save points

Sometimes I dream that my life would be like an RPG (role playing game). If I could see that I was leveling up, I'd probably spend more time reading, studying, or causing squirrels to faint. But I think it'd be cool if there were save points in real life. For those who aren't familiar with RPGs, basically at a save point, you save all your progress so far in a game. If you happen to die anytime after that, you revert back to the last place you've saved. Now let's think about this for a moment...

...sorry I dozed off (and regained all my health!). Imagine what you could do with save points. Let's say you have a test the next day and save before you walk to class. You get all the questions wrong. But that's okay, you saved before the test. Just accidentally fall off a cliff and voila! You end up outside your classroom door and you remember all the questions! You can ace it! (If you forget the questions, you can just repeat the process until you get the grade you want.)

Or how about you're stuck in traffic going to a job interview and you see an alternate route with no traffic that was an exit earlier? Accidentally drive off a cliff and poof! Assuming you saved before you left for the interview, you're back in the car and you can take that earlier exit and be there on time for the interview! (Afraid of how the interview will go? Just save beforehand!)

Or how about saving right before you enter a DTR? It didn't turn out the way you wanted? That's okay, just lose a fight with a tough guy named Cliff and tada! Now you can run away from the conversation while preserving the friendship!

Yes, the save point would be great. Some people may argue that we would lose all our memories that occur after the last time we save, but for the sake of this post, that is not true at all! Readers, what are your thoughts on the save points in real life? (If you didn't like this post, I will probably reset.)

mikey, you should reset your face.

rockey, an undo button would be cool. maybe a redo button in case we realize that the undo button was a mistake.
