"Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

I really enjoyed the movie, Tuesdays with Morrie. The things Morrie said and the advice he gave Mitch really made me think about my own life and the way I live. I think that in the movie, Mitch represents American culture and its fast-paced ways and how it can really make one's life fly by. Morrie was there to try and help Mitch slow down and appreciate every moment of life. This is something I already try to do when I think about it, probably due to my religious upbringing. However, it's not as easy as it sounds. I've grown up in this fast-paced world my entire life and am therefore programed to just go. Get up in the morning, go to school, get home, do homework, go to bed, and it starts all over again the next day. It's very easy to get caught up in. But Mitch's situation, with his girlfriend getting tired of waiting for him, is enough of a lesson for most to learn from because no one wants that to happen to them. Sometimes it's difficult enough for me to believe that my next birthday will be my 18th and that I've already applied to colleges and will be on my own in just a short year. Most of the time I still feel like a little child, who still needs her parents. The Ferris Bueller quote in my title is very true. I think that after listening to Morrie, I will try even harder to stop once in a while and just appreciate what a wonderful life I have and those in it instead of just zooming through it.
