Is the glass half empty? Or is it half full?

One afternoon whilst watching trashy TV and doing nothing, I realised, I have so many ambitions but no motivation to do anything about them.  I sit here and days pass, everything I do fits to the student stereotype.  I go in, I come home, I do a minimal amount of coursework and after a shockingly small paragraph, I reward myself with food.  Then the rest of the day will be spent either a. moping about or b. going out and getting drunk.

Is this really what life is about?  Well, perhaps it is for a 19 year old single girl who still dreams of travelling the big cities and finding love.  All I know is that life can take us on roller-coasters and life can't be taken for granted.  Therefore, I am voiding myself of pessimism from here onward... for the foreseeable future, I hope.

A pessimist sees the glass as half empty but what if the glass is merely there, waiting for it's destiny.  Waiting for someone to determine whether it is half full or half empty.  On the off chance, could this glass's existence be to help people determine their inner happiness and we have so easily over looked this by seeing it as an every day inanimate and general household object.
