My sophomore year of college is about to end, so I’ve had to think a lot about my future recently and how my current actions will affect the rest of my life. While I have experienced some really cool things in just 20 years, I have been thinking about the things I want to experience within the next decade of my life. Some of the things I have listed may seem really simple, while others are major milestones; nonetheless, these are the goals I have set for myself. None of them are in any particular order, they are just listed in the order I thought of them in, which may reveal how I really feel about these goals.
