The world is going to end. Well, according to the Mayan calendar, and also, predictions from Nostradamus (who basically ripped off the Mayans), the world as we know it will end on December 21, 2012. Guess that means I won’t have to pay back my student loans!

Seriously; if the world were going to end, wouldn’t you rather not know the exact date? How depressing! People should live each day as if it were their last anyway. That’s not to say don’t pay your bills or act irresponsibly, but live life to the fullest, and always tell those you love just how much you love them.

So with the anxiety-prodding movie of global doom about to premier, (2012) I thought it prudent to poll my readers and ask them: “If you knew the world was going to end tomorrow, who would you spend your last day with, why, and also, what would you tell that person?” Here are but a few of their touching replies.

Chris
This is the saddest thing I've ever had to think about, but I would spend it with my daughter, Azilee. I would tell her how much I love her, and that she was the meaning for my existence. I am getting so emotional just thinking about it.

Anita
One person; my husband Jamie. One group of people, my husband and sons. Same conversation either way. Love them with all my heart, and will see them on the other side. Clichéd, I know.

Adam
Hmm.. I would web broadcast myself where all my family and friends can interact/see me for one last time.

Brian Z. 
As uncaring or heartless as it sounds, I wouldn't spend the last day with family. Not that I don't love them, I really do! But I know things would get really emotional, and I'd be totally sappy and I don't want to go out sad. So I would get in a car and just drive; see how far I get. And possibly find someone to have sex with since I'm single.

Célèste
If I could only spend it with one person, it would be my boyfriend, because he is my partner, my all, the man I plan to grow old with. If the world were ending and I knew we wouldn't be able to grow old together, then we would at least have our last day together. If I could see more people, I would of course choose my family.

Robert
I would spend it with a librarian; the source of all knowledge.

Kat
Having experienced what I thought would be my last day, a couple of times; I always try, to "live in the moment". It's not likely most people will be able to choose who that moment might be with, let alone, when that moment will be. So I opt to make right now as good as right now can be, whether I'm alone or with whoever...

Kim
We should all live our lives as if there is no tomorrow as there are no guarantees; except for taxes and death. I saw my mom suffer greatly last year when after years of refusing to go visit her mom (laziness? old resentment?) my grandmother was admitted to ICU after falling and breaking her hip. She had a subsequent stroke, then cardiac arrest, and died a week later. The guilt my mom felt for not visiting her when she was well....

Brian H.  
I would spend the morning waking up with my wife and son in my arms. Forget about work, I'd go fishing in the early afternoon with dad, have coffee with mom, read a story to my grandmother, then go to the park with my son and push him one last time on the swing. I'd drive with my family to the beach in the afternoon, crash into the waves and play in the sand. I'd go to dinner and have a bottle of the best wine, ensure my wife and child were tucked into bed, go back to the beach, park the car, and run as fast as I could down the sand; feel the grains of sand between my toes, the spray of the ocean on my face. I'd run like the wild untamed horse that has tapped the primitive energy within it. Then, I’d succumb to my fate, and plunge myself into the ocean, putting every ounce of energy I had left into swimming against the tide, becoming one with the water, then give into the inevitable and let the ocean carry me to the afterlife knowing that in the end, I spent the day with those I loved. I’d die knowing I had a perfect day, and gave every bit of life I had to pushing myself to my limits.
