| Most of you around here are teenagers, or just barely into adulthood. So what's next? You get out of school, maybe go to college, get a job, get married, have a few kids, watch them grow up, and then you die. That's what it amounts to, if you want not to get poetic about it. Is that how you want to live? If so, why, and if not, what else can you do? How do you want to live? I'm not asking how you expect to live, or how you're going to manage, but if you could live however you want...how? Why?
I'll relate my own story a bit later, if anyone's interested. |

| I think I mentally ask myself this every day.
Then, the day's over and I'm back to Square One. In all honesty, I'm really not sure what I want out of life. If I was that decisive, I'd probably be somehow living it up by now, or maybe I would've bombed out completely. Not really sure if I'm living life or if my life's living me but at times I would like to think the former. There's decisions I make that I like and decisions that I make that I don't like that still shape the future I try to go towards. As for thoughts of grandeur...heh...it'd be nice to just live life in that casual way you described. College, marriage, settling down...doesn't sound half-bad really. I'm not really out to be an over-achiever but at the same time I know anything you want out of life doesn't come easy either (well, most times at least). As for the how...no clue...it'll happen one way or the other, though. |

| I want to be a teacher. I'm thinking for younger kids, like kindergarten, 1st grade.. maybe 2nd. So that does require college, which I very much plan on going to.
Getting married and raising a family is exactly what I want, as well. Just as long as I'm happy, life will be good.  |

| I'm at the college phase right now, so... no more high-school scares for me. I think everyone should come up with a backup plan though. You never know what life-altering disaster will happen to you.
Plan A -I hope to at least survive long enough for an associates degree -I would like to dual-major in graphic and fine arts -I would like to get experience in a business class to learn about investing and starting a company -I want to be the boss of the company, employing others to manage the business -I also want to be an art professor in UT@Austin or an art instructor at a high-school --I would try to make the class as fun as possible and try to encourage my students to do well -I'll buy assets in real estate and nice chunks of land -I'll retire early, sell some of my assets and give most of the money to my daughter -I'll die happy Plan B -I'll take up a web-design career and live off financial aid until I can get my head above water -I'll try to pick up where I left off -I may get into the airforce after college so they can pay off my tuition for my next classes |

| I'm currently working on learning as much as I can as fast as I can. Seeking out any advantage I can get my hands on to get hypothetically, "ahead of the game", mentally. In the next few years I hope to balance out and fill many areas I am lacking in terms of knowledge with respect to programming, politics, and especially business. Although I'm not a business man by nature, I realize it is an absolute necessity to do the things I want in life.
I hope to start my own real business (I don't count my current web design side-business as I'm still in school and I don't work it like a real job..) within the next 4 years, and to start and sell at least 3 companies for hopefully large sums of cash by the time I'm 35. Sounds ridiculous, I'm sure... but check back in 15 years.. Although I program now, I don't see myself as a career developer.. I have no specific goals and I don't envision a grandious lifestyle. Just enough to be comfortable, possibly in the city. I would really love to make my way to some place like Portland, Oregon. If I could move there within the next decade (realistic, I would say) I would be extremely happy. I will always continue learning, designing, introspecting, and most of all... enjoying whatever I do, because that's the point of life. |

| Well, I've been away from home for a half a year, and I've come to realize, the human mind, has a sense of ... well... you need to belong to something, a family, a team, an organization, a message board, etc. Me, I need to belong to a family, and look forward to starting my own someday. | |||

| I want to be a musicians. Whatever my future has in store for me, it want it to have something to do with music in some way, its just my passion...my everything. And speaking of my everything...being alot closer (in the physical sence, theres a distance of a few states between us right now) to my girlfriend wouldn't hurt at all. I think it'd be the icing on top of the cake. Getting to do what I loved with her by my side. Heh, hey, a guy is entitled to dream, right? ;x | |||

| I have a few plans such as right now, going to school, graduating with a BA in Graphic Design company maybe a minor in Business to open my own business which would be very cool. I want to make enough money so I don't have to worry about finances or struggle with them. I want to work but still have a good balanced life with family and work. Before having kids I want to go to different countries and maybe study abroad for a year or maybe even just a semester in Spain or something. It'd be sexy to even have a villa or something in another country. That's a dream but if I work hard enough I can have all of that . |

| In the short term, my plans include making it through this year... if it kills me.
I don't really want all that much. I want to get my finances to a point where I'm not in a constant state of panic about debts that I have hanging over my head (that may or may not be my fault). I want to find somebody with whom I can share my life -- preferably not somebody who abuses me like I have found in the past. I have realised in recent years that I want kids... but not yet. I just want a quiet life and somebody to share it with. For the moment I'd just settle with my life being a little less stressful and people in my life pulling their weight around the house.  Damned housemate arsehat... shit, he didn't pay his fkn rent again either today!! ARGH!!  Well that's it, I have no money for groceries... *walks off rambling about bills and groceries and money and rent* |

| I'm gonna become a doctor as long as I can get past my laziness and lack of confidence in my academic ability to conquer these unnecessary but necessary science courses. I'll be like 31 when I start working(College-Med School-Residency-Fellowship). Honestly, right now things may be bad in terms of my grades(struggling to pass all my classes with the skin of my teeth) but I am naive enough to think that no matter how bad things are now they will get better. Like even though I feel really stupid getting such low grades, I think things will work themselves out for the best and I can't see myself doing anything else but becoming a doctor. Based on my experiences of helping others in the past, I think it will be a fulfilling career and I will be sure to keep it real and maybe become some sort of "phantom demagogue" for peace and shit. I also really want kids(I would be the most cautious/fun Dad ever) but of course want to settle down with someone nice. I have never dated and don't really believe in it but I'm always curious of what girls think about me. As far as living goes, I don't care where I am as long as I'm with my family. I want to be in a financial situation where I can help others. I think that covers like everything. Now I just gotta pray that I'll live that long and that the world doesn't explode before then. | |||

| Honestly.
I want to be a musician a comedian a doctor (and join doctors without borders so I can help people everywhere who can't afford decent healthcare) a politician a bride in love a mother and a grandmother. If I accomplish any of these things I'll be a success. I'm not really an overacheiver, I just set alot of goals.. so if I even make one.. I'm good. Things I want to accomplish before I die.. not jobwise.. visiting antarctica living in australia or new zealand learn how to surf.. for serious be in romeo-and-juliet minus the suicide love leave my mark on the world somehow. |
