It's just a connection... "what ifs" can't be absolute

but that's not the point.

The real point is that we often think: "horrific tradgedies happen to other people, not me or my family". When in fact, the reality is that we are all mortal, and all just as likely to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. There were a lot of people that were late to work, had a doctor's appointment, or called in sick on September 11, and are alive because of it. We've all had "close calls" while we were driving on the interstate.

You can take these experiences as a reminder that you are not invincible, that any day may be your last, and you don't have any control over it sometimes.

That being said, I would like to point out that many college students are putting off the beliefs they were raised under until they've had all their "fun". It might help to remember that later doesn't always arrive.

Good point and amem to that. I can tell you personally of some experiences when I was a student that could have been different. You are quite right that sometimes tomorrow never arrives and when you're young you never think it could happen to you.
