Quick! Get me a Flux Compacitor!

We're going back to the future! Now, I'm no grammar cop, but isn't there something wrong there?
The unknown terrifies me, all the way to my naaive heart. Of course, as one can ASSume, the future is obviously part of that unknown mass. With everything I've been told about adulthood, I'd like to die before turning eighteen! Money, Taxes, Mortgage, Career, and Childreen. Yes, they're in caps because they are THAT terrifying. The biggest one for me would be Career, which goes hand-in-hand with Education.
Ever since I was a little kid, mummy and daddy have always stressed school. That was my key, to get through school with a 4.0 GPA and recommendations from the world's best Ivy League colleges. I was the... intelligent one out of the four of their children, the one who would pay to take care of them when they couldn't. But, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't have it any other way. Yet, because of that, I've been formed into this anxious over-achiever. It's enough to make oneself gag, right?
I guess what I was trying to get at is the level of how much the future scares me. I mean, there's so many possibilites, and I have so many different paths I want to take. To be a marine biologist and travel the world with fish, or be a chef in New York City and live in an apartment with my boyfriend, or be a scientist and find the cure for cancer, or to be a member of Green Peace and free the whales. Ehh, not quite the last one, but mummy's always said I should.
All these possibilites, so many paths, and so many decisions. Somedays I want to follow one path, and other days I want to say "Ya know what? Screw the paths!" and run around in circles, screaming nonsense.
So... even though the world is just beginning to wake up, I can hear the birds already, I'm retiring for the night, and I'm doing so with thoughts of flux compacitors and time machines. It would be easy to have one. If you decide you don't like the outcome of your life, simply go back to the day you decided upon it, and BAM!, now you've taken an entirely different life. Ahh, the wonders of fantasy and science ficiton :)
