That's the point. I don't want my consciousness to end.

College. I'll have to have a 4.0 to even have a chance of getting into pharmacy school. That's IF I can scrounge enough money and scholarships to pay without taking out huge loans.

Also, taxes. I pay 25% of my income in taxes, and this is a minimum-wage, part-time job. (I know that's probably not a lot for you Europeans and Aussies, but it still bugs me.) That is money that I'm never going to see again. If the health care bill gets passed, taxes aren't going to go anywhere but up.

More common fears: I'm scared of heights. I get a little dizzy and my heart starts racing. It's to the point where I can't stand near a railing that's lower than chest level without freaking out. Venomous snakes and spiders. Extreme pain. Armed gunmen.

Death itself doesn't really scare me as much as it used to, me being Christian and all. It's very comforting to truly believe that death isn't the end.

[Also, to OP: Change the thread title to "Things that make you SCARED today."]

But what if it dosen't?

What if you somehow constantly survive though everything. Only to find out that you are immortal, but by then it is too late! The whole world is gone and you are the last one left standing.

And all that there is left to do is wonder why you were the one who dosen't die for the rest of eternity!

I'd probably go crazy. Then I wouldn't care!

Heights, spiders (but not so much anymore), falling, needles (which didn't start until I stepped on one of my mom's sewing needles in junior high, she thought it was very funny.  Although I did step on one sorta recently and removed it without panicing like the first time), and fear that all my friends secretly hate me.

And since we're on the subject, never do a Google image search on geoducks.  You will be scarred for life.  Yet most people who read this will search it anyway  :D
