I'm gonna be so mad if I die before seeing a supernova.

You should be mad now and let up only after you see the supernova. Once you're dead, its too late to be mad.

They happen pretty frequently and are generally observable with decent telescopes, far away they appear similar to a new star for a short period

You are a bit late to that, because the last one was 1987.

Edit: was meant as a comment to the other comment, my bad.
