You know? When asked the meaning of life, a lot of people jump immediately to say "I dont know" or something like a joke. People dodge the question, and it seems a lot of people havent really thought about it. Possibly subconsciously they have, but not that they would just answer off the top of their heads. My brother, obviously joking at first, Im sure has thought about it before. Everyone has at one point, but the truth is, no one really knows. I was happy Manny had concluded with the saying "its different for everyone." It really is!
A lot of people like to think that the meaning of life has a lot to do with happiness, or something as silly as that. People like my brother, who are overly pessimistic about life in general have a better idea of what they think it is. But does that mean that they feel better than those who dont know? Is it better to stay kept in the dark, should you question?, or should you just not care?
Jennifer is a very happy self satisfying person who ALSO loves to bring everyone else into her fun. She enjoys life, its pretty obvious, and because she knows not so much off the top of her head, but still has an idea really says something.

Interviews
Jennifer:
I asked her what she thought the meaning of life was because I was in a class where I was learning the MOL, and she was like, that is so awesome and I really wish I had that in HS.
So, what she did, was she walked to the table, grabbed a pad and pen and jotted down ideas. she soon found that she had so much that she just needed to talk, so I typed up as much as I could get.
She constantly mentioned the idea of "Experiencing all you can" or even seeking experiences and discovering their outcomes. She was very interested in the Adventure topic. Shes a wild one who likes to do a lot of different things. She makes sure that her life has something going on in it. She is usually pretty busy and excited with partying. At the end of the day, you can only look back on memories and experiences, you must "roll with the punches" and enjoy it as much as you can. She then goes on to say life is "whatever makes you fucking happy."
Embracing your surroundings is important to her and sucking all you can out of life is a necessity. She likes to learn all that she can and believes the more you do, the more you want to do. It sounds like Jen really thought about it and continues to add more information to her opinion.
Manny
Manny first started off, without a second of thought, with 'true happiness' and he made sure I wrote down to have a feeling of content with oneself. He likes to be happy and enjoy life to the full extent."Be happy with self and decisions."
Then after he thought about it, he came to another decision, that "life is different for everyone."
That is indeed up for discussion, which makes an obvious point. Life is different for anyone!
Montana
He starts off with "Beats me!" and then I look at him and he said to procreate and advance the human species. Living the way we're "supposed" to. He has a very pessimistic way of looking at it. He doesnt like to think that we have no control and no say towards who we are.
