Abstract	In this article, the author discusses how today's student generation has a spectacular hunger for life and more life. They want to study, travel, make friends, make more friends, read everything (superfast), take in all the movies, listen to every hot band, keep up with everyone they've ever known. They live to multiply possibilities. The author argues how this hunger for life has a number of consequences, for now and for the future. These students do not realize that they might crash on their own with the fast life they are taking. To live well, people must sometimes stop and think, and then try to remake the work in progress that they currently are. The author contends that there's no better place for that than a college classroom where, together, students can slow it down and live deliberately, if only for a while. (ERIC).
