1. college - not the be all and end all, but a basic education is necessary2. career - hate that word - it sounds like such a dull cliche (sorry AA)
3. stable home and income - possible for some, not for all
4. marriage - optional
5. children - definitely optional, after careful consideration
6. lots of cool stuff like travel, hobbies, friendships - definitely, if you are fortunate enough to afford/find these things
7. death - maybe
I think there is far more to life than those 7 points personally. Existing on the fringe of this mad world is my course.
Like your poem by the way. I know the feeling well from my own past.
