Are you where you thought you'd be?

[Buruku]

Everyone has goals or hopes of what they will be doing in life or what achievements they'll make. So, are you where you thought you'd be right now? Anything happen that you never expected? Experience any major set-backs or breakthroughs?


Also, if you don't think you've been alive long enough to really answer this, you can always mention where you hope to be years down the road.

 

Go ahead and kick me if this topic is currently on misc, I don't remember ever seeing one.

[Capernicus]

I'm pretty much where I planned to be. Graduating this coming this June, starting teaching credential program immediately after. I just hope to get into the MEd program and an intern job, and I'm all set. =D

[Beast]

I won't lie I've been set back a bit, having lost my last job. Was hoping to keep it a little longer, save a little more money then get out. Though I suppose I have time to do other things now.

[Iceflower]

Well, I am where I thought I would be. I am at school. Still. ^_^
But I've actually never thought, that I would be like that now (my current self, I mean =]).
I am happy about it though, because I changed for the better.
Now I am looking forward to studying somehow. Maybe psychology =D We'll see ^^

[Magical Soul]

Lol i didn't think i'd be anywhere...I think i'd rather be dead actually..

[Fiery]

I could never have predicted the things that happened to me recently. I made a major move 1200 miles from home, and my whole lifestyle has changed. If anything, it's taught me that I don't have to plan my whole life right now.

[Zenga]

I'm exactly where I planned myself to be. In a good relationship, about to gradduate from colllege (though not the one I wanted to go to) and I have a decent job. Life is sweet.

[Amray The II]

Yes I am. I am on my way to becoming a police officer and am closer than I ever was to this achievement. But that is not to say that things from here onwards cannot become a failure so I have to remain focused on achieveing this goal.

[Mewsic]

-.- no...(doesn't know what they want to be) quite sad T,T

[Baka]

I never plan too far ahead in life. I guess I'm not quite where I'd like to be but I am in no way unhappy about where I am.

[Miss Moonlight]

I didn't expect to ever be here, but I am happy to be where I am, even if it's hard sometimes and it took alot of of work to get here.

[Rein*]

I'm definitely not where i thought i would be. The set backs come in folds and they are bad but i'll rise above soon enough. I just have to be creative but like most persons the biggest issue is monetary and university is costly.

[Eikoseisui]

I'm sort of where I thought I would be since I'm in college now. But unfortunately, I have had a few setbacks.

[Diocletian]

I'm happy enough to be alive. Hell, I could be dead. I'm 15, and well...not sure if I'm on the right track, but I'm sure I am.

[Bulf]

I'm not sure really, but in about a week, i'll know for sure...

[blueangel06661]

I never thought I'd be where/how I am now. But I'm still trying to get to where I want to be... o.O I never thought I'd be getting to where I want to be either..

I guess I just don't think much ^__^ But I'm happy. So many things have happened both good and bad.. But it's alright.

[Sagat]

Uhh ... no. But I am quickly moving in the direction to that point - after four long years.

[TheDesertFox]

Yeah im where i wanna be, im going to graduate high school soon then im off to college.

[Wario!!]

My life is just at a stalemate position, but I do have plenty ahead of me.

[None of the above]

Relatively speaking. 3 years ago, I didn't know what to do with myself. Last year I got awfuly stubborn about my education, what got me where I wanted to be.

But other things coming along with the change, I went through... not.

[Aleyna]

Well I think this is a great topic created, nevertheless.
I think I am better, then I could ever imagine. I graduated before anyone else, and I am going to college this May. My life is set.

[Adamec]

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I'd be where I am now.

I figured that I'd just jump right in to a nice paying job right out of college and be on my way. I didn't really enter the job market until very late 2008 due to some personal complications, but when I finally did the economy tanked. The job market hasn't been to kind to me since then.

I'm designing my own card game a la Magic: The Gathering and several other things to market and hopefully make some coin. I never saw myself as the inventor type, but what can I say - it's fun! If you ever see "Age of Chaos" alongside Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Pokemon on your local comic shop's shelves, you'll know where it came from...

[Kishiro]

I could never have predicted the things that happened to me recently. I made a major move 1200 miles from home, and my whole lifestyle has changed. If anything, it's taught me that I don't have to plan my whole life right now.

She basically beat me to it.

If I think back to even just one year ago, I couldn't even begin to imagine that things would be going this way. The move coming up (to Florida) this summer, the friends I've made over the past year, the changes I've made to my college curriculum.

I know for sure that if you would have asked me two or more years ago if I would ever live in Florida or Texas, the answer would be "Hell no."
And it still is for Texas.

I didn't think I'd ever go in to Criminal Justice, I was set on Sociology and Psychology degrees for the longest time.

Don't think for a second that things will always (if ever) go as exactly as you planned them. Because I can tell you from many, many, experiences that they seldom do.

To all you younger members out there, don't freak out too much about growing up, planning your life, college, or relationships. You'll figure it all out in due time, when you're good and ready. Find and know yourself first, and roll with the punches as they come. Really, the best you can do is live day-by-day right now. Not to negate the importance of doing some saving and planning for some things, but like Fiery said-- you don't have to plan out your whole life right now.

What's the rush?
