What Is The Good Life?

[Lazy Kat]

Hello again, my friends. Yes, I still stalk this little forum from time to time.
Anyway, the purpose of my visit is to propose a discussion thread about an essay topic for the High School Seniors at my school. Generally, it is a 25 page paper and uses literature.
However, I'm not asking you put your life story (i.e. you don't have to do a full paper on this).
Basically, this is to be a collective thread to see what each of us thinks the good life is.
You can quote anything you want, this thread is casual, not formal with strict guidelines. Anyway, I just want to probe your minds, and see how this turns out.

having great friends, who you can be yourself with, having confidence and success with chicks, doing the things you love all the time, being independent, strong, and most importantly having fun!
