This is a rather personal question, and I can't answer for you, but I can give you my opinion.
When Macbeth says that line, he is referring to the meaninglessness of life. He is saying that life isn't really worth living because it is just a fleeting moment in time, and will eventually end, no matter what you do about it. He tried hard to fight for his ambition and become a king, and he did, but he died nevertheless, thus reaffirming his belief that life is 'signifying nothing' in the end.
Personally, I disagree with his opinions. Yes, life is going to end and we aren't going to live forever, however, we have to make do with what we were given. We aren't supposed just to lie down and wait to die - we should live our life to the fullest and make the most of it while we still can. As the famous aphorism goes, Carpe diem (Seize the day)!

<em>How would you best apply American English in a college setting?</em>
<em>The correct answer is By making sure your writing is always in Standard American English.</em>
- <em>Standard American English or SAE refers to the English language that is generally used in professional communication and in American schools. This English sees a prescriptive use of the language in a college setting; this is for example that the double negative cannot be used. It is very important that college students show linguistic good manners, a use of language attached to the context of readers, situation and purpose. However, the constant change in the language makes us constantly adjust, adapt and check what we have learned.</em>
