Having a carefree life doesn't require you to forgo all your responsibilities and live like a free spirit. If you are trying to focus on just having a good time right now, don't make the mistake of clearing your calendar to do it. Having commitments helps you appreciate your downtime all the more, so be sure to keep a healthy balance between work and play. If you have no reason to wake up in the morning, or no place to feel useful, you'll never truly be happy.
