Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
Graduating, going to Europe and marrying Christian Slater are gathered into one account of what the speaker wants from life. The final mention of dying stretches the list into a whole imagined future. All I want frames that elaborate wish as a simple request, creating the contrast.
