So as I was laying in bed, unable to sleep, I started to think about all the things I want to accomplish in the next couple of years, either before I get to old, have no money, or have a job that doesn't allow for any free time.
Go to the next summer Olympics (2012) and attend at least one swimming event;
Go to a Superbowl, preferably when the Patriots are in it, but hey, I know they can't make it every year;
See the Patriots win another Superbowl;
Take a roadtrip across country;
Take Rt. 95 all the way from MA to the Florida Keys;
Take an obscure highway/road back home;
Visit most of the United States - however, there are just some states I am definitely not interested in visiting, like North Dakota, for example;
Take another great vacation with a huge group of friends and make more memories;
Make a difference for a future Simmons student - exactly how, yet to be determined;
Send my parents on a really great vacation, showing them how thankful I am of how much they have provided me over the years;
Host my own fundraiser in David's memory and donate all the money to the Make A Wish Foundation;
Find a job I really love;
Live in someplace other than MA for at least a year;
Get a master's degree;
Become somewhat famous in whatever field I decide to persue;
Have one of my photographs and articles appear in a magazine or book;
Learn to properly read a map, then forget everything I know and just go somewhere without any plans or destination;
Own a beach house where I can see the ocean from my bedroom anytime I want;
Receive an honorary degree;
Design my future house;
See if I can find out where my ancestors came from, then go visit their hometowns;
Learn to paint better than I currently do;
Learn to play the guitar;
Experience New Year's Eve in NYC;
Stand on the Esplanade for the Boston 4th of July fireworks;
Attend Mardi Gras in New Orleans;
Go dog-sledding;
Send a message in a bottle;
Knit afghans for any future grandkids like my grandmother did - they can be close friend's grandkids too;
Shake hands with someone who has truly changed a country;
Fly first-class;
See a sunset and a sunrise in the same day.
That's it for now. Now, I need to get out there and start accomplishing these goals.
