what I want to achieve between now and next year

Thursday, February 13, 2014

I was thinking I should post some life goals for the next year, year and a half that I want to achieve. I need to do this for myself so I can look back and see what I have accomplished so far and what other stuff I still need to work on to make things happen. So let do this!

1. Find a new job.
Sure I get payed and it's not all too bad, I love my co workers. But it's not my dream job. It's not the job I went to college for. Not to be a little ungrateful bitch, but I want something I love to do and want to do for the rest of my life and this is not it. I would love to have a graphic design job or at least be more creative. I need it to be full time because with this paycheck I can manage, but not if I want to achieve my other goals which need a lot of money.

2. Travel
It's been years since I really travelled. Since I was a kid I always went on vacation with my parents. When I was really little we'd go on vacation 2 or 3 times a year. When I got older at least once. Now since college and graduating and all that nothing. I went to Valencia once in college. And I want to go back. I want to travel the whole world again like I used to with my parents. London is my goal for the next year or 2 years, depending on all the other things going on in my life right now.

3. Save a hell load of money
Of course we all want a lot of money, maybe just to come by or maybe to travel or such. I want it to achieve my goals. At the moment I have a part time job so I don't have a hell lot to spent at all yet I come by and I can do lots of fun stuff with my friends or family. Yet I want to save. Most of the months when my paycheck comes in I directly put most of it into my savings account so I know I won't use it unless for emergencies. I mean, I really don't have to go shopping every single month do I? But most of the time I do and I need to stop that.

4. Grow up
It seems easy, for a 23 year old, to say but it really isn't easy to do. My priorities are right, I know that. But still I make the wrong decisions, I still do things that affect ME negatively. And if I want to achieve my ultimate goal I need to be selfish and think about myself first.

5. Move out
I've wanted this for a while now. And I know it's easier to stay at home with mom and dad who do all the cooking most of the time and bring me to work and do basicly anything I could wish for. But I really need independence. I need to stand on my own two feet. Within the next year or year and a half I really want to move out and find a place of my own. I'd rather have a room mate so the costs would be split in half and we both have something left to still have fun. Realisticly this is possible, I only need a full time job and save a hell load of money to be able to do this.
