Sarah Miller worries that she won’t make the most of her last 24 hours.

 “If I knew I was going to die tomorrow, I would probably pull an all-nighter so I didn’t miss out.” said the senior Liberal Studies major.

But she admits that, in some ways, it would be a relief to know the end is near.

 “All my fears would vanish out the window,” Miller said. “I would do things I was scared to do before. …Why not do it if I am going to die tomorrow?” 

She said that she would spend time doing things she was scared to do.

 before. But Miller said she would make time for her loved ones. 

“Going on little adventures would heal me internally,” she said. “I love to write and draw so I would take all the adventures I’ve created in person if possible.” said Miller. 

For Miller, her last day would include putting herself out there and taking risks she never would have done before – either because she’s a full-time college student and part-time worker. 

“Life is all about risks but when we face them, we cannot overcome them,” said Miller. “Being at the brink of death could bring out a rebellious side of me.” 

But she said that she would also make time for loved ones.

“I’d want to see my family and friends and have a huge dinner with them and yap for as long as they’d let me,” she said. 

“It amazes me how we always wait until the end of the finish line to realize what really matters,” Miller said. “Maybe the reminder we need is to stop waiting because we never know when our life is going to end. So, do the crazy things you always wanted to do and be rebellious.”
