Let's be real..

[spansen]

I'm pretty sure there hasn't really been a thread like this in here, at least not one I've read.

What's everyone aspire to be? What are some life goals?.. life.

[fadedmemories]

I'm not sure yet, but I'm considering a career in psychology

[Burning Star IV]

I think there's a similar thread in Education.

Right now, my goals are get my undergrad and then my Masters. That's about it.

[stars_hidefire]

finish undergrad then grad school.

then after a bazillion (or 6) years of school, I will teach 7 year olds how to add and subtract (: or teach them how to speak english after moving here from mexico/spain. (elementary/ESL teacher)

[11:11]

Get into an Ivy League college, move to England, record an album in the vein of old John Mayer, Damien Rice, etc., have 2-3 kids, become a doctor/forensic scientist.

I don't really venture outside of the Personal Life forum, and this is more life-oriented, not so much about school..

But, I hope to finish school on time with a Bachelor's degree in Arts Management and a minor in Music, move on to a career in the music business, fall in love, marry, be happy, and stay close to my best friend of already about 14 years.

[Metfan615]

I'm thinking about majoring in Business Management and who knows what will happen from there...

[spansen]

good things, hopefully.

my ultimate goal is to just be happy.

[anamericangod]

I would like to be happy and healthy.

Career wise, I am freaking the fuck out because I have no clue what to do with myself after I graduate.

[spansen]

i know what i want to do, i just have to get there.. but i still have another year and a half left of school.

[Brooklyn2010]

I don't ever want to loose my passion for life, or dance. I want to maybe be a dance choreographer, or maybe a motion graphics artist. I want to try new things, I want to live the rest of my life with someone who loves me, I want to inspire people, I want to help other kids achieve their dreams and goals. But most of all, I want to just make people smile and laugh. I want to make them excited for life and love and everything else in life they should be happy about.
Wow, do I sound like a flipping hippie or what, haha.

Oh and I still want to find a way get inside one of those blow up snow globes :D

[spansen]

that's quite a list.. and i like a lot of your goals, good luck!

[Brooklyn2010]

that's quite a list.. and i like a lot of your goals, good luck!

Hah, thank you. I'm hoping that some of them come as a package deal, you know? I mean, by being a choreographer, I can help so many kids do what they love, and still be doing my job. Which is incredible to think about, if you ask me. :)

[4N6 science]

I'm currently going to graduate with a Bachelors in Biology and a minor in Criminal Justice. I hope to one day to be a forensic scientist.

[jtsnazzy]

I'm currently going to graduate with a Bachelors in Biology and a minor in Criminal Justice. I hope to one day to be a forensic scientist.

That's pretty cool! If I didn't royally suck at science, I'd want to do the same thing.

we all have to strive to make ourselves happy first, and if that helps out others too it's even better.

that would be awesome

[updownleftright]

journalism, writing for any kind of music/film magazine that would take me.

also aspiring drummer. that's my preferred pick but i do know reality from fantasy.

[samsara]

i have been freaking out since the high school, because i dont have a clue what i want to do

its either going to be something in music, psychology, or medical but i cant decide

i have so many panic attacks thinking about this

That's really interesting. Are you going to school for journalism right now?

[samsara]

yeah people tell me this all the time

but im in college and i have to make a career plan soon and i dont even know

im like um pass?

but i have always worried about this stuff

[spansen]

general studies

[updownleftright]

That's really interesting. Are you going to school for journalism right now?
technically mass communications but i'm focusing on the journalism part. there's soooo many magazines out there that i really feel like this is something i could achieve. i just need some connections, in the mean time though i'm writing for my paper weekly and trying to write in whatever else i can as well.

[samsara]

im in liberal arts right now and its just stupid

all of the classes that you have to take are freaken easy
and its ridiculous

[spansen]

hop on board your school's paper if they do one, and find a local company to intern with.. there's plenty of opportunities available!

[spansen]

im in liberal arts right now and its just stupid

i'm doing arts management with a music minor.. classes are sometimes easy (and i like that) and sometimes hard and kind of irrelevant.. just take a bunch of classes and you'll figure out what you're most interested in!

Cool, cool. It definitely is achievable! Its probably the best route to follow in that field. Are you planning on staying in,Georgia, is it?

[samsara]

yeah i need to find something

its only a 2-year community college so they have to dumb everything down

im going to transfer but i dont know where to yet

[caityconundrum]

i'm studying as a communications major, focus on journalism.
my unrealistic goal - entertainment writer. see: almost famous. haha.

i have no idea what i want to do with my life though. i don't know if i have anything i think i could be successful at and that terrifies me.

[Freeride]

probably the most serious post i have ever made on these forums.

I want to be a Comic book artist/writer

I have no problem with not making alot of money out of a job, its more knowing im happy and proving to myself I can create and tell a story that others will love.

I want to be able to make characters where I make so much detail up about them that I have full family tree's where I know each and every personality and background of every person in that tree but only the main character has a story written about them.

May sound weird but I love the idea of making a world where there is sooo much detail but only I really know everything about it. I guess you could say its kind of a god complex but I feel its important and would actually show in the story with how much was actually put into it.

and of course I love drawing and making these characters come to life and be appreciated by more people then just me, so that one day I know someone would of read it, enjoyed it and recommended it to someone else.

There would be no bigger compliment that I could think of...

[Juliet R Delta]

I want to make music. I don't care if its hugely successful or not. I just want to play and have someone hear and it mean something. I just want to do something I love doing, rather than something that makes me look at the clock and wait for home time.
I'd also like to live near my mum for a while at least.
And get a degree or be learned in something. Something like music/sound production. I need to do more than what i'm doing now.
I'm such a corporate whore

[BJW7191]

going back to school, becoming a teacher, coaching baseball/football/and or soccer, having 2-3 kids, moving out of louisiana

[Hainzey X]

all i want from my career is to be able to do music for a living, and nothing else. to be able to get out on the road and play music for people, see places ive wouldn't have been able to see otherwise & meet people who i never may have meet.

i currently front a metal band & write my own music on the side. id be happy doing either one of those, even both.

i don't need to be selling out theaters. i don't need thousands of kids hanging on to my every word. i don't need a big, fancy tour bus. although all those things would be amazing, all i really need from life is to be able to tour.

im well aware that touring isn't easy & making it as a musician is harder then ever, but this has been my dream long before the iPod & digital music. i am determined. i practice every day, every waking second that i get.

and if i never do get to tour for a living and see the world, ill at least know never be able to ask " what if ? " because ill know i gave it my all.

awesome thread, can't wait to read some more of other peoples aspirations & dreams.

[updownleftright]

eventually i want to become an executive in the finance/banking industry.

[4N6 science]

Go get it girl! Then when you get that position, help spread the wealth to me b/c forensic scientists don't make a whole lot.

[.invisible ink.]

haha, i'll do my best. i don't want to be rich or anything, just comfortable and most of all, happy. after i make my money though, i plan on living in the country and having a bunch of animals (cows, goats, sheep, horses, chickens, bunnies, etc.).

[Heart-A-Tact]

The country? I didn't know you wanted to run a farm.

Man, I would love that.

Yeah that seems like a cool job.

[.invisible ink.]

The country? I didn't know you wanted to run a farm.



yeah, actually a couple of years ago i bought a 13 acre farm about 45 miles outside of Dallas and lived there for 8 months. it was extremely lonely (i didn't know anyone there) and i didn't quite realize the cost of starting up a farm. My commute was pretty brutal to get to and from an office job there (@ 2 hours each way because of traffic) so i packed it in and sold my farm and moved back to California, right before the mortgage bust (fabulous timing, eh?).

[popdisaster00]

Get out of school by my 4th year, and either

A) Get a job in HR

B) Get a job making movies.

[crushlustcrash]

Oh.. I meant it in a good way! In a thread similar to this, I was saying how when I was 5 or 6 my mom tried to bribe me to get up on stage at kinder graduation and say I wanted to be a table dancer when I grew up, haha... I said I wanted to be a veterinarian instead. Some kid said he wanted to be a plumber, I remember.

ha! gotcha! i believe it was for my preschool graduation we had to get up and say what we wanted to be when we were older too, i said pet shop owner and some kid said he wanted to be garbage man. ha! i still would love to have a pet shop, but i'm in school for the medical field, totally the opposite of business management.

yesss! and i think if i owned a pet shop i wouldn't let anyone buy the animals, i'd be too attached to them and end up being a crazy cat and dog lady. it would be a mess.

[argg_xo]

I see, that's understandable. But maybe someday, yeh?
of course! maybe when i'm old and happy with my life i'll start my own business or start an animal rescue.

[thespearkid]

I want to finish college with as little debt as possible accumulated. Afterwards, I'll be teaching English at a public high school somewhere in North Carolina, as per the terms of my scholarship. During that time, I'll continue writing and playing music as much as possible. After my four years of teaching are done, if I think I have it in me, I'll leave the education profession in favor of being a writer. If not, I'll continue teaching while trying to be a writer. Also, marriage, 1-2 kids, a Dalmation, and a decent house here in Charlotte.

I'm going to graduate with my degree in Business, and open my own consignment shop. I have this little store planned to death in my head. As far as the future looks right now, my boyfriend is going to build his own house, and we're going to have a few kids and be happy. It's ridiculous, I know, but it's what I really want right now.

[Chancetobe]

I always say I want to be a lawyer, but, I'm really not sure. I just want to do something that will make a difference. And at the least be able to get into a fairly good law school.

don't get too tied up into plans or it'll hurt even more when it doesn't work out

[TheSkyline]

I really want to be a producer when I get older, but with the increase in bands self-producing themselves, it seems like the need for producers is going down. But hopefully they'll be room for one more in a few years. ;-) haha

I doubt I'll get to end up doing that as a living, but man do I hope I will.

[mynameisX]

As much as I want to be succesful, jobs and money don't mean shit unless you have the above.

[iAMhollyood315]

i want to work in the tv/film industry doing production and camera work or possibly going to Syracuse university to get a masters in graphic design because its an interst of mine that i didn't get to pursue untill my senior year of college. where am i know? im at bank calling people for money. once i save up money im gonna exhaust my resources and do whatever the hell it takes to do what i want to do. the last thing i want to do is wake up 10 years later and say what the fuck am i doing with my life. i sent in over 100 resumes for jobs of my Interest and i got 2 interviews. and with the economy the way it is. im damn fucking lucky i have a job thats not flipping hamburgers to some dipshit driving a cadillac.

[iAMhollyood315]

im not trying to be a jerk, but i can tell you cut and dry....your too young to make that big of a decsion. im mean come on your 16. trust me you think a lot differently at that age then lets say mid 20's or something, once you get older and get more mature you may find you two outgrow yourselves and among other things.

obviously if i felt we were outgrowing each other i'd let it end. my goal is to keep something like this as amazing as it is now. if it became anything less, that wouldn't be "achieving" my goal.

Other than that, I really want to be as active and involved in the Deaf community as possible. Sign language is my passion, and going to school to be able to help the Deaf / Hard of Hearing individuals in my area means more to me than anything.

[tomakebelieve]

Well, for starters, I want to be published in some way shape or form by the next year (when I will be 21). I want to definitely have my fair share of working with music--i want to work for a band (maybe tour managing?) and when I am older/finanically secure, I want to start a small record label. I want to marry and have kids once my life is settled and I've found the right person. I definitely do not want to die alone. And I want to also maybe run my own music-related store. I am very gifted at retail/business stuff. I also want to at least graduate from college by 25.

I'm an English major so I someday hope to publish poetry and a novel(s). I don't care if they're successful, I want to connect with people the same way i connect with my favorite authors.
I'm also interested in photography so I wish to travel aimlessly and carefree with someone, working crappy jobs in between to raise money to keep traveling. As a whole, I don't plan on making a ton of money, as long as I can maintain a decent standard of living.

I wonder what these wishes will look like 50 years from now haha.

specialize in reconstructive surgeries? ha

care to elaborate on doctors without borders?


haha i thought doctors without borders meant doctors without moral borders, as in stem cell usage etc.

[Danlol]

i want to do clinical psych, working pro bono a certain amount of time with underprivileged, and kids who dont want to go through their parents.

I also want to do research, and get a PhD. First I've got my undergrad, honours and masters to get through :-p

[BJW7191]

[BJW7191]

awesome, i'd love to see what you're doin'

thanks for your interest


it sounds like a strange mixture of american football/owen meets minus the bear

im not saying its that good, its just the sound

[PadraicPrincess]

excellent avatar by the way. I love that comic strip.

Keep on hoping, but it isn't going to happen.

it's my favorite comic-strip anymore!

not when it's quoted into infinity.

yeah, right.. it's too late then.

[PadraicPrincess]

[spansen]

it's my favorite comic strip anymore.. as in it's better than all others in my opinion.

you have a keen eye for that sort of thing

[smogs]

care to elaborate on doctors without borders?

haha funny, funny

doctors without borders (http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/index.cfm) is groups of doctors who do medical work in other countries, usually 3rd world, who are currently going through some sort of health issue.

[spansen]

that sounds awesome.

[smogs]

yeah, i hope it works out someday. at this point, i want to go to iran cause that's where my family is from. that program takes care of afghani and iraqi refugees who are getting hurt from all the violence going on there. or some latin america country because there is a whole range of issues there.
& im sure by the time i actually get to that point in my life, they'll be different countries needing help.


what did you want to do with music? i didnt read all the posts, so i dont know if you said it already or not.

[spansen]

i want to land a spot anywhere in the industry, but preferably doing concert promotions because it's obviously the one thing music-business related that won't ever die out.

[h23eather]

currently going for my r.n. hoping to get my masters and become a np

[smogs]

concert promotion sounds really cool, actually. part of the industry i never give thought to but is obviously hugely important. and yeah, i feel like it would be a pretty secure position in the ever changing music world

[xAnti-Violentx]

I want to move to Ljubljana [the capital of Slovenia] in four years and want to study European studies and maybe English or French. After I finish this, I want to move to Berlin and find a job out there. I also want to write articles for magazines. But most of all, I REALLY want to write a book. It's probably my biggest goal. And maybe instead of moving to Berlin I'd like to move to Brussel or Strasbourg and work for the EU, but that's probably never going to happen.
Of course I also want to find someone who will truly love me and I will truly love him (or maybe her, doesn't really matter.). Oh yes, I'm just a dreamer.

[spansen]

interesting!

[4N6 science]

I want to stop being real and just be fake.

wear a lot of makeup and dress like the anti-you. keep me updated.

Done and Done.

i'd like to see you with makeup on, now please.

Eh...I need to go out and get some.

[spansen]

get to work. dreams are dreams.

That's pretty awesome, especially the writer part.

I want to teach at a community college and get tenure. Sounds lame, but it beats working in a meat department at a grocery store your whole life.

good for you, it's not lame as long as you're doing what you want.
i have a big list but i live to be busy, i can't wait until i don't have a second to breath! it makes me feel productive =/ lol

Yea I have always wanted to be a professor and just teach kids/students how to write, but more importantly I just want to give them good books (well, what I think is a good book) to read and then just conduct my class like a seminar.

And that's awesome you have a big list of things to do/be! I am kind of the same way, I always need to be doing something. Being productive is awesome.

i eventually want to become a lawyer and concentrate on prisoners rights litigation.

you must have a whole lot of patience! i can imagine teaching must be so rewarding. i always loved my english classes. i love being creative in any way. i mostly write poetry (some that i've posted in the poetry forums, not a very big following for that forum though) you can take a look at it if you want. i'd love to hear the perspective of a professional. :)

do you do any writing youself?

Haha I wouldn't consider myself a professional by any means, I just enjoy reading and writing immensely. And I would actually be really stoked to read what you wrote!

And yes, I do write actually. I am working on a novel, but I barely have anytime to concentrate on it with all the school work I have. But, I also do write some poetry, although I write it mainly as lyrics to the music I write, so it comes off as really structured and based on a cadence, but I still consider it poetry.

awsome, i'd love to read some of your stuff! i know it's hard to find time, not to mention to find time when you're inspired enough to write something! i feel like every time i find something intriguing enough to write about i'm busy caught up in something else!

if you feel like sharing some of yours, i have an open ear. i love reasing poetry, especially poetry written supposed to be music. :)

[sodamnclever]

There are so many things I would love to do with my life, but I decided on a "career in technical education with a emphasis in family and consumer sciences." My guess is nobody knows what that is...so in other words a home ec. teacher....aka those classes you took in high school to get the A. That'll be me in a few years.

I can't read the blog, apparently its private, so I'll add you. I don't have a personal myspace, so just accept my made up band myspace, kepler and the heliocentrics.

And I will definitely share some stuff! Right now all I have typed up is boring papers I submitted for publication, so I doubt you will enjoy them, unless you like Edith Wharton's Ethan Frome or James Joyce's Dubliners. All my novel/lyrics writing is handwritten in notebooks, so I have to transfer them to my computer, which I have been meaning to do for sometime actually.

awww, i always wanted to take that class. my friends all took it. it's not always an easy A, dont underestimate yourself! as long as your creative with it, i'm sure it'll be awesome. afterall, you're teaching girls how to be a good mother and wife. thats so important :)

well, i've never heard of those books, which is why you would make such a good teacher!

Haha trust me, you don't want to listen. It's just me using a lame midi program to write some tunes and find people to start a band with. I lack any form of recording equipment, and personally can't afford any of it, so I just put some crappy demos up with no vocals.

And actually, I might gave something on my computer right now from a chapter in my novel, I will take a look right now.

[sodamnclever]

Sounds awesome! What else did you consider doing?
I actually wanted to double major in journalism so I could write for a magazine. When I went to my advisor with that idea she told me my dreams were 'unrealistic.' That was pretty much a slap in the face. haha

i like the left coast, such an awesome melody. it kind of reminds me of something that would be on narrow stairs by death cab for cutie.

by the way, i'm not the best writer lol.. i'm kind of just getting back into the poetry thing lately, so don't be afraid to be critical :)

I am have been begging my friend to let me borrow is mac so I can use garage band to put up a semi-legit demo where the instruments actually sound like instruments, haha. It sucks because I just moved out to Northridge, and don't know anybody, so therefore can't find anyone to write music with.

And I am about to go read your stuff right now, I shall let you know what I think!

And apparently I don't have anything from my novel typed up. I am thinking about typing out a part of a chapter in my notebook right now real quick though, I am just debating on what part to write out.

Who knows. I don't understand why an advisor would try to steer you away from something you want to do. I mean if anything I would just be at their university longer, which would be money in their pocket. haha

Alright, I really like the first poem/newest poem you have written, especially the part with the photographs and living in the past. And your "currently listening to" section is awesome as well; Neutral Milk Hotel and mewithoutYou are amazing bands.

Haha exactly. Well as long as your working towards something you actually want to do, then that's awesome.

I actually remember my adviser telling me to stay in the original program I enrolled in (computer information systems) even though I was completely failing ever class. I ignored him and switched out to English, and it was the best decision ever.

i love neutral milk hotel. in the aeroplane over the sea HAS to be my all time favorite album. as a whole it's just genius and mewithoutYou has revolutionized my taste in music. they're even better live than on the albums.

No problem on reading your poetry! I'd like to read more whenever you write some more stuff, I love reading other people's stuff and talking about it.

And I agree, in the aeroplane over the sea is definitely a great album. As for mewithoutYou, I think catch for us the foxes is amazing, and a little better than brother, sister. Unfortunately I have never seen them live, so I will have to get on that.

And I think I may type up some of my novel, but don't really want to post it on here. Is there another way I can send it to you? Like myspace or aim or whatever?

thanks a whole lot, that was so cool of you.

lyrically catch for us the foxes for surpasses brother, sister and a-->b life in my eyes, but brother, sister is a lot more catchy and whimsical for me. it's easier to listen to if i'm just putting something on, but if i'm gonna go out of my way to listen to them i would much rather put on CFUTF. a-->b life is also a great album but not my favorite. =/

you can email it to me if you want, my email is nkalldayyy@aol.com

And I agree on Catch for us the Foxes, such a great album. I'd put Brother, Sister next, followed by A-->b life, but I still think A-->B life is really good.

And if you are still up within the next 10 minutes or so, I will type up just one little section of one chapter of mine and email it to you. I THINK i have a title for the book, which I will include, along with a general synopsis of what the book is about.

[spansen]

D&TH was really good live. They only had an eight-song setlist.. (Oh, No;Carl Solomon Blues; Paper Bag; I Just Do; I'm Not Crying...; Grace; and Saintly Rows) and since I'm a huge fan of theirs I had a blast. Definitely check them out if they get near to you.. They played my favorite track off of each CD (Paper Bag, which I actually selected for them to play over Sweet Talk :-), and Saintly Rows).. Good show, good dudes.

[chronomic]

I'd really like to be apart of Hollywood someway. Not like live there and be a gay but just be apart of making the movies in one way or another. But before/along with that I'd like to get my graduate degree in film scoring. biggest obstacle right now is paying for it...

how did you get to select what they played?

[spansen]

before actually playing ian, the singer, was talking with a roadie like 3 feet away from me saying it was between those two songs.. and i just said aloud that i thought they should do paper bag and how i was hoping they would.. so he did a bit of small talk with me, and they added it to their set list.

I love Drunk Like Bible Times.. I like both albums a lot, but Drunk.. has a lot more variety to it, and they covered all their bases and play it through pretty damn well.
