Oh, beautiful future.

The future is tomorrow, next hour, a year from now, right? 
Why does it seem so far off? 
I feel like I am sitting around waiting for "my turn". 
My dad always tells me that I can't do this, or can't do that, because I am still in college. I am supposed to live according to a budget, and keep my spontaneity in check. 
I'm young. It's "my turn" to have fun. Isn't it?
