I believe that everyone has a "bucket list". You might hear people talking about it every now and again, but most people tend to keep their life long goals to themselves. Bucket lists can be ever change because as you grow and get older new thing seem more interesting to you than they did five to ten years ago.
My current short term bucket list entails: graduating from college and getting a job, having an internship, getting a racecar, and making either the ISU football or wrestling squad. Graduating college is obviously a very big goal but one that can be easily achieve through work and effort put into work. The job also goes with college as once you finish your schooling a job is where you look to next. The other two on my list are for recreation fun. I love playing sports and I feel that it would be an awesome accomplishment to say that i played on a NCAA Division 1 team. And last but not least in my short term goals a racecar. Working on racecars and being at the track is such a thrill to me. My dad and uncle raced 15 to 20 years ago and I think its one of those traits that are passed down.
Long term goals can be hard look forward to as life is ever changing, but it gives you plenty of time to go after them. Some long term goals I would like to have would be to: establish a family after getting a job, be able to stay out of debt, and travel to Germany, and a few other European countries. Establishing a family is a goal that will take place in roughtly 8-10 years once my feet are set in a job and you know what to expect with the job. Staying out of debt goes with the job, if you get a good job that pays all your bills and leaves you enough to live on well where you dont need to borrow money, staying out of debt should be no problem. And traveling is just something to look towards doing once you have money and time to when the kids leave the house. I have always wanted to go toGermany and see the history that was left the from WW2 and you might as well just travel the other countries around there that you want to go to while you're there.
As I said before, "Bucket Lists are ever changing." I may someday not want any of the things I just said, and most likly there will be more added to the list. Also everyone has different dreams or things that they want on their bucket list which create individuality.
Those sound like really cool things to do. I think that you wanting to deal with racecars is pretty sweet. I also want to travel to places in the future and you right you do need a good job to accomplish these plans.
ReplyDeleteDriving a racecar would be insane. Definitely seems like one of the more "thrilling" things to do, especially since driving at just 130 is fun and intense.
ReplyDeleteCool goals! Thats awesome that you want to work hard to get onto the wrestling or football team. Also, I would like to drive a racecar too. My industrial tech teacher in high school used to race, and recently got to go to the Iowa Speedway and race. He said it was awesome, so I hope one day you can do that also.
ReplyDeleteI think going to Germany/Europe and seeing all of the historical sites from WWII would be awesome. WWII is by far my favorite time period in history.
