another chance to go on the ride for probably another year or two, and I went on it the next time around with my boyfriend and then two of my girl friends in another cage.  I screamed for the majority of the ride and may have cried a little bit the few times I actually opened my eyes, but, afterwards, even though I will probably never go on that ride again, I was glad I summed up enough nerve to seize the opportunity of going on the zipper with mny friends....YOLO as some would say!
