<p>College-wise? Career-wise? Do you even have one, or are you just going to roll with the punches?</p>
<p>What do you actually want to do with your life?</p>
<p>Personally, I bet I'll be feeling pretty inferior to most of you. =p I was thinking about going pre-med for a loooong time. And I just recently came to the conclusion that while I would like being a doctor, I wouldn't really love it. I'm not really the type of person who can be at work for 12 hours a day and be on call whenever. And I honestly don't think I'd ever get through a residency. I decided to go with where my talent leads me. I'm good with linguistics and writing, and I love pop-culture and am fascinated by the media, so I've decided to become a novelist and/or a screenwriter/playwright. It may not be directly benefitting anyone, but I'll most certainly love what I do. </p>
<p>Grand plan? I've screwed up my grades beyond belief, so instead of having my dream ivy, I have my dream slightly-more-average school, which happens to be Fordham. Assuming I'm accepted, I'd want to major in communications and media studies with a concentration on journalism and a double minor in creative writing and political science. Hopefully get involved in the newspaper and literary magazine. I then want to go for a masters in creative writing at Columbia. Hopefully have a few novels published or some movies out by the time I'm 30, and be writing for a major television show. :) Ultimately, I want to make my own hours, and have enough free time to travel at leisure and have a family. Oh, and I want enough money so that I can get an apartment in Manhattan. That's about it. </p>
<p>Go to college.. Become a cardiologist... Buy an audi r8... Fall in love with some chick... Live in either oakland or philadelphia... That's about it...</p>
<p>I want to either be a Music or an English major. </p>
<p>If I go with music, then I wanted to direct high school band for awhile, and then move up the chain, perferably to a more prestigious symphony orchestra. I'd really like to be the founder of a young childrens' orchestra that would supply instruments to the younger students (6-12 years old and then another orchestra for older students). </p>
<p>If I go with English then I think I'd either like to become a college professor or high school teacher or I want be a book editor.</p>
<p>I'm looking to moving to Boston, or Upstate New York. </p>
<p>Hopefully I'll get married around 28-ish. Then I want to have kids and be a stay at home mom. </p>
<p>Yep. My dreams are slightly different than most here.</p>
<p>I always wanted to be a Psychiatrist, although I am having second thoughts recently. I may possibly want to go into research, but Biology/Psychology/Neuroscience will always be my fields of choice.</p>
<p>My ultimate goal in life is to have a job that pays decently, but most of all, to be with a woman who shares mutual love with me. Sounds shallow, but I can't see myself being any happier than that.</p>
<p>Go to college. Spend a couple years "deciding" my life. 99% sure it'll be in science. Get at least a decent job, one that pay for both things that I want and need, that doesn't give a toooo much stress. </p>
<p>Fall in love with a "Mr. Right" somewhere along that^. Get married around 27-28 and live a few years without a baby and then have kids at 29-30. Stay at home/part time work until kids are a bit older, then go back to working.</p>
<p>Ultimate goal: Live my life with no regrets, and be happy.</p>
<p>Dominate the galactic cluster, control all baryonic matter, defeat the anti-matter organisms in a universal war, develop a way to travel between parallel universes, conquer all known universes, reverse the second law of thermodynamics. </p>
<p>Then we smash through the edge of the universe, just to find ourselves within an atom in a bigger universe. Conquer that universe.</p>
<p>Go to semi-competitivie undergrad, hopefully make it into MIT-WHOI grad school for marine bio or at least a strong marine bio grad program and get my PhD. Work at either woods hole or a certain shark research center. Save up money from each paycheck to be able to go to Hawaii, California, South Africa, and Australia eventually. :D That's my dream.</p>
<p>harvard, intern, degree, some other MAJOR law/business school, work, intern, degree.. haven't figured it out after that and i don't plan on to, i want to see what road my life takes</p>
<p>go pre-med in California(preferably Cal Poly Slo). Then hopefully go to UCLA or UCSD medical school. Then another 5 year radiology residency in southern california. Start a family around age 27-28. Start working as a licensed radiologist by age 30.</p>
<p>Start my own business along with my hospital job. Hopefully make 1 million$ a year. Retire at age 50 and do whatever there is for fun.</p>
<p>Go to Cambridge, get linguistics bachelors, take some sociopolitical/sociolinguistics papers depending on availability, get masters in either linguistics of international relations, be done in 4-5 years, meanwhile meet someone really fantastic . Move back here, get a job or something, travel, get married, travel, have babies (2), travel, work, retire early.</p>
<p>oh yeah i forgot. two of my goals in life are to travel the world and backpack through europe. esp. the backpacking in europe: bringing nothing but a backpack. i don't care if i have to sleep on a bench--- it's exciting.</p>
<p>I want to be a psychologist. Not the kind who talks to people, the kind who injects lab rats with Prozac. Or maybe a sociologist because statistics are my passion. I want to study the effect technology is having on our society as a whole.</p>
<p>I guess it doesn't make sense that I'm a math major. But I love proving things, and it's funner to solve problems than write essays.</p>
