Lol, I had a quite similar experience with a 19-year old. I'm convinced that adolescents at that age are ambition machines. They'll eventually realize the error of their over-reaching soon enough. And I guess the big dumb life is just living. Simply not thinking too hard. It's kinda nice, but kind of unfulfilling. I think the 19-year old in me hasn't quite died yet... but soon, heh.
