Personally, I believe I wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary. I wouldn't want people to treat me differently, or give me special privileges. I'd continue to go to school, do my homework, and enjoy the time I have with my family and friends. I think I'd spend more time playing fetch with my dogs, and I'd probably invite my best friend to come visit. I'd want to see her one last time before I die. I'd write letters, do my Christmas and birthday shopping early, and most of all, continue life as I normally would. Yes, some things would change, but that doesn't mean I'll stop playing DnD with my friends on Wednesdays, or I'll stop walking/jogging with my dogs every night, or that I'll stop being me. All the actions I do, all the decisions I make, are a part of me and if I only have one week left to live, I'm not ever going to stop being myself. There is nothing more important to me than the true value of one being their self.
So, if you only have one week left to live, or even if you think you're going to live for years and years after this, take the time to evaluate if you're really being yourself. There's nothing more valuable than being yourself and trust me when I say, because if you live your life being somebody else or somebody you're not, when you reach the end of your life, you're going to regret it. Don't let anyone else tell you to be somebody you're not. Be you. As Mr. Rodgers would say in his childrens show, "I like you just the way you are."
