    As the title says, what exactly are your plans for the future?
    Are you still in highschool/collage? If so, what are you planning on doing?
    Did you already graduate collage, but still havent done the thongs you wanted? Please tell.
    Have you already completed your life long dream? What was it and how long did it take you?
    This isn't just about persuing a career, this is about anything you wanted to do with your lives.
    Feel free to say whatever you want about your future.


    When it comes to my future, (if you read my small rant on discord a few days ago) I don't really have anything planned ahead of me. I've always put on a façade that I've always wanted to become a veterinarian, but in reality, I'm not so sure about that myself. Ever since I heard the quote, "Why live a life withought doing what you want? That's just a recipe for a life of misery...", I've been doing some thinking for myself.

    But enough about my rambling, I want to hear what all of you have to say.

    I don't talk about this a lot. I hate my major. I absolutely regret choosing it. I went from art, to history, to psychology. And I absolutely regret not picking art. My dream is art and being able to live off of that. It's all I ever do really, and because of school I haven't improved as much as I wish I could have. So I'm not too sure what my plans for the future are. I'm hoping it pertains to art but we'll see. My plans as of right now are graduate college next year.

    I'm not really sure. I want to be able to do art and get into animation, but I always doubt my capabilities and believe that I'm not as good as everyone else. Another problem I have is that I'm very unmotivated and lazy. Right now I'm very hesitant about everything because I don't want to go into something and then realize that I can't do it after it's too late.
    I have the SAT coming up soon and that's got me worried because I know I'm not going to do very well on the math sections.

    Right now I'm just trying to find a small job and earn enough money to move as far from here as possible. This area is terrible. Id like to get my book published eventually, whenever I actually finish it, but aside from that I've never had a clue what I've wanted to do with my life.

    I had a few years when I was just working and not sure what my goals were, but now I've started doing my PhD so the next 5 years are planned for me :3 That feels good haha. I didn't know what to do with the total freedom I had there... I guess I really need goals.

    I'm currently working and I intend to continue working in admin but I do hope to start my comic! It'll probably never get big enough to be something I could make enough money to live off of but I'm sure I can bash out a page a week when I get started.
    I hope to pass my driving test soon. And save for a car.
    To be honest I don't like thinking about the future much.

    Just to graduate college. That's the main thing I'm focusing on. The other secondary thing is saving up enough money so I can live, at the very least, with a roommate for the foreseeable future.

    Small steps. At this point, I'm tired of taking giant leaps; my legs have long gotten tired of stumbling and falling and whatnot.

    I do feel like a lot of people feel like they need to have their entire life planned out, and the thought of that is pretty scary. But as Angie above me said, baby steps, that's what it's all about, I think. Things change, so it's best to work towards small goals rather than have everything planned out- that way, it's a lot easier to adapt to changes that will inevitably happen.

    For me, personally, my life is just getting started. I hope to end up getting my Masters and maybe work for the government, for the EPA or something, or any job that allows me to work with the environment and the effect it has on humans- and the effect we have on it.

    I didn't for a long time, but due to a series of incidents starting seven years ago and culminating two years ago I do know what I want and am trying to achieve it. ^_^

    I might start applying for assisted living places in case of worst case scenario.
