Basically I don't know what to do with my life, which I think is fine, I have some goals that I'd like to achieve because my life got way off track this past semester in school and stuff in general.
I just think that we put too much pressure on kids in high school and college to figure their lives out right now, but isn't the whole point of high school and college and those "early years" of adulthood to find out who we are? I say that it's better not to know exactly what you want to do when first coming into college, it makes life all the more flexible and easier when deciding what major you'd like to pursue.
I came in thinking that I'd want to be a music teacher, a high school music teacher to be exact. How very wrong I was. After one year of being a music major, I switched to something I excelled in as well as enjoyed: Anthropology, but alas this is where my life and priorities got off track and so now I'm having to move back home and attend community college before transferring back into a four-year university.
Anyways, like I said, it's a week before my 20th birthday and I thought I'd share 20 things that I'd like to accomplish in my life, right now, after experiencing 20 years on this planet.
1. I want to actually finish writing one of my novel ideas and maybe get it published.
2. I want to travel the world. And not as a tourist
3. I want to meet the people who inspire me.
4. I want to find out who I am, what I believe in, and the place I feel at home.
5. To own all the shows I nerd about constantly, just to say I did.
6. Learn an instrument, like really learn an instrument.
7. I want to find that person I can't live without, but not right now.
8. I want to guest star on a TV show, preferably Sanctuary because it's awesome and possibly my most favorite show by far besides Stargate: SG-1 and Star Trek: Voyager.
9. I want to be truly happy :)
10. I want to be a mother, even if it means adopting.
11. I want to inspire someone else, even in the smallest way.
12. I want to finish my education and be happy with what I've done.
13. I want to be fluent in another language, even if I keep goofing up my first.
14. I want to make my parents proud, no matter what I do.
15. I want my brother to stay safe while serving this country, no matter where he is.
16. I want to do something spontaneous with my life, just for the heck of it, for my enjoyment alone.
17. I want to learn photography, so I can capture the world as I see it.
18. I want to find friends who will always be there regardless of the time or what's going on in my life.
19. I want to be accepting of myself and accepting of others.
20. I want to LIVE LIFE and to always strive as I as I can go.
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.

Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.
