Carpe diem

Carpe diem means "seize the day" in Latin. It's like when you see a really big ice cream cone and you know it's going to melt, so you eat it right away instead of waiting. When we say carpe diem, we mean we should do the things we want to do now, because we don't know what will happen in the future. It's like when you're playing with your favorite toy and your mom says you have to go to bed soon, so you play with your toy as much as possible before you have to put it away. So, carpe diem means that we should enjoy and make the most of each day we have.
