Yale has got within it the secret societies. Harvard with their sectors. And still those once walled Universities which held titles of honor and recognition not or now offering admission with maybe without a standardized test. Monies? Old, of course or if not close to old.. but new? .. Meet the new generations.
Oh, the ivies, the ivies... why let them fall to the ground?
On level ground they remain creeping, not exceeding 5–20 cm height, but on suitable surfaces for climbing, including trees, natural rock outcrops or man-made structures such as quarry rock faces or built masonry and wooden structures, they can climb to at least 30 m above the ground. Ivies have two leaf types, with palmately lobed juvenile leaves on creeping and climbing stems and unlobed cordate adult leaves on fertile flowering stems exposed to full sun, usually high in the crowns of trees or the tops of rock faces, from 2 m or more above ground.

creeping, they may; but not as those that swarm and creep; leaping withal.

So... a wasted life? Possible? I'm not sure. It not wasted, still, as was a passing vapor that was but now is no more; soon or later.
And ah!, I've got it! Sir Sherlock. While having life, enjoy the gifts of God yet keep mindful that you will need to give account.... Yes! I've got it!
This went out with the (J)esus Movement. Taking out the Old, replacing it with a man named (J)esus. And soon to follow, the Ivies.
Re: can a life really be wasted though?
And so, this is what I shall do. I shall take the bill and where it was 100, I shall write 50 and where it was 75, I shall write 40. I shall write for myself my account to be valid and presentable.
You have trespassed me 100 times, now only 50. You have debted me 75 times, now only 40.... I love You more than I need myself.

Trusting family for over 20 years. And then while and during this time, learning to trust others as well. And when family is gone being alone with the others that you spent another 20 years with having trusted each day of the way. So 40 years being built on trust; first half with family, the second half with God and Church and even by self with The Lord. And then when all is gone, family and support, you have only the last ones you lived with trust with. Add another 10 years to these years and you have 50 years lived trying to feel safe trusting the ones you were given in this life. And so when those you trusted seem to test or seem to not meet 'trust' standards, the question of this thread; can a life really be wasted, becomes strangely painful.
The first half is gone having left some wounds. The second half is wounding. And the fear with the second is worse because 'family' is not around to receive support from. When family saw your fear, they tried to reassure. The second. My goodness. How fearful it can become...
Electric and magnetic fields (EMFs)—also referred to as "radiation"—are invisible areas of energy that are produced by electricity. Common sources include power lines, cell phones, and microwaves. In the 1990s, there was concern about a potential link between EMFs and childhood cancers, there hasn't been strong research evidence to back that up.

But, as colloquialism puts it, 'it's all good'.
